Rules

1. The Golden Rule

This subreddit is meant to be a comfortable environment to bond over all things Metroid. Don't be mean, hurtful, or vulgar towards your fellow redditor; be excellent to each other. Do not harass, or intentionally troll each other. We encourage all members to engage in thoughtful discussion, and to avoid partaking in echo chambers. Participating in flame wars will see action taken at moderator discretion.

2. Submissions must directly pertain to Metroid

Our community is dedicated to all things Metroid; make sure your submissions follow suit. Stay on topic and avoid using vague references in your submission or title. Any content not directly related to Metroid will be removed. A cute title or text over an image is not enough to be considered relevant. Neither are look-alikes that are otherwise unrelated. Keep your submissions on point.

3. No low-effort posts

Do not post submissions or comments with little to no effort. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Redundant/reposted content
  • Intentionally misleading or click-bait titles
  • Poor context in the title ("MFW Ridley dies", "I'm stuck help plz!")
  • Nondescriptive media
  • Posts that are easily searchable ("I'm stuck in Green Brinstar")
  • Straw polls
  • Threads dedicated to ranting
  • Screenshots with little context that generate poor discussion ("just beat ZM!!")
  • Low quality images
  • Tierlists

4. All artwork requires attribution

It's our belief that all artists should get the credit they deserve. When posting someone else's artwork, include name attribution in the title and, if possible, a link to the original source in the replies. Failing to provide attribution will result in your submission being removed.

As a result of this requirement, AI-generated artwork is also banned, as it's impossible to provide attribution to the artists whose art was used to train the model.

5. Don't share emulators or ROMs

Discussion of emulation and hacks is allowed, but keep it simply at that. Sharing or asking for roms or emulators will get you banned, as will advocating for piracy in general. Please do not give specific information on ROM manipulation, patching, etc. If you must know how, a Google search will be sufficient.

6. Tag any and all spoilers

Tag all spoilers using the following formatting without spaces: > ! This is a spoiler. ! <

For example:

Metroid is inspired by Alien.

Ridley dies at the end.

Other M is a video game.

New Metroid games tend to be far and few between. Don't ruin the surprises they may have for others.

7. No NSFW content

Pornography and R34 content is not permitted and will result in a permaban. Content that is more lurid than typical in-game imagery but does not fall into the prior categories must be NSFW tagged, but is otherwise permitted. The line for this rule is drawn well before nudity - you're on a Nintendo game subreddit, so please keep your content on point.

8. Limit self-promotion

Don't spam the subreddit with your media. Self-promotion should require careful consideration as well as being consistently well recieved by others within the community. Limit let's plays to a single episode or speedruns to once in a while. Links to your own content should account for about 10% of your total combined submissions and comments, not including comments on your own submissions.

9. Armorless cosplay must be both OC and posted in moderation

Any cosplay without armor must be OC! Please refer to Rule 8 and post in moderation. Excessive amounts of submissions will be removed and action handled at moderator discretion.

10. Rule of Moderator Discretion

The r/Metroid moderators reserve the right to remove content or ban users as necessary if it ruins the experience of others. Any content that lowers the subreddit experience can and will be removed. Being ignorant of the rules nor disagreeing with them is not an excuse. Breaking the rules in response to someone else also breaking the rules is inexcusable.

11. Leak/Rumor Discussion

The Metroid community is prone to numerous fake leaks and rumors. To prevent the spread of misinformation and potential spoilers while still allowing open discussion, leaks and rumors must be discussed in dedicated megathreads posted by the r/Metroid moderators. Posts pertaining to leaks or rumors outside of these megathreads will be removed.

Question about potentially missing ugprade in prime remastered

Hi guys,

Hope its ok to post this here. Basically I backtracked to the dynamo room in metroid prime remastered as I just obtained the spider ba upgrade. There is also a coddite wall where there is allegedly supposed to be a missle upgrade. Well in my case it is not there. Is this a bug? I destroyed the wall and there is nothing there, reloaded and came back to it and also looks like there is nothing there.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Placing the hypothetical Metroid Movie's setting.

If a Metroid movie was to come out, what would be the best part of her story, excluding flashbacks, to base the movie in?

After receiving motivation from friends, I'm making the Metroid dream I had an official game! I've just began concept art and development. I've finished the design of the Max Upgraded suit for the Unnamed Protagonist. Will post some concept art in a few days. (Credit to eckitronix & hansungkee TSR)

If they were to ever make a Metroid movie, who’d you like to see voice Ridley? And who do you think they’ll cast for him?

This power bomb always bothered me being youger [Zero Mission]

Even tho this power bomb is easy to get i normal way , it is also know to be impossible to get in normal landing site , because this tank is locked by solid or power bombs block depending on the version.

Normally you need to do a BIG and boring back-tracking to get it (that's my own view , after doing it thousand of time tust me it's boring) , on what i worked on and thanks to the modding community.

you can now actually have it without breaking the game % rate , as the other power bomb will just dissapear (meanning max % is still 100 , and mecha won't be broken.)

Also know that if you have the early power bombs like this , it will let have save a lot's of time at tourian last metroid room and taking a major skip at mothership after full suit (only if you get gravity and screw attack)

Making the power bombs way more usefull than in the original game.

Do you think we will be able to see Samus' face in Prime 4

I love many things about the prime games and one of those things is that we can see Samus' face through her visor during cutscenes. It allows you to connect with her and see her facial expresions during certain events. This is why I found it a bit weird in the trailer we got that it's fully opaque. Game looks awesome so far don't get me wrong and I'm super hyped for it, just wish they didn't make this change. I'm thinking maybe they just haven't fully finished her design yet and I'm hoping this is the case. What do you guys think?

For Metroid 6 Imagine this concept for the level design would you welcome it ?

https://preview.redd.it/fmq7wd1s75yd1.png?width=846&format=png&auto=webp&s=79bdaa5bfd4fef67c83de9f017d003183d1f64e1

See that picture imagine that's the map of a sector in Metroid 6 imagine that you can still see Samus by the side like in Dread but you can move Samus in 3D dimension. Moving Samus in 2D but in a 3D space.

You are in a room and there is 4 doors just one push of a button and the camera change angle to see the door you want to cross.

Would you welcome such a change in the level design ? Imagine such change for the Shinespark puzzle.
