Just saw this:
I was surprised by how many people in the comment section didn't know Metroid has 10 games.

I wonder why there aren't stories of cats waiting for their owners and dying while they wait? Cats just ****ing leave you

So Tumblr?
I actually AM trying to get attention on Tumblr with Paper Mario support by following way too much blog than I should....my dashboard is just screwed :)

Yeah, I don't think this thing can run Dolphin well lol. Maybe at okay / decent speeds at best. #NEVERSTOPINTEGRATEDGRAPHICSOMG
....actually, no, you can easilly run dolphin with a modern cpu integrated graphics cards.

Dolphin is really cpu heavy because the GC cpu working differently, it takes lots of calculation to convert to something your hardware can understand to run the gc.

Not to mention I heard gc was actually very optimised.

Having a better graphics card on dolphin is only extra stuff like higher native resolution, but the speed of running the game is more dependant on the cpu.

Isn't there 11 games? Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, the prime trilogy, fusion, zero mission, hunters, other m, and everyone's favorite, Metroid pinball!

Edit: Even then, that only lets you have one game left out of a top 10.

Oh, I see. I'll probably try it out later.

I feel like some Metroid fans would hate me if I said the first game is bad and Other M is better. I'm not joking either.

I dislike the fanbase for lots of reasons. #Ridley4Smash could be one, but that's arguable.

Well, I think most people would agree that the very first game has been surpassed by nearly every other entry in the series. It's not one of those games that aged all that well. Though most people probably would disagree that Metroid 1 is worse than Other M.

Besides, Super Metroid and Metroid Prime are both clearly better than either game.

Entirely true. All the problems I have with the first game were fixed in later games, so everytime I look back at Metroid, it makes me wish it had all the features Return of Samus and Super Metroid included. Guess that's why Zero Mission exists! :)

Edit:

I dont like the first Metroid, and Other M has some interesting gameplay at least.

I feel the same way about the first Zelda too actually, that game didnt age well at aaaaall.
Other M gameplay wise was fine and would have been better with a nunchuck. Story-wise...yeah, I agree with most that it was terrible. Also, I agree with the first Zelda also not being that great of a game either.

Difference is, many more people would probably defend the first Zelda. What with the exploration and all. Though I can see how someone might think it's too abstract for it's own good. I think A Link Between Worlds is the best mix of freedom and properly informing the player the gist of what needs to be done. Though I'm sure there's people who'd disagree.

JonTron voted for Banjo and convinced his Twitter followers to vote for him.

Um yeah, we Banjo fans are pretty damn thirsty for him to win the ballot. This is literally the only shot he has to be back on a Nintendo console momentarily.

Family reunions are not so bad! All that free food!

Neither did Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow.
I'd argue those aged great compared to others, you can still play it fresh and have fun (since besides some great improvements, the way you play these games havent changed all that much lets be honest), while Zelda and Metroid ware very "of its time" games, that are now cryptic piles of primitive gameplay.

I always wondered where Yoshi kept his long tongue and then I realized his nose is huge.
HELLO! :4yoshi:
It appears that a Yoshi's toungue can shrink and increase in length. In Smash 4, if you look inside his mouth while it's open but he isn't using the toungue (taunting, sent flying, etc.), it looks normal sized. Also, while inside their mouths, the toungue's end becomes flat to avoid sticking to their lips and teeth! The More You Know! :yoshimelee:

Any questions regarding Yoshi are expected to be taken to me in this thread.

Also, OoT has the greatest amount of Guide Dang It's I've seen.

Neither did Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow. And I heard the same about the first Fire Emblem from that fanbase too.
Personally I thought the original Zelda aged well. Had a lot more fun with it than ALttP and Awakening.

I often play FE1 in order to practice speaking as it doesn't use kanji symbols. The game has a lot of interesting quirks.

Arenas are always upclose battles, and you can calculate who you'll fight with 100% accuracy. Since Mages can fight Archers, you can get free exp and money.

The CPU will ALWAYS target Marth if possible.

Anna doesn't have a limit in Secret Shops. Everyone can become OP.

You can't increase DEF/RES by leveling up (everyone bar Gotoh starts with 0 RES). Always switch your Knight once a new one becomes available so you can get a better tank.

Triangle Attack might give you a Seizure. lol

Healers only gain exp when attacked. Though you can exploit enemy AI in Chapter 3 to quickly level up Lena to Level 20.

The Xbox boss said it'd be cool to have them in the games and that there wouldn't be a problem.
That's right, let us Rareware fans dream since we need their their dreams to come true! Anyone who had their hands on a Nintendo 64 would know how important this is. :crying:

[insert life-threatening message from a Dragon Quest fanboy]

I'll take all the variations of Slime over Chocobo.
I'd rather take a real Final Fantasy character over that silly yellow bird. Besides, Black Mage can easily use Chocobo Kick to begin with. :troll:
