Weavel makes more sense as a nemesis conceptually as well. He's a space pirate with a personal beef with Samus specifically and has a clear motivation for said beef. Absolutely nothing is known about Sylux other than the fact that his gear is stolen Federation prototypes and he has a seething, all-consuming hatred for the Federation (and Samus by association) for... some reason.
I know retro is based but there's no way they'd make dreams I didn't even know I had come true like that.
>the two have a personal rivalry stemming from an offscreen encounter from Hunters >Sylux isn't terribly fond of Space Pirates despite hating the Feds >Weavel is hardcore loyal to Mother Brain >they barely resist throwing hands because of the "alliance" >there's a boss fight where you fight both at once, and you can trick them into friendly fire
It's wild to me that not only does Metroid multiplayer exist, but it's also good and has meta. And considering the story, and the fact Retro recruited some ex-Halo vs devs, there's a non-zero chance Beyond will bring it back.
Well, let's not go that far. Yes, it's likely to make a decent amount of cash, but a Hunters remake ain't exactly a killer app. Though you're not wrong in that there is definitely a niche to be carved out for a Halo-esque online suite. And Metroid is different enough to be it's own unique VS experience. Definitely needs a mode that emphasizes exploration though. Maybe something like City Trial+Great Cave Offensive.

Kinda offtopic but I only finished Metroid Zero few years ago, can I play AM2R next instead of Metroid 2? Been thinking of going through Metroid 2D games and then Metroid Prime
AM2R is god tier anon, and borrows a lot from ZM/Fusion. If you liked ZM you'll enjoy it.
The original didn't age well, AM2R has everything just updated.
I remember some kid wrote his friend code on the wall of Combat Hall using the power beam, because it left a trail behind. Then I did the same and we voice chatted. Really creative way around Nintendo's restriction.
I'm not interested on a remake of this because onine is now paywalled, i don't pay Nintendo Switch online, frick paid online and the morons who fell for this meme
This game was the ultimate playground game. It let you play with 3 other people who didn't even have the game... while the main player only needed a DEMO VERSION
Man I remember having a lot of fun with both the single player and the multiplayer of this.
Loved the red sniper weapon, somehow was accurate while aiming with the phat ds dpad. Tried it for nostalgia's sake recently and I could not handle the same controls lol
Dialanche should have ramped up to a high speed the longer it rolls without stopping, going real fast done slopes as well do damage on contact because it's spiky, and climbing should have carried momentum or something. His affinity was almost good but he couldn't position fast enough to amazing. His affinity should have burned faster for more fires or allow the burn to reset when it is reapplied. Also make the magmortar do headshots, also missiles do headshots. Same with Battle Hammer. Magmortar was awesome for anti-alt form combat in general though.
I'd speed up the travel speed of charged Volt Driver shots for both versions of the weapon, give the affinity a bit better tracking, maybe a DoT, and Battle Hammer on top of having headshots needs to fire faster for the affinity, as fast as the non-affinity version. Damage values are something to be looked at later. I think ammo pickups have a good timer, might change timers for health pickups, especially depending on the amount of health it gives. Combat Hall provides a good illustration of how easy it can be to flee and pickup health. I think resources need to be more easy to control, so longer timers for health pickups might make more sense. I think I'd leave the Power Beam alone, it'd probably be too good if it could fire six instead of three shots between charged shots. I'd give Sting Larva a boost that works like Rocket Star from Kirby Air Ride and I'd also make it so that it leaves a caustic slime trail that deals damage while another player makes contact with it, whenever the alt-form moves, but the trail wouldn't last long or would wind down the damage over time, and a slight damage buff to the bombs. Half-Turret just needs to be prevented being placed into objects and rendered unkillable, in other words no possibility of out of bounds should exist.
If Beyond does have VS(the other hunters are a given), who would you add? >Rundus >Gandrayda >Ghor >Dark Samus >Grey Voice >U-Mos >Raven Beak >Admiral Dane >Hot take pick: Melissa Bergman
There's a surprising number of options.
True, but as far as multiplayer revivals go it's as easy as you can get. We don't need to patch the games anymore. Just get the rom and put the dns in emulator wifi settings. Or OG hardware just make an open hotspot on your phone or guest network on router.
I remember the head hitbox being extremely lenient in this game, so I mained Trace and instakilled people from across the map while invisible. I'm sure people would have considered it obnoxious as frick if it weren't for the literal broken shit like the adjudicator glitch
Tanabe is a fricking weirdo
He'll go from asking Retro to make Prime 2 hard as frick and make some of the best boss fights in the entire series to asking Retro to focus Prime 3 on the awful Hypermode gimmick turn the Feds into bobblehead homosexuals, and have Samus get captured and turned evil by Space Pirates in the most moronic and lame way possible
We can only hope he's decided to have mercy on us this time and make Prime 4 good, otherwise the game is fricked
I remember this was the only game that I ever played online on my ds. In the few matches I remember, there was some japs with their moon runes for names getting the nuke cannon. Anyone remember the name of that weapon.
yuck
Weavel because he would have made a cooler nemesis than Sylux
I remember a long time ago some thought Weavel's dead body was in Prime 3
I'd rather have a Weavel spinoff game. Basically a Metroid game but you play as a Space Pirate and wreck Federation shit.
Weavel makes more sense as a nemesis conceptually as well. He's a space pirate with a personal beef with Samus specifically and has a clear motivation for said beef. Absolutely nothing is known about Sylux other than the fact that his gear is stolen Federation prototypes and he has a seething, all-consuming hatred for the Federation (and Samus by association) for... some reason.
who's to say Sylux WOULDNT be working with Weavel since he's working with Space Pirates now
I know retro is based but there's no way they'd make dreams I didn't even know I had come true like that.
>the two have a personal rivalry stemming from an offscreen encounter from Hunters
>Sylux isn't terribly fond of Space Pirates despite hating the Feds
>Weavel is hardcore loyal to Mother Brain
>they barely resist throwing hands because of the "alliance"
>there's a boss fight where you fight both at once, and you can trick them into friendly fire
Sylux, of course. OP as frick.
I'm an honest player.
>this player never learned to aim with the thumb nub
Morph ball bomb spam wasn't that honest. Only good counter was Noxus alt.
No main, I love all of them and hate none of them.
>spams homing missiles
At least her morphball spam will be gimped by lack of touchscreen controls.
>Missle seeks
One-shotting Black folk with the morph ball bombs was just that good.
And in the low gravity stages he could float indefinitely with them. He had the best alt.
It's wild to me that not only does Metroid multiplayer exist, but it's also good and has meta. And considering the story, and the fact Retro recruited some ex-Halo vs devs, there's a non-zero chance Beyond will bring it back.
>ex-Halo devs
they better be ex-Bungie because I don't want 343 stink anywhere my beloved series
They are indeed ex-Bungie, yes. Ones who had been around since before Destiny at that. Cautiously optimistic.
My friend and I played the shit out of prime 2 multiplayer
Same. Echoes' multiplayer was basic, but it was a pretty good time.
>splatoon mania is slowing down
>halo is dead
>market oversaturated with overwatch clones
>tf2 is dead
FRICKING REMAKE THIS NINTENDO
ITS FREE MONEY
Reeeeeeee

I wouldn't bother with the original, play either the official remake or the fan one

Don't listen to the other anons, play the og Metroid II. Neither remake captures its spirit.
crazy to think this was the most recent nintendo game that had native voice chat support.
I remember some kid wrote his friend code on the wall of Combat Hall using the power beam, because it left a trail behind. Then I did the same and we voice chatted. Really creative way around Nintendo's restriction.
I did that all the time when I ran into someone good
>wrote a 12-digit friend code with decals that disappear after mere seconds
Yeah right
It's crazy but it was done. You could make your hunter nod by aiming up and down to help communicate.
I did the exact same thing with another player. Good times
I'm not interested on a remake of this because onine is now paywalled, i don't pay Nintendo Switch online, frick paid online and the morons who fell for this meme
Trace, just to piss my friends off
Taking the concept of Metroid Prime Hunters and turning it into a hero shooter sounds brilliant to me....
>hero shooter
no. Hero shooters are shit, just make it an arena shooter like the original was.
Hunters is a hero shotter chud
hunters is an arena shooter blud
tehn why the characters have different abilities???????.???????.?????.???.????????.?.?????.???.???????.??????..????.???????..?????.????
>each hunter had its own unique hud graphics
Soul
as opposed to having the samus viser hud? are you moronic?
A lazy dev would just use Samus' HUD but recolored
I hope prime 4 is just samus running into those guys one by one
I used cheats to unlock the other multiplayer modes with randoms such as this. I hope you guys didn't mind.
I only mind if you're one of those players that turns on invincibility when he starts losing.
This game was the ultimate playground game. It let you play with 3 other people who didn't even have the game... while the main player only needed a DEMO VERSION

Heh, nothing personnel kid
I like this rock but he needed a buff somehow.
Dialanche should have ramped up to a high speed the longer it rolls without stopping, going real fast done slopes as well do damage on contact because it's spiky, and climbing should have carried momentum or something.

What do you have to say about Kanden and weavel affinity?

Nice an FPS game on the DS...
>proceeds to spend the whole match zooming around in third-person ball mode spamming bombs at point blank range
Cry about it thumblets.
I hope and pray that we get a hunters re-release or Prime 4 has multiplayer with the hunters so I can frag again.
If Beyond does have VS(the other hunters are a given), who would you add?
>Rundus
>Gandrayda
>Ghor
>Dark Samus
>Grey Voice
>U-Mos
>Raven Beak
>Admiral Dane
>Hot take pick: Melissa Bergman
There's a surprising number of options.
So anyone want to play? All you need is the dns change after all. And open/wep wifi hotspot on DS/3DS
https://wiimmfi.de/stats/game
167.86.108.126
Come beat up a noob.
does this work with emulators like desmume?
People play it with mouse and keyboard so definitely
>all you need is X and X and X and X
if it ain't one-click, it's dead. Unfortunate but true.
True, but as far as multiplayer revivals go it's as easy as you can get. We don't need to patch the games anymore. Just get the rom and put the dns in emulator wifi settings. Or OG hardware just make an open hotspot on your phone or guest network on router.
Surprising JP playerbase
Spire Chads will rise up with our Free spiderball upgrade.
sylux because the neutrinarm was too funny to use
Good for beginners
Isn't the fMetroid Hunters First hunt demo game on the launch DS systems a different from the final release?
Yes.
>MP:H gets a remake with new characters
>it's a hero shooter
TF2 is a hero shooter
I dunno, I've never played it before, so I'll probably just stick with Samus.
Current hero shooters are following Overwatch's example, no TF2's.
Since Ridley is supposed to be dead, do you think Weavel could become leader of the Space Pirates in the next mainline game?
>NOOOOOOOOOOooooooo000000000 it's not even a hero shooter cuz I don't like overwatch...........................,
fake larping posters too
>Since Ridley is supposed to be dead
Emphasis on "supposed."
metroid prime hunters is already a hero shooter
There's a remake?
No, but there should be.
Noxus. The Vhoscythe is just such a cool ass morphing ability.
All I can remember about this is getting stuck and how incredibly dark it was.
I remember the head hitbox being extremely lenient in this game, so I mained Trace and instakilled people from across the map while invisible. I'm sure people would have considered it obnoxious as frick if it weren't for the literal broken shit like the adjudicator glitch
Joey
Make Armstrong Houston canon
How did we go from this
To this
All the times I heard people wishing for a federation spinoff game over the years made this the funniest monkey's paw I've ever seen.
Tanabe is a fricking weirdo
He'll go from asking Retro to make Prime 2 hard as frick and make some of the best boss fights in the entire series to asking Retro to focus Prime 3 on the awful Hypermode gimmick turn the Feds into bobblehead homosexuals, and have Samus get captured and turned evil by Space Pirates in the most moronic and lame way possible

Is the singleplayer of hunters worth playing?
If you really like scanning maybe. It's mediocre and short.
bring him back
As a kid I was mad that the cool beamsword was locked to the shitty alt form.
I remember this was the only game that I ever played online on my ds. In the few matches I remember, there was some japs with their moon runes for names getting the nuke cannon. Anyone remember the name of that weapon.
