Title: Metroid II
Post by: FlamingCobra on November 10, 2011, 11:59:11 am
Which is the best Metroid II color patch?

I know about two of them, but I don't know which I like better and I don't know which is more widely used/recommended.

One of the ones that I know about makes the ground (at the beginning anyway) blue, like in the original Metroid. But Metroid 1 takes place on Zebes and Metroid II takes place on SR388.

The other I saw makes the ground brown, like on the front of the game box.

I also read that the NGC's Game Boy Player (which I have) colorizes Metroid II and makes it look like it's supposed to. But I haven't been able to dig up any more info on that.

VBA will also do 4 color palette. But IPS patches will do many many color palette.  :blah:

Damn you for having a 3DS. If you had gotten a Game Boy Micro, I would damn you all the way to the 9th Hell.  :drevil:

You got SF64 3D or OoT 3D yet?

BTW, why can't DS1 do GBA emu via Acekard2?

PS: My GBA SP is starting to get old. It doesn't hold a charge for very long anymore.

Got OoT with my first 3ds. Got SF and Res evil, brainy trainy, and rabids for my 2nd.


But I hardly use it. I wants me some R4 snes emulating fun. I LOVE SNES!!

I got stuck in Super Metroid. I didn't feel like looking at a guide, so I quit playing it.
I got tired of Super Mario RPG when I got to Land's End, so I quit playing it.
I got frustrated with Star Fox 1 because Andross was proving impossible to beat, even on easy, so I quit playing it.
I beat Star Fox 2 like 8 times. It was fun.
I don't know why I quit playing ALttP.

You have to use a power bomb in that glass tunnel.

Actually I'm in Norfair and I got to this giant skeleton thingy and then I couldn't go any further so I didn't know what to do.

What items you got? Have you checked as much map as possible?

I got missiles, super missiles, power bombs, grapple beam, high jump, speed boost, charge shot, ice beam, morph ball, regular bomb, varia suit.

There are a few gray areas on the map but iirc I didn't go there because I was unable to.

EDIT: I forgot this game's map doesn't show doors.  :(

who?

and

WTF I TAKE DAMAGE FROM SHINESPARKING IN THIS GAME?

yeah that's pretty much how I plan on figuring out how to get out of the pirate mothership in zero mission. I'm trying to 100% the game, so I don't feel like fighting meta ridley yet.

I also just now found a missile expansion in super metroid via shinesparking.

Single wall walljumping is a lot easier in this game. Well, having a joystick makes it easier too.......... But the reversed ABXY buttons confuse me a lot. It's hard to remember when you're using a 360 pad.

EDIT: I gave up on playing super metroid on virtual console. The gamecube's button layout is HORRIBLE for super nintendo games. In all other cases I like the gamecube's button layout.
