Because of the foundation of the first game, players have begun to accept games with female protagonists. Those who like them really like them. For the first time, women look very powerful in the game. Even if it is only in the game, it is not reality.
But it also satisfies the tastes of some people.
Especially in the first part, you can see different forms of Samus at different playthrough times, and in the end you can even see the bikini version of Samus.
To a certain extent, this can satisfy the sense of achievement of LSPs, making them willing to try the challenge more times, and then through repeated challenges, they can more and more deeply appreciate the charm of the game itself.
It turns out that playing a game once is not enough. Some games are really worth delving into and exploring dozens of times.
Then there was the Speed Run Challenge, which added another wave of popularity to Metroid.
Then we came to the second generation timeline.
The name of the second-generation game simply did not have a number and was directly named Metroid: Return of Samus.
The name alone indicates that our protagonist will continue to fight, and his return has the feeling of a hero fighting again, making people want to know more about what happened in the game itself.
However, due to the performance limitations of the GB game console itself, it is only equivalent to the performance of the FC game console, so the gameplay itself is only more perfect and does not add much content.
But because gb itself does not need to consider making a color version, it saves some resources, so the story itself is lengthened to make the character arc of each character more complete, and even the villain has some story introduction.
The second-generation Samus scientific expedition team is once again preparing to explore the planet SR388, the background planet of the first-generation Samus. They obviously want to investigate more content related to Metroid.
It's obvious that the Galactic Federation also wants to master Metroid's power.
However, just after entering the planet SR388, the expedition team lost contact.
Because of the experience of successfully defeating interstellar pirates last time, the Galactic Federation once again hired Samus Alan, a female bounty hunter, to investigate SR388.
Of course, there is another foreshadowing in this, that is, the birdmen, as an ancient race, are also secretly promoting the designation of Samus as the main operator of the mission.
This is not a random addition, but is intended to pave the way for the future. It is also what makes players most curious. They are curious about why the ancient race of birdmen takes special care of Samus.
And in the second part, this secret was completely revealed.
It turns out that Samus was once raised by the Birdmen. She can be regarded as the spokesperson of the Birdmen to a certain extent, and she can also use some of the ancient powers passed down by the Birdmen.
Therefore, except for Samus, no one can take on tasks related to Metroid.
In Samus Returns, the protagonist comes to the planet SR388 and begins to rescue the scientific expedition team.
This time, players also know for the first time that the form of Metroid is not single, but diverse, so as to better demonstrate the power of Metroid itself.
There are small insects, plankton and other creatures, and then larger insect-like creatures. They are very diverse, and each type of Metroid also has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you attack the weaknesses carefully,
Metroid can be solved faster, which adds some extra fun to the game itself.
After venturing all the way to the end, Samus eliminated the final boss, Queen Metroid, and a small Metroid cub appeared and came to Samus' side.
At that time, Samus wanted to directly eliminate this last hidden danger.
But this Metroid was different. He seemed very affectionate when he came to Samus, and seemed to treat Samus as his mother.
This may be because Samus himself was raised by the Birdmen. After all, Metroid was once a product of the Birdmen. It is normal for the Metroid cub to feel close to Samus.
Samus also felt compassion at this time, and finally gave up on killing the last Metroid cub, preparing to take it with him and leave.
But at this moment, the story suddenly changed again.
It turns out that the space pirates were not completely eliminated. A mechanical creature that looked like a pterosaur, a space pirate called Proteus Ridley, suddenly appeared, took the Metroid cub away from Samus, and wanted to
Kill Samus.
This sudden change shocked the players who first experienced it, but they were also very pleasantly surprised.
This ups and downs of the storyline made them unable to stop, so they once again threw themselves into the battle with Lidley.
Of course, Lidley was still very powerful at the beginning. In the end, he relied on the unique energy-absorbing ability of Metroid cubs to absorb most of the energy in Lidley's body, and then fed it back to Samus, allowing him to
The power gap between the two sides gradually evened out, until Samus was able to crush Lidley, and finally successfully eliminated Lidley himself.
Samus finally ended his mission and left the planet SR388 with the remaining Metroid cubs, preparing to return to the Galactic Federation to resume his life.
But at the end, another animation appeared. In the animation, something called the
We have to wait for the next game to be announced.
At the same time, after Samus returns to the Galactic Federation, what he will do with the Metroid cub he brings back is also a suspense that countless players who have become addicted to the Metroid world are eager to know.
However, more than a year has passed since the GB version of Metroid: Samus Returns was released, and they have not waited for a new Metroid game.
In the past, game series such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy would release a product every six months to a year on average.
But Metroid made players wait for more than a year. They already had a little resentment, so they started frantically posting messages asking for the game to be released.
They don't ask for the game to be groundbreaking, as long as the story is told well.
In fact, not only on the website, but now in the letters that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Corporation receives every day, there are at least two or three players asking for a sequel to Metroid.
However, Zhu Youxing was indeed a little too busy before and couldn't take care of it. He didn't think of it until he saw this post now.
Looking at the post, Zhu Youxing murmured to himself: "Is Metroid so popular? This is a bit surprising. Even though it was very popular in the previous life, it didn't have a big breakthrough in sales.
, I thought there weren’t many people interested.”
