  • "Parasite" Metroid Fusion commercial that differs from the version that aired on television in 2002. This cut features additional shots and a different musical arrangement and voiceover, with less in-game footage and no rating. This was recently shared in high quality by the director, Bruce Hunt. A brand new interview with him can be found on our website: shinesparkers....
    Produced by RadicalMedia
    Directed by Bruce Hunt

    I genuinely cant believe what I'm seeing, never in my life did I expect to see this in perfect quality. Also, the detail of the Varia suit wrinkling and the left glove on the Fusion suit is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

    I remember this. I was watching Spider-Man on Fox Kids at my Uncle’s house when it hit an ad-break then this trailer came on and blew me away to the point where I practically annoyed everyone in my family about Metroid Fusion and got it for Christmas 2002… I was 9 and thus began my journey into Metroid.

      I never saw it either. Probably why Metroid games never got good sales because it was never marketed well. It sad because this commercial goes hard.
      My dad took us to Curcuit City once and I just happened to have enough money in my pocket to purchase it. It was a good time because I recently broke my wrist and couldn't participate in PE so I just sat in the bleachers and played the hell out of this game.

      @DollysplitBand Před rokem +1

      ​​@@sion8 honestly, fusion? it really does need something.
      There is, on my estimation, probably around 3 hours of unskippable dialogue in the game.
      You cannot progress to the next area wothout passing through a navigation room, at which point the doors are locked and you can't get out until you've been thoroughly navigated by Adam. This creates so much stopping and starting.
      Ok, this is a byproduct of story, right? First metroid with dialogue. Just make it skippable. Summarise in short paragraphs, please just make it faster.
      Simply starting a new save file on metroid fusion means you're going to have to sit, constantly tapping A, through like 10/15 minutes of unskippable cutscene.
      Not that fun on your 2nd playthrough, torture on your 5th.
      The game is amazing and i love it, but i would give anything for a mod or remaster/remake that could make it faster.
