38:25 One of the coolest parts of Metroid that nobody ever talks about is how the Chozo were DEEP into biopunk organic tech. When they took Samus in as a child they had to splice her with Chozo DNA so she could survive on their planet. The reason why only Samus has a power suit is because it's a semi-organic armor and 'second skin' designed to integrate with Chozo bodies. Samus doesn't need to take the power suit off, she can dematerialize it into her body. She doesn't just 'slot in' upgrades, she assimilates and stores them.
“Evil Chorizo” LOL
I've beaten this game twice, and as recently as this year and that thing where you can charge up and spin jump has rocked my whole world
Austin I hope you keep streaming forever.
Specifically Stellaris. Well. Whatever you want.
But please, stream Stellaris.
Me, fighting a Chozo: “Damn, this is some fierce chorizo!”
Me, preparing chorizo: “Damn, this is a fierce Chozo!”
The default controls of Super Metroid are downright unhinged. I always made Y shoot B jump and A dash, resorting to a bit of a "claw" finger for those rare cases you need to do a combination. In hindsight I gotta wonder how they didn't solve this more elegantly, being adamant that you absolutely do need both shoulder buttons for aiming at an angle, when you can easily sacrifice aim downward to dash comfortably. I basically looped through the whole same thought process with Mega Man X as well.
I really hope Austin finishes this playthrough live, despite the fact that he's leaving soon.
17:10 Samus is being a cop b/c aliens are skipping SPACE BAIL omg
The wheel may not be for every stream, but the wheel was SO good. You guys had some great ideas.
Never played Yoshi's Island?? Maybe someday, Austin
4:30 Ignition Factor may have been from the same developer as Operation: Logic Bomb, a more traditional top-down shooter using the same engine.
17:30 Samus Aran's ship is dubbed the "Justin Bailey", of course!
Hopefully you guys make it through the game before Austin is gone. At the end of the series you should watch the SM speed run world record, its amazing to see. The any% record is at about 45 minutes right now
Last game series streamed by Austin. May never get another one.
I’ve always been in the same boat vis a vis Genesis and SNES. Part of me really wanted to chock it up to nostalgia, you prefer what you engaged with as a formative child.
But then I’d play something like Chrono Trigger years after those systems mattered and actual rational hardware agnosticism prevailed. It’s as good as they say.
Yet the vast majority of SNES games feel off to me. I’ve tried to play Link to the Past like three or four times and I get bored right away. Mario World is ugly. Etc, etc. There’s just some through line in the majority of SNES games, maybe something as basic ad the sound chip, the color pallet, the way it refreshes the screen, that puts me on thr back foot in a baffling way.
But I always want to like the games on there. Lord knows I’ve played a ton of them. But I was never going to force myself to like a game because I was supposed to.
The SNES is pretty universally beloved. And don’t get it twisted, it’s s game console, it has tons of fun things to play on it. I get why growing up with the SNES would be full of important memories. It’s the pedestal we put it on that’s the one game thing I kind of don’t fully get. Like it’s fine. Equivalent things existed and better have come after.
Who is 3rd boi?
cado
Never played super Metroid?? Are you serious
I mean, I've been playing games since '97 when I was 2.
I never owned a SNES, first time with Nintendo was when I got a Gamecube second hand for Zelda in '04. It happens.
I'm playing it for the first time right now. I never had a Super Nintendo
