I feel bad for the Phazon elite and Omega Pirate. One of their logs mentions that their life spans are greatly decreased because of the space roid goo, and poor Phazon Elite can't even see out of his one eye. Even if they killed you, they probably are dropping dead shortly after. Also Omega says "Attack" if I recall correctly. The first english spoken in the series until Corruption.
I think Omega Pirate also says "FINISH HER" shortly after you destroy his phazon pads(?)
Don't forget the one trooper shouting "we need backup" from Prime 2.
"The last metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace."
RECORDED TO THE LOGBOOK
Imagine unironically feeling bad for sp*ce p*rates 😂😂
Like come on they do this shit to themselves on purpose
I absolutely hated Thardus my first playthrough but after I played it time and time again the more he quickly rose to the top of my boss list. But Omega Pirate is still by favorite part of the game, I remember being especially hyped seeing the Phazon Suit for the first time back when I was 13 thinking it was the coolest method of obtaining a powerup the game will ever do.
Fun fact Flaaghra's soundtrack in the gamecube version only looped the first 30 seconds. For little me, this was horrifying and creepy. This version and the wii one fix the issue thankfully.
yeah, the sound glitch is fixed here
Yeah, I was surprised when I heard there was other parts of the song.
Tbh I kinda like better the glitched version.
They REALLY improved everything in this game... This is how my brain remembers the original looking... 👁👄👁
The room in front of the Parasite Queen always had a Save Station there btw, it's always been Babby's First Boss Fight.
Also, most of the game will be either a boring slog or ridiculously easy once you've mastered the game like we have. That's why you NEED to play on Hard Mode (or whatever the max difficulty is called these days). Otherwise, foes like Meta Ridley aren't the threat they're supposed to be. Don't hesitate to challenge yourself.
Can't disagree with this list. They made the boss fights much better in Echoes, but Prime is still my favorite out of the trilogy because of the world, soundtrack, and story in general.
I’m happy with my character growth after my initial response to Metroid Prime and Ridley being placed 4th and 3rd respectively was to be interested in what you have to say instead of upset that your opinion didn’t match one to one with my own. This won’t stop me from defending Ridley though.
I have no defense for Metroid Prime but I will defend Ridley by saying
1. Cool factor is a perfectly viable reason for a boss fight to be better than it would be simply based off gameplay
2. Ridley is cool
3. The first phase of the fight makes sense (why wouldn’t Ridley fly around making himself a harder target?) and is also cool, and since Ridley is cool and flying is cool AND cyborgs are cool that makes for cool cubed or something
I think what's interesting when discussing the 3 Ridley fights, my favourite one is the theoretically simplest of the fights, but cinematicaly, the best Ridley fight in the entire Metroid series.
Something about barreling down towards the vacuum of space whilst 2 sworn rivals are more concerned with murdering each other is so fucking cool to me. And the ending with Samus opening his mouth and unloading as many shots as she can into his gullet is peak Samus behaviour.
I LOVE that fight, and I'm usually not one for the more "cinematic" fights in games, but something about that one is brilliant. The way he can grab you too makes great use of the perspective.
I only wish Omega Ridley had an expansion on the grapple concept where he can snatch you and smash you against walls, and you have to shoot him to get him off you whilst he bashes you like an action figure. Would make him seem even more pissed off (kinda like in the subspace emissary cutscene in super smash bros brawl, except you can fight back!)
First!!! Love you guys, you make the best top 10 bosses videos
Omega Pirate was always my favorite as well, if only for the music that plays and the sound design. I still get chills when he laughs.
I agree Metroid Prime Essence was kind of a shame. You gotta admit the soundtrack that plays in phase 2 is great though
This is a rare case of a game being called a remaster and I think it actually deserves that. A lot of supposed remasters just seem like a port with the equivalent of turning your graphics settings to ultra.
Reworking all the visual assets and rendering techniques while leaving the underlying core of the game is what I'd call an actual remaster.
I honestly might switch meta ridley and thardus, but other than that this list is solid. Nothing against thardus, i just think the fight drags even more than Ridley's. Meta Ridley just feels so fulfilling to fight. It's the whole reason Samus is on tallon iv in the first place: she was chasing ridley. The winged phase can be annoying, but it's still a bit better than thardus, who is just too repetitive. Omega pirate is definitely a great pick for number one, and i totally agree with it.
Also, when you destroy the omega pirate's armor plating, he growls and says "FINISH HER" before summoning beam troopers and vanishing.
Thardus is finally getting the love always deserved
Just recently beat Thardus, and I have to say, I respect the ranking (Though I haven't fought Ridley, Omega, or Prime yet...)
I loved this game as a middle schooler. Top 10 favorite games
Holy shit i love the commentary and insults to the bosses its funny asf. I got so surprised when you were laughing at metroid prime cuz i was watching your previous video on the original metroid prime.
Honestly the only real thing that gives away it's a remaster is that you can still missile spam like a madlad. Otherwise it's the same quality you'd see in a Sony/Bluepoint remake (Hi shadow of the colossus and demon souls how ya doin) Though I do really wish they cut Prime's HP in half
While I would rank him (it?) lower it is nice to see some Thardus love
My two favourite GC Games were Metroid Prime and Baten Kaitos. 😂 I screamed! 😂
You're list is 100 percent accurate. Gameplay is the most important thing to me as I get older, graphics and cinematics are awesome but gameplay is something you feel and do, and Prime core essence doesn't feel good to fight. What's happening story wise is awesome but damn it's a boring ass battle
To me the Metroid Prime core was meant to be a symbolic fight in the same way the second phase of Mother Brain in Super Metroid was.
Also, Parasite Queen was a tutorial boss. It wasn’t supposed to be difficult or complex
Personally I would've separated the prime fight into halves and ranked them separately. They really do feel like 2 completely different boss fights. As well I feel like the omega pirate should be below ridley just because his fight is so repetitive compared to all the others
Great video, Alex! Metroid Prime is my personal favorite of the trilogy, and, while its bosses don't quite reach the heights of the sequels in my opinion, they don't have the lows, either.
My personal ranking:
1. Metroid Prime
2. Meta Ridley
3. Omega Pirate
4. Thardus
5. Flaahgra
6. Parasite Queen
So, reverse order of appearance. Very original, I know. Lol. I can understand why you don't like Metroid Prime and Ridley as much, as they're definitely not flawless battles. For me, phase 1 of Prime is so enjoyable for me that it helps make up for the iffy quality of the second phase. Similarly, Ridley's extended time spent in flight is my biggest gripe with that fight, but the grounded finale of the battle lifts it up for me. Overall, Quadraxis is definitely my favorite boss from the trilogy, though.
Anyway, I'm enjoying your content as always and look forward to your future uploads!
Quadraxis is my favorite also, amazing fight. Wish they did stuff like that more often in games
Damn right first view guy here😼💀😼💀😼☠️😝🤬☠️🤬😝🤬☠️🤬☠️😈🤗😳🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🤣🤣🤣😂😂👻
Omega Pirate has to have been at least half my deaths so far. If not more.
Thardus is my favorite fight and I HATE Meta Ridley for the ground phase. In the NTSC version he just endlessly does his rear back/ram attack
Not gonna lie, the Metroid Prime fight on my Hard Mode (100% scans and item collection) run had me sweating bullets. It's probably the hardest fight of my experience with the remaster by far (despite the Omega Pirate fight making me eat my first and only game over).
I was fully reliant on the Power Bombs to deal with the Metroids whenever they spawned during the Core phase, and unfortunately, my RNG for Power Bomb related pickups was *extremely* bad, legendarily bad, so I entirely ran out. Having to juggle a pair of Fission Metroids while also trying to pay attention to Metroid Prime itself almost made me see a game over. I eventually tried to just power through it and ignore the Metroids entirely. It almost killed me, but I did it.
lol my tip for that is just to use the hyper beam on the metroids
@@bnguillen123or power bomb them tbh
@@bnguillen123 i hyper beamed them, takes about a second
I see you also realized you don't need the missiles to fight the Omega Pirate. It makes his fight one of the easiest in the game, but it's still fun. Also, his shockwave can ek the power troopers that a re sumoned when he fully heals and rematerializes.
I cant wait for MP2 remastered!!
The remaster is trash
7. Metroid Prime (Core)
6. Parasite Queen
5. Flaahgra
4. Thardus
3. Meta Ridley
2. Metroid Prime
1. Omega Pirate
Also while by no means I highlight I was so happy to see they were bringing etrian odyssey to switch. I feared Atlus just discarded that series after they started milking the persona 5 cash cow. But honestly great direct the only game that felt like pure filler was the fashion designer one.
I hope if they make echoes 2 remaster that the Dark World looks scarier
nintenbros, peak is back
I agree that gameplay wise Omega Pirate and Thardus are maybe the best but I've always loved how cinematic and epic the final two bosses are. It really is a culmination of the entire game. It started with chasing Ridley, and finally when you've forgotten all about him collecting artifacts he comes in and tries to ruin your plan once more. The arch nemesis is finally yours to destroy. Him flying around just solidifies the idea that he can fly away at any point. He's powerful, but he keeps trying to thwart Samus' plans, just because he hates her. Seeing him defeated by the chozo as well is such a great moment. The gameplay only enhances the epic scene that unravels.
Metroid Prime is the evil that you have been hearing about in every single scan. It is the darkness in the depths. It is shockingly ugly when first seeing it. It's important to remember your first reaction seeing this thing hanging there and then opening up as a hideous spider looking creature. The gameplay in this phase is actually really fun, and I think it does deserve a top spot for this phase alone. As far as the last phase, it is less about the gameplay and more about the scene. Again, this is its true form. We finally see how it resembles a Metroid. It's face is revealed. We see Samus dash towards it to kill it. This is also the first time Samus harnesses Phazon with the hyperbeam. That alone is a mirror of Super Metroid when she destroys Mother Brain with the power of the baby metroid. And of course, seeing Metroid Prime take her phazon suit to foreshadow Dark Samus is a great moment. All in all, I think it's easy to pick apart the final bosses because of their cinematic nature, but I'd argue it adds to the experience. Metroid Prime is not a game about constant thrill and action, it's not Halo or Call of Duty. The atmosphere, revelations, visuals, they all add to the experience. That's why the last 2 fights are my favorite.
I really like the Thardus fight: but man fuck the morphball camera fighting me whenever I wanna try and get out of his way. It’s annoying to force the camera to not look at the wall
You forgot the Shegoth boss. And the boss is fun to fight cause u can't just Z lock on and fire cause it charges his back and does nothing so you have to manually beat him which is more enjoyable than other bosses.
It’s like the plated beetle- no longer consideref a boss in the remaster
@@Cytonox I've never considered Plated Beetle or Shegoth as bosses considering those enemies become commonplace in Phendrana Drifts and the Chozo Ruins the further into the game you go.
They're considered mini bosses and they become very common later. It's the same for the GameCube version and Echoes. Echo's also had mini bosses that become much more frequent later.
1:40 Not true that save station was always there. You just missed it in the original.
so is it just the first metriod prime or all three?
The first one only
Isn’t this meta Ridley redesign a skin from smash ultimate? Cheeky buggers did the Luigi’s mansion 3 new poltergust sneak peek twice and no one noticed 🤯
This metal Ridley design is based on Metroid Prime for the GameCube with some updated model detail. Like blood grizzled all over him.
I have very mixed feelings about this games boss roster. The first 2 bosses are just fine, but starting with thardus the bosses start getting really tanky. Meta ridely has way too much health in the flying phase, it would probably be the best fight in the game if you cut like 50% of the flying part. The omega pirate is fine in that regard, you can melt his health when you’re hitting him, but breaking his armor can be tedious at points. The Metroid prime just flat out has too much health in phase 1, the core portion took like a quarter of the time phase 1 did.
Use the stronger beams and super missles.
@@MrSailing101 yep, no use for missiles in part 2 so might as well dump them.
some bosses didn't really age all THAT well... but the ones that were great are STILL great...
I dont like the new design of the Omega Pirate it just looks like a Max Steel toy, idk why they didnt gave the skin color of the concept art
The game looks and plays beautifully but I've found that it's too easy. I'm in the impact crater and haven't fought prime yet, but I haven't died a single time yet on the normal game mode. I played prime a lot as a kid so I had a pretty good memory of where to go and the fight mechanics, but I remembered the boss fights being harder. The hard game mode should be available from the first playthrough
I wondered about this myself so I went back and checked, the “normal” here is the Wii version’s normal and not the GCN one (which was indeed harder). I’ve never been a fan of harder difficulties being locked behind beating the game once either. So yeah, your memory is correct on that
@@Cytonox I also have been juggling mp2 now that the metroid bug bit me again. Just killed the Chykka boss in Torvus and wow there's a big difference in the difficulty there. Still haven't died yet, but find myself at really low hp by the end of the boss fights.
The light and dark worlds add a lot of confusion to navigation though so I've always felt like mp1 was the better overall game, and the ammo conservation thing can sometimes feel a bit irritating by making it feel like you can't use your powerups very freely
Can you really power bomb Ridley in the second phase. TIL something new 😂
I would have to agree about metroid prime's core phase. The boss is very boring as it's mainly a patience game more than anything else. There are no other good attacks it does. All it does is a splash attack, which is very boring, and then soon after, it will bring out the phazon pool just to murder its boring phase.
I don't know...I would say this game is amazing but not for the bossfights.
I mean, the concepts are all cool but my issue is that they take so. freaking. long. to beat!
The Metroid Prime is the worst to me. Yes I'm bad at playing, but I've watched videos and even the skilled ones still take 10 minutes just for the first phase and I can't stand it, because you're basically doing the same thing for 10 minutes.
Same goes for Ridley. It drags that first, easy as hell phase for an eternity and then eats you alive in the second, which is cool...but did I really have to wait 20 minutes for him to come down?
Here's why the Omega Pirate is the best to me. You can make him last forever, or you can use a power bomb, and after that it becomes much easier and faster.
Your you can bet him wilde waering thrmelvisotsis
Am I the only one who finds Meta Ridley disspontinly easy?
So if you think it's easy now then you should play the GameCube version. GameCube version is a lot easier because he has less moves.Metroid Prime Remastered he's a lot more difficult because he now does a stomp that's not in the GameCube version.
I can’t defeat the omega pirate! I just can’t! I tried it for a week now and I am tired of that!
A trick that I learned to make it easier is to power bomb him to break his armor
if you pull off a double bomb jump, you can even destroy his shoulder pads with one i think. way easier said than done, though
Ok guys! So if I put a powerbomb in the right height he will lose his amour fast!? I’ll try! Thanks!
The real problem is that he hits me twice an I am dead and he got a lot of life!
@@felixgebers3038 yep, good luck amigo 👍🏻
This is a cool boy game 😎 it would ruin my bad boy complexion if the main character turned out to be a girl
Hate me all ya want but Meta Ridley was the most fun boss in the game the rest are annoying or meh. I'm sorry the omega pirate was irritating for me took me a long time to kick his ass but Ridley was first try and he was fun.
I actually found him a lot more easier maybe because I am a veteran at this game.
Flaahgra is my favorite boss in Prime 1. Others were mid or boring.
Most boring ass game I've ever played
Now do echoes
