haha the same thing happend to me when 1st played punchout lol now only if i rember how to beat the sand man lol
How is Metroid that hard? I mean some parts ARE really hard, but after that it gest easier. I havn't played it yet. Could one of you or anyone tell me the hard points?Maskedboy
every damn thing..lol
Metroid has always been notorious for having one or two parts that are super cheap and hard as hell. That has been consistent with every game in the series. But I don't think the games, as a whole, could be considered hard.
On a related note, I remember buying the zelda anniversary collection for GC, and the original Zelda (and the second as well) was killer tough. Either games have gotten much much easier or I've grown soft in my old age. I'm betting on the easier thing.
yea same....so far in metroid i got the varia suit, high boots(i think thats wat their called),and the wave beam....all i really need 2 do now is find ridley andmother brain.....also i have tobeat kraid andi'll b goodneo111222333
I've tried fighting Kraid once in that game. It seemed nearly impossible. If you find a good way to beat him tell me. Kraid is one hard whatever he is.

yea ur right.....i cant believe i was able to finish these old hard ass games when i was like 8 lol.....but the good thing about old games are they're fun and piss u off making u want to beat a level which gives it much replay value

well i have 2 ways that'll give u a chance even though i didnt beat him.....for one thing get the freeze beam and freeze the boomerang things he throw then light him up with the rockets....or u can do the second way which is turning into a ball and jus stayin close to him and bombin him...but for that one u goin need at least 2 energy shields
[QUOTE="neo111222333"]lol i didnt say i beat him yet....those are so far the only things i can do to get a lot of hits offMaskedboy
Oh lol. Well when I get to him after beating Kid Icarus i'll try to do my best to beat him.
coo....this thread just inspired me to try to beat kraid....lol...brb (runs to wii)
When I was a kid I beat metroid. Now for some reason I cant get through this one part. I haven't even gotten to kraid yet. I think that games were harder when I was kid, and now I've gotten soft.
One thing I dont like about the original metroid is how hard it is to get your energy up to full. Staying by a single infinite flow baddie to push it up 5 at a time.

i think that Metroid is harder for some reason...maybe because I only ever played the Prime games and zero mission...
lol i keep getting owned when i play Donkey Kong Country... :)Haziqonfire
Yeah, that game got me going as well and that's actually one of the easier retro games. I actually beat that one.
Some of these games are crazy hard though.
Retro games are generally harder. They offered a challenge. Todays games offer an experience.Raiko101And games like the Metroids Prime, Viewtiful Joe, and Ninja Gaiden offer both.

Although i've heard they're meant to be hard. But Viewtiful Joe wasn't a hard or challenging game. Very retro like, but not all that hard. Metroid Prime isn't hard either. It's challenging, yes. But not challenging in the ways older games were. Anyway, I sound like i'm moaning. Which i'm not. It's just games of the yesteryear were, and still are harder than the vast majority of todays games. That's why most of them got away with being so damn short lol.
