On March 19th, 26 years ago, Super Metroid was released. I am going to play this for the bazillionth time today, and just vanilla. Playing as well? Any romhack, or another game in the series perhaps?

I'm doing my first (complete) playthrough at the moment, only the final boss is left. What a fantastic game!

Call me when people stop using non-sequitur titles on fan remakes so it doesn't seem like a half assed attempt.

I have only played Super once, I could play it again. I just don't care for its movement nearly as much as Zero Mission, feels very slow.

This, if he named it something cool I'd play it, but the name is uncool so the game is shit. Obviously half assed.

What are some good romhacks? I've played through Redesign, Hyper, and one other that I forgot the name of. Item randomization or anything with that RETARDED Prime-style gate hunting need not apply!

It's incredible how a game can hold up so well for this long. I wouldn't call it flawless, but even today this game is really fucking good. I wonder if any games from 2020 will still be as good 26 years from now.

Yeah, they're a pretty easy fix, although the batteries themselves (at least the pre-assembled ones) can be a little expensive.

for Metroid on the NES:
Metroid+Saving - adds saving, a map, and lets you stack the wave and ice beams
Rogue dawn - you've probably seen this a few times. A prequel fanfic hack that's actually pretty good. Includes all the amenities of +Saving so no need to stack patches

Very easily. CR2032 sockets fit in the cartridge without issue, so you don't need to buy tabbed batteries. Just those almost-free CR2032 sockets, and some CR2032 cells. I've found the cheapest once have to be surface mounted instead of putting the tabs through the slots in the PCB, due to differences in distance between the tabs. Either way, makes the game live for another couple decades, and much easier for the next battery replacement.

Be advised, the brown CR2032 socket in the picture has brittle tabs, and one nearly broke off, trying to straighten it out, slowly. If I slammed the cartridge like a retard, it might break off and need to be replaced, but I'm not going to do that.
Lamentably, these sockets are too tall to fit on top of the board of an NES cart. I had to run wires from the board to the socket, which I left basically hanging in the empty space of the cart.

I think that Super Metroid is a good game, but not one of the best of all time. All the sounds/music sound like they're played through a pillow, Maridia is always a fucking nightmare to get through, and there's a lot of little things that stack up that will come back to me when I play through it again. I would prefer Fusion or Zero Mission over Super, although it does nail the atmosphere perfectly.

I can't bring myself to play it since it would just make me jealous/depressed that one guy can make an entire game like that and here I am sitting and playing vidya doing nothing with my life. I'm working on a Metroidvania now but progress is slow and I'm still in the "I'll make the logo" phase where I'm avoiding actual work.

The thing with Super Metroid is that it can make me forget about the profress I'm making. It has an intriguing atmosphere and world, so I don't really get annoyed by hitting a dead end while exploring.
If you play on an emulator you can disable the echo/reverb on the sound most of the time, it makes Super Metroid sound a lot clearer.

>Hyper Metroid
Pretty much perfect. Excelent physics, gorgeous map, and overall fun just to fuck around with the speed booster.I loved playing it although the escape sequence is excellent, it can go fuck itself. I was shitting myself the whole way
As for recommendations, I add:
>Rogue Dawn
Excelent NES Metroid Romhack. One of the games i've enjoyed the most recently. It's soundtrack is also pretty good
>Super Metroid Ascent
Technically genius, with a lot of stuff that I haven't seen anywhere else. Puzzles are quite fun, but I think that after getting the Speed Booster they start getting too convoluted. Still worth a play, even if it's just to see what romhacks are capable of.

I'm playing through Rogue Dawn right now since someone else recommended it earlier and it's pretty fun but the story is super S T U P I D and the NES controls, sounds, and graphics are like wowgross get this ugly away from me. I can't even believe people ever used to get used to this or G*d forbid prefer it!
I haven't heard of Ascent but maybe I'll try it next though if it's heavily puzzle based I can't imagine it's all that kino

Some of the palette shifts weren't very good, I'll agree with you there. As someone who makes a point to play and finish Super Metroid at least once a year I loved Hyper from start to finish. It was incredibly hard, but not too hard - maybe I just got lucky (or unlucky) with every boss fight, but every last one of them had me down to my last E-tank and out of weapons. I felt like I earned every single victory I got from that game. The final escape was also fucking awesome.

I beat it! It only got AWFULER the longe rI played. Some items were hidden in really obtuse locations and a few times I didn't even know what I picked up or what it did, I glitched through walls multiple times on accident and had to kill myself or reset and even skipped the final boss like this, the controls and limitations were complete booty, I HATED the map wrapping around itself and teleporting me all over the place and that the game tricked you into no-return points so often, and I got stuck for roughly an hour simply because the graphics were so garbage I couldn't tell a door changed color to show it was breakable with missiles

I tried out Super Metroid Ascent for a few hour! Itw as really weird and honestly didn't even really feel like a metroid title because of the CRINGE tile names, point of no returns, warp zones, and strange item progression. It was technically very pretty and I quickly made it about halfway through zone 2 (of 4?) but I don't know if I'll continue since a lot of the difficulty was in dumb puzzles and the exploration was pretty lame
