NJF Plays Metroid Prime

Genre: First-Person Adventure

Released on the Nintendo Gamecube in 2002

Developed by Retro Studios

 

Description:

 

Metroid Prime is a 2002 First-Person Adventure game developed by Retro Studios for the Nintendo Gamecube released in 2002. Metroid Prime the first of the three-part Prime storyline, which takes place between the original Metroid and Metroid II: Return of Samus. Like previous games in the series, Metroid Prime has a science fiction setting in which players control the bounty hunter Samus Aran. The story follows Samus as she battles the Space Pirates and their biological experiments on the planet Tallon IV.

To be honest, I wasn't too hyped for this game when they made the announcement mainly because of the first-person shooter (adventure) aspect. I felt it was something that didn't belong to the Metroid series. At the time, I was debating between getting Metroid Prime or Phantasy Star Online which was also being hyped during the time. I was more interested in playing an RPG game because of my love for games such as Final Fantasy, and I was interested in trying a brand new title. It was a difficult decision, but due to brand loyalty, I eventually went with Metroid Prime. Also, wasn't Phantasy Star online never released on the Gamecube after??? Either way, I made the best decision because this game literally blew me away! Any level of doubt I had for this game simply just went away and I suddenly found myself a new addiction. I was absolutely in love with this game, and today it still remains to be my favorite Metroid Game of all time and my favorite Gamecube game and my favorite game from the 6th console generation. I cannot express how much I truly love this game!

 

 

Streams & LP Information:

 

Right now at the moment, I am not streaming this game. The entire playthrough has already been streamed and recorded. But I'll soon be moving to the harder difficulty. I forget the name of it. Hardcore? Either way, I'll be playing this on Hardcore mode around the same time I'll be playing Ninja Gaiden Black on Master Ninja mode... I think I just like punishing myself or something. Either way, I'll be uploading a video every 2 days since I'll be going back and forward between this game and Ninja Gaiden when it comes to sharing the videos. I will announce in this topic some time when I am going to start streaming this game in it's harder difficulty.

"So yeah, this game is.... marvelous! One of my favorite games of all time! I like this game more than I like Super Metroid! This game is wonderful! This game is so good! I can't express how much I love this game! This... this... this wonderful game! I'm going to be praising this game up for the rest of this stream! I'm not even going to be talking about anything else, I'm just going to say "this wonderful game" at least 3000 times! No.. lol" - NJF

 

(I seem to be very confused on whether or not I'm going to read scans or not. One minute I say I won't be reading scans, then for the rest of the game I'm reading nearly every scan... Well, the necessary ones at least... lol!)

 

"Look at that beautiful beast! lol" - NJF

 

Samus tracks an unidentified distress beacon to a derelict space vessel in orbit above Tallon IV. This space vessel turns out to be a Space Pirate Frigate named Orpheon, where experiments involving mutation are involved. Apparently an experimental specimen got out of hand and created chaos and destruction within the Frigate. Samus fights his way through the remaining injured pirates who considers Samus a major enemy and a threat after the incident on Planet Zebes. Samus ends up fighting and destroying the experimental specimen who is revealed to be the Parasite Queen. After destroying the Parasite Queen, Samus evacuates, only to discover a reborn Ridley in a new robotic exoskeleton. Samus chases Ridley to Tallon IV, but loses him. Samus, now in Tallon overworld, heads for Chozo Ruins to find clues that will lead her to her arch nemesis and learn more about this mysterious planet.

(Defeats Thardus in style!)

 

Samus escapes the Space Pirate Research Facility now equipped with Super Bombs and a Thermal Visor. She uses her new abilities to reach a room filled with rocks.

However, Samus is able to reveal the Phazon peices within the the essential stone pieces of Thardus and destroy all the Phazon that gives this creature life.

NJF Plays Metroid Prime (11 - Getting the Ice Beam part 1)

(Duration 18:20)

 

Description:

 

"For what other creature other than Samus would this technology be good for? Exactly who was this technology built for? Ha.. The door has been granted, Fantastic! Now... You're going through a lava path that's cooled to go to the other end where there is a computer who ha... I guess you'll need technology to scan... You get that puzzle? You go in there, scan something, come back there, scan something, come back there, scan something, all while you are in a morph ball with a time limit. Who on earth was this technology built for other than Samus herself? Jeeze, The fuckin' Mole People or wha?! I dunno" - NJF

 

Now that Tharus is defeated, and the Space Pirate forces dominating the Phendrana Drift crippled, Samus has eliminated the threats to this region of Tallon IV. Samus returns to Magmoor Caverns which serves as a shortcut back to Chozo Ruins where Samus will eventually find the Ice Beam as indicated by her suit's readings.

"Samus bowl included in Metroid Prime in 2002 for the Gamecube! Do not miss this game.. for Samus bowling!" - NJF

 

Exploring the deeper chambers of Chozo Ruins, Samus finds the new upgrade she was seeking. The Ice Beam has the ability to freeze enemies in their place and has since throughout her lifetime been effective against Metroids. Samus will surely put this beam to great use in this quest.
