Metroid Zero Mission

[ChaoofNee]

So, is it known if there's an option to switch between normal graphics and OMG TEH KIDDIE yet? I actually kinda liked the old SD screenshots.

'whimp'? i can't even tell if that's british or something.. wimp.

and hell yea i'm getting this game.. and yes, i drew a map for metroid 2.. damn good game.

I love Metroid 2, I've been playing it in anticipation. If you play it on the SP, you can add color even though it's a regular GB title. The default scheme actually has the right color scheme for her suit (red and yellow), I thought that was a pretty neat coincidence.

That's not a coincidence. It was designed for the Super Gameboy as well, and the GBC and GBA color schemes for old GB games match the Super GB color schemes.

Actually no, the Super GameBoy and GBC + GBA use completely different colour systems. And Metroid II wasn't designed for the SGB because it predates it by about 3 year; it's actually that the SGB was designed to detect Metroid II.

Anyway, Metroid II on SGB has 4 colours, aqua (black) red (dark grey), yellow (light grey) and white (black). On GBC + GBA it has 8 colours, the background is shades of blue; while sprites are Red, Yellow, White and Black.

The GBA + GBC are preprogrammed to detect practically all 1st party and most common 3rd party games; giving them suitable colors.

Allrighty... well never mind me then.

Wow, that's awesome.

Talk about going the extra mile.

Normally, I'd agree with that except Metroid II was supposed to be a portable game...
Maybe some people did have fun carrying around (handdrawn) maps (& pen) along with GB, but I sure didn't want to do that back then.

It wasn't very portable, though... you couldn't really save all that often, and the Fat Boy was huge. I only really played it under my desk lamp

I hated doing my own maps. Seemed like no matter where I started, I always would end up drawing the map off the page.

Hahaha, yeah, me too. Then I'd start over on another sheet.

Making maps was for wimps. I memorized the original.

I definitely had it memorized by the end, but I wanted to keep track of all the missile upgrades, weapon locations, and energy tanks so I could compare what I had found with my friends.

It was so different back then...

[Korly]

I can understand that...I'm one lucky bastard.

I'm not sure if Nintendo has publicized this yet, but MZM does link to Metroid Fusion to access 'exclusive content.'

The 'content' isn't that terribly exciting, really, but hey, it's something.

I'm gonna assume he's talking about the art gallery you get from linking Fusion and Zero Mission.

[Chux]

Yeah and if it is, I don't care about it. Nothing like lookin at little pictures on my gameboy.

if you have the player you can look at them big on your screen
