Chapter 236 It Turns Out that so Many People Like It (310)
Because of the foundation of the first part, players have begun to accept games with female protagonists. Those who like it really like it. For the first time, women look very powerful in the game. Even if it is only in the game, not in reality, it also satisfies the tastes of some people.
Especially in the first part, you can see different forms of Samus in different clearance times, and even a bikini version of Samus can be seen in the end.
This can also satisfy the sense of achievement of LSPs to a certain extent, making them willing to try challenges more times, and then they can experience the charm of the game itself more and more deeply in the repeated challenges.
It turns out that a game is not enough to play once. Some games are really worth studying and exploring several or dozens of times.
The subsequent speed pass challenge has added a wave of popularity to Metroid.
Then it came to the timeline of the second generation.
The name of the second generation game simply has no numbers, and is directly named Metroid: Return of Samus.
The name alone indicates that our protagonist will continue to fight, and returning has a feeling of a hero fighting again, which makes people want to know what happened in the game itself.
However, due to the limitation of the game console function of GB itself, it is only comparable to the performance of FC game console, so the gameplay itself is only more perfect, and not much content is added.
But because GB itself does not need to consider making a color version, it saves some resources, so the story itself is stretched a little, making the character arc of each character more complete, even the villain has some story introduction.
In the second generation of Samus, the scientific expedition team is preparing to explore the planet SR388, the background of the story of the first generation, and they obviously want to investigate more content related to Metroid.
It is obvious that the Galactic Federation also wants to master the power of Metroid.
However, the expedition team lost contact directly after entering the planet SR388.
Because of the experience of successfully defeating the interstellar pirates last time, the Galactic Federation once again hired Samus Alan, a female bounty hunter, to investigate SR388.
Of course, there is another foreshadowing, that is, the birdman, as an ancient race, is also secretly pushing to designate Samus as the main operator of the mission.
This is not a casual addition, but a preparation for the future, and it is also the most curious part for players. They are curious about why the ancient bird race would take special care of Samus.
And this secret was completely revealed in the second part.
It turns out that Samus was once raised by the bird race. She can be regarded as the spokesperson of the bird race to some extent, and can also use some ancient powers inherited by the bird race.
So apart from Samus, no one can take on Metroid-related tasks.
In Samus Returns, the protagonist came to the planet SR388 to save the scientific expedition team.
This time, players also knew for the first time that Metroid's form was not single, but diverse, which can better demonstrate the power of Metroid itself.
There are small insects, plankton and other creatures, and larger Zerg-like creatures, which are very diverse, and each Metroid also has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you attack the weaknesses well, you can solve Metroid faster, adding a certain amount of extra fun to the game itself.
After all the adventures, Samus eliminated the final boss, Queen Metroid, and a small Metroid cub appeared and came to Samus' side.
Samus wanted to eliminate this last hidden danger directly at that time.
But this Metroid was different. He was very intimate when he came to Samus, as if he regarded Samus as his mother.
This may be because Samus was raised by the birdmen. After all, Metroid was once a product created by the birdmen, so it was normal for the Metroid cub to feel close to Samus.
Samus also felt compassion at this time, and finally gave up eliminating the last Metroid cub and prepared to take it away with him.
But at this moment, the story suddenly changed again.
It turned out that the space pirates were not completely eliminated. A mechanical creature that looked like a pterosaur, a space pirate named Proteus Ridley, suddenly appeared, took the Metroid cub away from Samus, and wanted to kill Samus.
This sudden change shocked the players who first experienced it, but also surprised them.
This ups and downs of the storyline made them unable to stop, so they once again invested in the battle with Lidley.
Of course, Lidley was still very powerful at the beginning. In the end, relying on the unique energy absorption ability of Metroid Cub, he absorbed most of the energy in Lidley's body, and then fed it back to Samus, so that the power gap between the two sides gradually narrowed, and then Samus could crush Lidley, and finally successfully eliminated Lidley himself.
Samus finally completed the mission and left SR388 planet with the only remaining Metroid Cub, preparing to return to the Galactic Federation to report.
However, at the end, another animation appeared. In the animation, something called X virus infected the creatures on SR388 planet, causing SR388 planet to fall into chaos again. However, what will happen after this will obviously have to wait for the next game to reveal.
At the same time, after Samus returns to the Galactic Federation, what will happen to the Metroid cub she brought back is also a suspense, which makes countless players who have been addicted to the world of Metroid very eager to know.
However, more than a year has passed since the release of the GB version of Metroid: Samus Returns, and they have not waited for a new Metroid game.
In the past, series games like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy would have a new generation of products every six months to a year on average.
But Metroid made players wait for more than a year, and they already had a little resentment, so they began to post frantically asking for the game to be released.
They don't ask for the game to be groundbreaking, as long as the story is told well.
In fact, not only on the website, now Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Head Office receives at least two or three letters every day from players asking for a sequel to Metroid.
However, Takeyusei was indeed a little too busy before, and he was a little bit overwhelmed. It was not until he saw this post that he remembered it.
Looking at the post, Takeyusei murmured to himself, "So Metroid is so popular? This is a bit surprising. Even though it was very popular in the past, it didn't have a big breakthrough in sales. I thought there weren't many people interested in it."
