43) The badass feeling you get when you brag to noobs that you can wall jump with extreme ease.

42) The badass feeling you get when you tell people the freaking controller was broken.

*storms off*

Slife · 12-15-2006, 03:00 PM

41) You can use your feet to play. I mean you don't use your feet to play. Can you imagine trying to aim your toe in the right direction? Impossible!

Valigarmander · 12-15-2006, 04:17 PM

40) It's freaking Metroid.

Leinad · 12-15-2006, 04:41 PM

39. A brain in a jar as the final boss; who could resist that?

Valigarmander · 12-15-2006, 04:47 PM

38) "Yay, I finally killed the Mother Brain. I have beaten the game!"

"What-a teh heck?"

"ZOMG IT HAS LEGS!"

Bomby · 12-15-2006, 05:44 PM

37. You can recite Samuel L. Jackson's dialogue from Pulp Fiction before you shoot Mother Brain.

"AND YOU WILL KNOW MY NAME IS SAMUS WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON THEE!"

Valigarmander · 12-15-2006, 06:02 PM

36) Etecoons and dachoras. Whatever the hell they are.

DELICIOUS POISON · 12-17-2006, 10:06 PM

35. Samus's ship in this game has some serious attitude. It kicks all the other ships they've ever stuck her with in the balls, and then removes said balls for use in a table tennis match with god.

Valigarmander · 12-18-2006, 12:36 AM

34) You... find stuff. Yeah. Like Morph Balls and Power Beams. Yeah.

Maximum Spider · 12-18-2006, 06:58 AM

33.getting almost all of your life sucked out by the now huge as crap larva, then healing yourself completely later.

Slife · 12-19-2006, 10:11 PM

32: ZOMG teh brainz wit legz R inveencible!Z

Valigarmander · 12-19-2006, 10:57 PM

31) They didn't make it into a Christmas Special.

Benj1989 · 12-24-2006, 11:03 PM

I agree

Valigarmander · 12-25-2006, 01:12 AM

30) Introduction cinematics? Ritzy.

Slife · 12-26-2006, 11:23 PM

29) Almost no dialog. That means that there's no chance for the translators to upscrew and the text upmess. So you don't have to try to figure out what Samus is saying.

Valigarmander · 12-27-2006, 12:06 AM

28) Metroids that SUCK YOUR BLOOD!

Or life energy, or whatever the hell it is.

zepatient · 01-03-2007, 03:42 PM

27) Losing ALL you power ups and getting said power ups playing the whole game just to lose them again in the next game.

Valigarmander · 01-03-2007, 07:42 PM

26) You can use the grapple beam like a nunchuck!

No, wait...

***Ace Mercury*** · 01-03-2007, 07:45 PM

25) With Samus, those Space Pirates don't stand a ghost of a chance.
