The Six Million Dollar Bird

SilverWind · 06-23-2005, 02:26 AM

To be accurate, more like Dragon, but Bird has a funnier ring to it.

But by my count, Ridley has been rebuilt more than that. Once after Metroid/ZM for Prime, twice for after Prime for Super, thrice for after Super for... well, no, the one in Fusion doesn't really count.

I do hope we see more of him, though. I always love the Ridley fight.

But Metroid and Zero Mission are different games.

He's got you there.

Ridley the I - Died in ZM
Ridley the Metallic - Died in ZM
Ridley the II - Died in MP
Ridley the III - Died in SM
Ridley the Zombie - Was briefly revived and killed in MF

Oh. And...

Ridley the Small - Died in the original Metroid (not ZM). Was not a real Ridley because he was too small.

wow, six diffent revivals...sorta...

thunt · 06-23-2005, 02:02 PM

It's time for Ridley Jr.

Lord_Zack · 06-23-2005, 02:35 PM

Or no more Ridleys being after SM. Honestly they need at the vary least to get away from the same storylines. I think they need to show Samus actually Bounty Hunting.

Alucard · 06-23-2005, 04:59 PM

isn't that what MP: Hunters will be for?

I aggree that Ridley should not be rebuilt, resurected or otherwise brought back to life...IMHO, I think Samus takes too much fun out of killing him...repeatedly...

SilverWind · 06-23-2005, 05:55 PM

Well, if you go by the official Metroid e-manga, Ridley did kill her mother and led the assault that destroyed her colony and family... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ridley Jr. in Metroid, though? Don't you mean Kraid Jr. (ala the fake? [img]redface.gif[/img] ).

thunt · 06-24-2005, 10:12 AM

Nonono. Ridley's son.
It's the exact same boss, but they explained it away since they couldn't rebuild him.
Again.
And again.

I haven't read the E-Manga...If you would be so kind as to post a link to it, I would be happy...

Seriously though, how many times can the Space pirates be destroyed? (nice to see some Serious conversation going on)

***Cosmonautical*** · 06-24-2005, 01:13 PM

There are too many of them for them all to be destroyed in one fell swoop. And as far as Ridley goes, I've just assumed they've got clones on hand. Imagine fighting two at once. Now that would be something.

Masamune · 06-24-2005, 01:59 PM

Stupid Space Pirates aren't smart enough to make you fight two at once.

Alucard · 06-24-2005, 08:30 PM

that would be evil...Let's hack a game to make you fight two Ridleys!!!

***Cosmonautical*** · 06-24-2005, 09:14 PM

It's already in the works.
