Super Metroid
is an action-adventure game developed by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. It is the third installment in the ''Metroid'' series, following the events of the Game Boy game '' Metroid II: Return of Samus'' (1991). Players control bounty hunter Samus Aran, who travels to planet Zebes to retrieve an infant Metroid creature stolen by the Space Pirate leader Ridley. Following the established gameplay model of its predecessors, ''Super Metroid'' focuses on exploration, with the player searching for power-ups used to reach previously inaccessible areas. It introduced new concepts to the series, such as the inventory screen, an automap, and the ability to fire in all directions. The development staff from previous ''Metroid'' games—including Yoshio Sakamoto, Makoto Kano and Gunpei Yokoi—returned to develop ''Super Metroid'' over the course of two years. The developers wanted to make a true action game, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Metroid (creature)
The are a fictional alien organism and antagonists in the ''Metroid'' video game series. Within the lore of the series, their life cycle involves several distinct metamorphoses, but they are most commonly encountered in (and among players, most frequently recognized by) their larval form, in which they resemble a floating, jellyfish-like organism with tripartite or quadripartite nuclei. Metroids are capable of siphoning an undetectable life energy from any life form, generally causing the death of the victim in the process. This energy can also be extracted from the Metroid in turn, allowing it to be used as a living power source. Though Metroids are often described as parasites, their nature of aggressively devouring all lifeforms more closely resembles that of a predator. Characteristics Metroids are throughout the series shown to be highly adaptive to outside stimuli. The original ''Metroid'' established that exposure to beta rays would cause Metroids to multiply very quick ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2D Computer Graphics
2D computer graphics is the computer-based generation of digital images—mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them. It may refer to the branch of computer science that comprises such techniques or to the models themselves. 2D computer graphics are mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional printing and drawing technologies, such as typography, cartography, technical drawing, advertising, etc. In those applications, the two-dimensional image is not just a representation of a real-world object, but an independent artifact with added semantic value; two-dimensional models are therefore preferred, because they give more direct control of the image than 3D computer graphics (whose approach is more akin to photography than to typography). In many domains, such as desktop publishing, engineering, and business, a description of a document based on 2D computer grap ...

Metroid Prime
''Metroid Prime'' is an action-adventure video game developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the GameCube. ''Metroid Prime'' is the fifth main installment in the '' Metroid'' franchise and the first game in the series to use 3D computer graphics and a first-person perspective. Since exploration takes precedence over combat, Nintendo classifies the game as a "first-person adventure" rather than a first-person shooter. It was released in North America in November 2002, and in Japan and Europe the following year. One day before its North American release, Nintendo released the Game Boy Advance game ''Metroid Fusion'', marking the return of the ''Metroid'' series after an eight-year hiatus following ''Super Metroid'' (1994). ''Metroid Prime'' is the first game in the ''Metroid Prime'' saga, 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 whic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Players control the bounty hunter Samus Aran, who investigates a space station infected with shapeshifting parasites known as X. Like previous ''Metroid'' games, ''Fusion'' is a side-scrolling game with platform game, platform jumping, shooting, and puzzle elements, but introduces mission-based progression that guides the player through certain areas. It was released the day before the GameCube game ''Metroid Prime'' in North America; both games can be linked using the GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable to unlock additional content for ''Prime''. ''Fusion'' was acclaimed for its gameplay, controls, graphics and music, though its shorter length and greater linearity received some criticism. It received several awards, including Handheld Game of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Speedrun
Speedrunning is the act of playing a video game, or section of a video game, with the goal of completing it as fast as possible. Speedrunning often involves following planned routes, which may incorporate sequence breaking and can exploit glitches that allow sections to be skipped or completed more quickly than intended. Tool-assisted speedrunning is a sub-category of speedrunning that uses emulation software to slow the game down and create a precisely controlled sequence of inputs. Many online communities develop around speedrunning specific games; community leaderboard rankings for individual games form the primary competitive metric for speedrunning. Racing between two or more speedrunners is also a popular form of competition. Videos and livestreams of speedruns are shared via the internet on media sites such as YouTube and Twitch. Speedruns are sometimes showcased at marathon events, which are gaming conventions that feature multiple people performing speedruns in a vari ...

Indie Games
An indie game, short for independent video game, is a video game typically created by individuals or smaller development teams without the financial and technical support of a large game publisher, in contrast to most "AAA" (triple-A) games. However, the "indie" term may apply to other scenarios where the development of the game has some measure of independence from a publisher even if a publisher helps fund and distribute a game, such as creative freedom. Because of their independence and freedom to develop, indie games often focus on innovation, experimental gameplay, and taking risks not usually afforded in AAA games, and may explore the medium to produce unique experiences in art games. Indie games tend to be sold through digital distribution channels rather than at retail due to lack of publisher support. The term is synonymous with that of independent music or independent film in those respective mediums. Indie game development bore out from the same concepts of amateur ...

Metroidvania
Metroidvania is a sub-genre of platform video games focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration and progression. The term is a portmanteau of the names of the video game series '' Metroid'' and ''Castlevania'', with games in the genre borrowing from both series. Typically based on two-dimensional, sidescrolling platform gameplay, Metroidvania games feature a large interconnected world map the player can explore, although parts of the world will be inaccessible to the player until they acquire special items, tools, weapons, abilities, or knowledge within the game. Acquiring such improvements can also aid the player in defeating more difficult enemies and locating shortcuts and secret areas, and often includes retracing one's steps across the map. Through this, Metroidvania games include tighter integration of story and level design, careful design of levels and character controls to encourage exploration and experimentation, and a means for the player to become mo ...

Symphony Of The Night
''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'' is an action role-playing game developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation.

Its design marks a break from previous entries in the series, re-introducing the exploration, nonlinear level design, and role-playing elements first experimented with in '' Castlevania II: Simon's Quest''. ''Symphony of the Night'' initially sold poorly. However, it gradually gained sales through word-of-mouth and became a sleeper hit, developing a cult following and selling over 700,000 units in the United States and Japan. The game garnered widespread accla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
