[edit] Going to upload scanned box art...

I'm going to scan my box of Metroid Fusion, since the article seems to be missing one. (Cipher Destiny 15:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Developer?

Do we know for sure Intelligent Systems developed Metroid Fusion? All the info I've found says "developed by Nintendo." I know Intelligent Systems is part of Nintendo, but it seems that IS, unlike EAD, like to have their name in the games they make.

---

pretend you dont know anything about videogames. then read the first sentence of this article. sounds odd? well, i think it does. please consider rewriting some of it so that people who are not familiar with 'platform' 'gameboy', etc, can have an idea what is going on here. thank you.

I've added in "video game", but I'm afraid that's all I can think of. Have you any more specific suggestions? Anyone who wants to learn about Game Boys or video games can just click those wikilinks, you know. –Andre (talk) 00:41, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I added in fourth game in the series and first GBA...

[edit] Merge from SA-X

The VfD on SA-X decided to merge it here. I'm putting the text in the talk page, in the hope that someone else will add whatever is appropriate to the article itself.

The SA-X is an X parasite that infested Samus Aran's Power Suit (see Samus Aran and Metroid Fusion) and the beginning of Metroid Fusion for Game Boy Advanced, and was then surgically removed. The rest of the X parasites were then destroyed by a Metroid vaccine and the infected Power Suit was sent to a B.S.L. (Biologic Space Labs) Space Station. But soon after Samus awoke, she found out that a myserious explosion had occured at the station, in the Quarentine Bay. ***Warning: game spoilers ahead*** After Samus investigated, she found out the SA-X was responsbile for the explosion. The SA-X's main weapon is the Ice Beam, which hurts Samus massively and can kill her. The SA-X also uses Power Bombs and Super Missiles, which he destroys doors with. But finally, the SA-X is destroyed, along with the Omega Metroid (see Omega Metroid), and Samus escapes on her ship.

The SA-X in all is a clone of Samus (its name means 'Samus Aran - X) and is trying to make the X parasites spread across the galaxy to end galctic civilization.

Actually, can you think of anybody who doesn't now what a Gameboy is?--Skullhuntr--71.145.162.231 17:04, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I can. I know somebody apparently on the hrwiki who never even heard of a green mushroom being a 1-Up. In closing, I'm not creating an account.

• Um...Actually, one NORMALLY would think of green mushrooms as meaning death. Skullhuntr71.145.208.158 22:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed image

This image seemed to be a bit too big of a spoiler for this article. I'll make a new, nonspoilerific, screenshot in short order. -- Bobdoe (Talk) 02:23, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well, I think there is a spoiler warning there so it may be alright.--Zxcvbnm 03:10, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Still, it's the last boss of the game! Surely one of the earlier bosses would demonstrate the gameplay just as well. -- Bobdoe (Talk) 04:01, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I wonder if that image might be good over at the Metroid (video game species) article, though. Just the same, yeah; an earlier boss would be better for this article. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 07:59, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

It probably would illustrate that article well. -- Bobdoe (Talk) 19:28, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Why not put in a picture of that awful Spider guy? The one you get Space Jump from? Or a picture of getting chased by the SA-X. Like after you beat the spider. --RedZ--

I've added a new boss image: one of the X shell things. It seems fairly appropriate for the paragraph on equipment. -- Bobdoe (Talk) 19:28, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes, that is good also, i like it. It would be cool to have the Nightmare in there though =) but no complaints--Zxcvbnm 19:48, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Looks good to me. And they're called either "Core X" or "Core-X". :) --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 22:34, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

Lol I fixed the caption before you posted that =)--Zxcvbnm 22:48, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] new links

What is metroid fusion doing in IMDB????--Zxcvbnm 14:04, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The IMDb lists a lot of video games, though not at the quality most of us would like. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 10:03, 2005 July 30 (UTC)

[edit] Easter Egg for Metroid Fusion

[Metroid Easte] some fool, came up with this cool stuff...

It is a picture, of a Air Purifer, in Metroid Fusion (DUH!)

At the top Left of it, shows a mini picture of the Gamecube,,, the colour matchs the green Air Pruifer,

If the person thinks, it looks like what he/she thinks...it is not

Because it shows the black section in the middle of the console, just like the console

• • The middle white section (for putting the controllers in
  • and the Hanld at the back...all this can be found on the Air Purifer

This can be added to the article, but the problem is...we don't know any other Trivia/Easter Eggs:P >x<ino 01:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

There is another easter egg, which was mentioned in the article until someone removed it on November 11. Fredrik | tc 06:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

If there is another, then we can find more, and i will put up the Easter Egg, from that fool that removed it:P >x<ino 10:02, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Are you sure, there was an Easter Egg!? >x<ino

Yeah, I saw it too. That has gotta be delibrate. Dang! Those marketing folk have us every way we turn!--ICan'tSpell--71.145.162.231 17:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

If you guys are looking for easter eggs why don't you include the shinespark one? It's Mentioned on the Metroid series page but not here, I wonder why... - Mit  kebes  ^T  04:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Only one sequence break?

I thought there was definitley more than one. For example, one Energy tank in the fire sector is in a secret room that is three blocks high. The only way to get to the Energy Tank is to use the Space Jump near the end of the game-unless you are proficient with the Shinespark. Maybe I am mistaken.

But isn't there a large period at the end where you can use tunnels to different sectors in order to grap the remaining tanks? The sequence says you should go straight to the main sector.

Many parts have alternate paths. For example, in the SAX encounter after the Power Bomb, you have two options. One is to jump behind the pillar, then wait for SAX to start walking away, then plant a Power Bomb. Then you quickly jump into the upper tunnel and run quickly into the next room. The other option is to ball jump and plant a regular bomb at about the top of your jump. Then cntinue this process until you reach the end.

I thought a few other sequnce breaks, but I can't recall them. I have a launchday copy of Fusion, I should try that Ice Missile thing. But won't that make me permanently unable to get Diffusion Missiles?

[edit] First Sentence

What does this " billion divide by seven" thing mean?

[edit] Critical acclaim

Okay, Super Metroid got critical acclaim. Well, why don't you say that Fusion did too? IGN gave it a 9.7 and GameInformer gave it a solid 10. That, my friends, is critical acclaim. If you don't believe me, go play it.--RedZion--71.145.162.231 17:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Super Metroid was considered better than Fusion and one of the best games of all time (see article)--Zxcvbnm 01:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• I never said that Super wasn't good--In fact, it's possibly one of the best I've played in my entire life. I'm just saying that Fusion was really awesome. It wasn't 'True' Metroid, but it had that nice twist that made it really stand out. --RedZion--71.145.151.142 01:52, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't care...this game is sick:P

>x<ino 06:59, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• The only thing sick about it is when Samus dies.--RedZion-- 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if you said sick in bad context, but it looks like it. Anyway, when she dies it isn't sick, it's simply different than other games. I don't care what other people think. Super Metroid WAS awesome, but not very big on replay value. Plus, you couldn't go to different environments like in Fusion (I think) and besides, Fusion has a great cinematic kind of quality that I and a lot of other people REALLY like. Start thinking rationally, or post comments on something else.

I never said that I didn't LIKE fusion *slaps forehead*. If I had to rate Fusion I'd probably give it a perfect 10. And yes, I have to agree with that cinematic quality thing you were talking about--the game has a sort of flair that none of the others manage to replicate, except maybe Prime 2. I just mean that the ending animation is, in my opinion, unneeded. Not bad, but unneeded. I was just annoyed because I'm used to a plain old 'game over' screen with discordant death music. Oh, and in Super Metroid you COULD go to other environments, actually. Meridia, for one (The music the Lower Sector 4 AQA in Fusion is a remix of the Meridia tune), and of course Brinstar (caverns), a ruined spaceship (metal), Norfair (Lava), and some other stuff too.--RedZion-- May 12 2006

[edit] Merge with Adam Malkovitch

I saw this at Adam's page and thought I would put down my vote for supporting the merger. NP Chilla 20:10, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why is sequence breaking being discussed in the opening parapgraphs?

Remove it. The opening paragraphs should describe the game not game exploits. Buzda 05:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, done. Recury 14:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect from Octolith

There was an article about the octoliths that was suggested for a merge to here. The info there seemed too detailed to fit well here, but if you want to try to salvage anything, it is in the history of that page. Recury 14:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Praise and criticism section

This section needs rewriting. Not a single source, and a lot of "fans", "widely considered", and "some people". If not fixable, remove altogether and just do a full rewrite.

[edit] Samus-Federation Connection Question

Where did the idea that Samus was formerly a member of the Federation Police come from? I have been hearing it a lot, but is there an official source referring to it?

[edit] Project Metroid IV

Is it just me or is there a lot of useless information in this article? I have decided to create a "project" to try and remove all the information/facts/opinions that do not belong in an Encyclopedia. (that's what wikipedia is, remember that) If you do not like my changes, please just don't go edit it and start a edit war, please post your concerns here. If your edits are small or are actually relative I'll probably let it go.

*Note: I'm not trying to "take over" this article, I just see it's in very poor shape and needs an update. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by -starter- (talk • contribs) 22:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Power Suit

I'm changing the claim that Samus regains her power suit after absorbing the SA-X, because this is simply not true. Her fusion suit gains the color scheme of the power suit, but they remain two distinctly different suits. See a screenshot of the Metroid Fusion ending here. --24.117.122.78 16:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boss List

Is a list of all the bosses in the game needed? I don't get why we need to have it...66.82.9.57 14:35, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
