Metroid Retrospective

[CronoTriggerfan]

Remember when Twilight Princess came out, and ScrewAttack made that Zelda Retrospective? Well, with the release of Prime 3, they've done it again, this time with Metroid. Watch it here. It's pretty interesting, and a good compilation/memory refresher if you're just picking up the new game. I'm on number 4 right now, hope you guys like it.

Hey! That's my old avatar I stole from some guy! I must say, it's the best metroid fanart on the internet.

Too bad the guy can't pronounce the names right. Makes me doubt his credibility. Samus "erin"? Zeebs? It's ARAN AND ZEBES. SAY IT LIKE THAT! Some poeple! ZEE-BEES. A-RAN.

Anyways, a metroid movie? Neato!

ha, I always said "zebes"... thanks

idk, I might watch it later... I really dont like metroid though. I tried it. I like the old ones better than prime, I really like hunters though because of multiplayer.

It's been pronounced "erin" or "aaron" ever since I played the original ages ago... When did this change?

[lifeisbetterwithketchup]

It's pronounced "Erin"/"Aaron" in Metroid Prime 3. I haven't played 1 or 2 (although I should).

[teraflop122]

When did this change?

The fact of the matter is...no one cares how you say the names.




Except Kurt_. He is the only one in the world who cares.

[Kurt_]

I do care. And as much as I'm not sure of it, I'm firm in my beliefs. I left Ridley out because I'm still deciding which is right, officially. Ride-lee, or Rid-lee. I'm thinking Ridley because of how it's spelt, but Ridely flows better.

As for Aran and Zebes, it fits the way the other words are pronounced. Chozo is pronounced Choh-zoh, Not Chaw-zoh, So why wouldn't Zebes follow this pattern? You have to remember Japanese people made these names, and the pronunciation is different from the American way. Zeebees and Air-an. The doubling of one syllable makes it nicer on the ears.

But I have no way of knowing. Perhaps someone could call Nintendo?

Nsiders side with me. http://forums.nintendo.com/nintendo/boa ... .id=678448

I'm not alone in my quest for proper pronunciation!!!

[gannon]

If you read around, her name is サムス アラン, which is (basically) Saw Moose Ah Ron If you want authentic, watch the Japanese commercials for the games
Chozo is 鳥人族 which is like choujinzoku, which translates to the Birdmen Tribe IIRC.

[Valium]

Its always been Erin, Zeebs, and Rid-Lee for me, they just fit in my mind.

[Kurt_]

IT IS ARAN. Like gannon pointed out. As for the pronounciation of Samus, I say Sam-us. Although it's not SSB official pronounciation, it's damn close enough for me. Basically, gannon added the japanese stresses on the North American pronounciations of it. An "us" isn't pronounced "oos" over here, it's, well, "us".

Whatever. Just leave me to struggle with my self-denial.

[ganonbanned]

IT IS ARAN.

kind of like how in zelda ITS GANON not GANNON.

I heard some kid say Shamus Aron and I wanted to smack him. I think zeebs sounds better so thats how I pronounce it. If you want to hear goofy pronunciation get a spanish person to say xbox 360
