...haven't i seen this before ???
« on: December 20, 2007, 08:00:46 pm »
In another thread someone asked what that shelly black thing in the farest south west of the veil (that one you can't kill) is...
I think... well... I saw it somewhere before... at least somehing that MOVED just liked it and had vermy simillar shape...


and then I thought... jep... it reminds of this

and the statue in the erngy temple that holds the pearl... didn't they remind you
of ...... this   ????

Or the creatures that jump from wall to wall... did nobody think of this
when he/she saw them for the first time ?

Or the enemys in mithalas that ... shid (?) these red dots out of theire... whatever they have down there
didn't they remind you (only a bit) of this ?

I allready started to wonder that nobody opened a thread "thinks that reminded you of metroid"
...so now I'm doing it ^^

so - did anyone find other allusions ?

(btw - I think nobody mentioned it before, but did you know that when you hold down the left mouse button in the main menu, the little fishis start to swim faster and circle wider around the cursor ? no ? now you do)

greetz, Eric

An even better candidate for those would be the spiny enemies in the kelp forest.

There is also a similar looking boss in Blaster Master (also featured on the cover of the game).  Metroid does predate Blaster Master by about 2 years though.

No, and no.  But now I'm sure that I will be looking.


On a side note, most videogame enemies are based around real life creatures, so it's not to surprising...  Definitely shows where some of the inspiration may have came from though (aside from actual sea life of course.)
