Talk:Metroid series

Seeing as this page is primarily a guide to the Metroid series, and links to a specific page about Super Metroid, perhaps this page should be renamed "Metroid_(series)", as used an umbrella page. What does everyone think? Adam Conover 01:38, Mar 22, 2004 (UTC)

Umbrella page? Sure.

I think I like that plan. What says everyone about the Metroids themselves having their own entry, also?

Yes, I'm very much with that plan. And this page, called "Metroid", should be used for the series; the page for NES game should be at Metroid (NES) or somewhere else. Fredrik (talk) 01:28, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

MERGE

Why does everyone want to merge all the side-topics into MP2?

I assume you mean relatively minor side topics like Luminoth and Ing. They're so minor in the grand scheme of Metroid and indeed things in general that they really don't need separate articles. Andre (talk) 02:15, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)

Metroid Consolidation

I hope I'm not overstepping my limits or stepping on anyones toes with this, but I noticed that there are a ton of small, highly limited pages about Metroid that aren't really very cohesive. In this spirit, I am consolidating much of the smaller pages into an umbrella page here, as it seemed the best place. The goal there being to make a single useful page rather than dozens of small pages that are difficult to find. So if I'm doing something wrong, please be kind in reprimanding me. An example of what I mean: Previously there was a 'Power Suit' and a 'Power Beam' page. These terms could mean something from another game, anime, book, etc. Besides which, the average person probably won't search 'Power Suit' while thinking of 'Metroid.' By putting it in a single page, all the relevant info is right there at the immediate search term. I noticed also that people had talked about doing this, but not done it... so I took a bit of initiative. Chaz 02:22, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)

Well while your motives may have been good, in doing so you have removed any reference to Samus' power suit(a very important part of the overall games plots), the main article doesn't even mention it and there is only a brief mention of it in the Samus Aron article. Perhaps you could work it in the article before removing a page?--Silver86 07:28, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

There is another page with ALL the weapons and suits.

Items in the Metroid series

Spoiler?

Correct me if I'm wrong,it's been an AWFUL long time since I played metroid, but isn't the fact that the major character is female a huge secret? I seem to recall having to complete the game twice before you get to the sequence where the character takes her helmet off. If this is the case, should the article be so upfont about it?Gmaxwell 05:09, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Well, that was only really the case with the original Metroid, I think. All the rest of the games actually admit their character is a female before the ending. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 08:27, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)

I added a spoiler notice before the section about Justin Bailey. — Nathanlarson32767 (Talk) 02:52, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Oops, I meant to post that comment on the Metroid article.. — Nathanlarson32767 (Talk) 02:56, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
