Metroid NES speedrun in 18:50 by Arcus

Nothing like sitting out by the lake playing some Metroid. 😂

You know it’s a good soundtrack when the speedrunner still hums it.

Dude. To beat this game without bombs, without the long beam, only getting two energy tanks and one missile tank is just nuts. Its amazing how compelling NES games are after all this time.

12:24 - "I don't know how to get out of here. Maybe if I freeze a banana..."

I'll remember this next time I'm in a jam. After all, it worked.

[Huckhaven]

God only knows how many hours my 6 year old self spent playing through this game. 35 years later the music is just as terrifying!

I know I'm super late to the party here but can we appreciate that this man just did Cowboys and Aliens way better than Hollywood.

You good sir are an amazing speed runner. Not because of how well you know the games, but it's because of how chill you are when you play. I admire that

[arturkarpinski]

I passed that game back in 90!!! Had to take a Polaroid to prove to my friends at school that it's a girl!!!!

[Alamyst]

Great job sir. Takes me just over 25 minutes and Ive been playing for years. Always get hung up on something or another.
Glad to see you bringing the classics to so many new viewers.

"what a good boy Arcus'... lol, u kill me man. Never change, you are a gem!

[JasonMontell]

Your channel does wonders for my anxiety and depression. Thank you for everything you do.

[Jpal]

I was really hoping I could watch something before bed. This really hit the spot! Thanks for all your hard work arcus

[LorenHelgeson]

Very impressive run. I've played this game for 30+ years now - first one I ever beat - and it still hasn't gotten old for me.

[jvl]

this guy is the man. as mentioned, the bob ross of speed runs.

[larrytipton]

Man making a mockery of my childhood, one game at a time. I salute you sir!

[DarksouIjah]

This game was insanely difficult when it first came out. Well to me it was.

[phillipmitchell]

When you fell in the quicksand and started beeping I was like "NoooOOOOooOO!!"

[MrKnightcastle]

Enjoy watching your content. Brings back so many good memories.

[kicksex]

I’ve heard about the door glitches but never knew you could trigger an instant death with the 2nd controller. Neat

[subedei]

Make sure you beat the game in less than an hour to get the beat ending

Arcus- “hold my burrito”
