What is Metroid Moment?
A complete hoseshit moment as defined by videogamedunkey in his Metroid : Samus Returns (dunkview) video.
That Metroid game has a shit-ton of Metroid Moments.
Metroid Moment - video
Metroid Moment - what is it?
Noun.
Any moment in a video game where you are unable to progress the main story because of a horribly obscure objective that must be completed to trigger the next event.
Popularized by the youtuber dunkey while talking about the Metroid video game series. Earlier games of the 90's had progression walls such as this that artificially lengthened the gameplay time by forcing the player to explore every area of the game in order to figure out what to do next.
Person 1: Remember in Ocarina of Time when you had to bomb the small Goron as adult Link to get to the fire dungeon? I had to call the tips line to figure out that I had to even do that in the first place.
Person 2: Ahh. Sounds like a real Metroid Moment.
