@@d.v.3314 definitely one of my favourite things about this fight. It feels desperate for all sides. Samus can't fly (well, without space jump...), and Ridley can, but inside the pipe section he doesn't have enough space to flap his wings effectively, so he resorts to scrape his claws against the walls. This makes this whole fight feel desperate and chaotic, and I love it! Also, Meta Ridley... The freaking cybernetically enhanced space dragon with solar sails for wings. Definitely one of the absolute coolest designs ever. The shot of him flying through outer space to Tallon IV was absolutely breathtaking

This fight is clearly paying homage to the Balrog battle from LOTR. The falling combat down a near endless chasm, the winged beast, and even the grab.

I know Ridley is a recurring enemy, but this was one of the biggest surprises for me. Not only because this was Meta Ridley from the first game, but they even reused his theme, like a big nostalgia trip to one of my favorite boss fights ever

Of course it is! Because it's wii remote pointer aiming & nunchuck controls(Set to advanced) blow everything out of the water based on what's currently available consoles. Aka gyro motion, which is straight up inferior because it has no sensor bar/reference. MP3's aiming was revolutionary back in 2007-ish, and the game itself imo is easily the greatest in the trilogy. VR motion controls are an evolution of the Wii remote & nuchuck, like the Quest Pro's controllers for example, that very well be even more accurate than Quest 3's.

Remember that fight Gandalf the grey had with that Balrog of morgoth from lord of the rings? Yeah this was that but with a mecha pterodactyl dragon and a woman with space armor and a canon for an arm.

Yo, this fight was FIRE. I was like "the game just started!"

I wish retro studios would port this over to Quest 3. The next logical step for the Prime series is VR. Not even the switch can replicate how amazing the wii remote and nunchuck were when 3 debuted back in 2008-ish. The joy-cons are awful and have no sensor for reliable accurate pointer aiming. Prime remastered feels like a big step back compared to what Prime 3 did all those years ago.

No wonder he became all mechanized, falling from a giant shaft 16.5 Km at terminal velocity cannot be shrugged off. Also this fight in hypermode is FIRE!!!

I knew that Ridley is based on the Alien but to me He's Nintendo's Darth Vader

0:51 Love how he says "heck" and also is immediately made insecure about his ability to be in control of the situation after having just expressed confidence in being able to do so with his PED suit.

That Ridley boss fight is great not just because of how much fun it is, but also the fact that it resembles one of the best fantasy movie openings. It not only serves as a good homage but also a stand alone. If you’re unfamiliar (highly doubtful that you are) The opening scene in “The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers” has the character Gandalf battle a giant fire dragon demon, the balrog. Samus is fighting her lifelong enemy in a similar way. Both scenes end differently. This one ends with Ridley’s defeat but Gandalf amd the balrog didn’t stop fighting when they landed.
