    Super Metroid is hands down my favorite Nintendo game, the ambiance and the music pieces that go for each area you explore, plus the feeling of uncertainty you get when you first land on Zebes and make your way to the morph ball, then suddenly everything comes alive.

      What also stands out is the otherworldly, alien movement/running of samus in super metroid. Unfortunately they made her move and feel more human.

      @@dexplorelens7104 I certainly don't see the updating of the controls in Fusion and later games as a downside. The controls of Super felt very clumsy and imprecise for a number of reasons, and in later games the movement feels much tighter and more fluid, making the game much less frustrating and much more satisfying to play.
      And before someone replies to this and says "No Super has the best controls in the series, you just have to get used to them!" Let me say that absolutely isn't true, at least for me. Yes, the game's movement is the most complex and momentum-based out of any game in the series, which allows for a higher skill cap and more advanced speedrunning tricks, but the janky, sluggish-feeling physics and mechanics of the controls make the game feel clunky and unsatisfying to play with in comparison to later games in the series, even after replaying it a number of times. Super Metroid's controls just aren't the greatest compared to modern platformers. They're not game-breakingly horrible, no, and in fact i still somewhat enjoy playing around with Samus's movements and abilities in spite of them, but they're still the biggest issue I have with the otherwise nigh-perfect game that Super Metroid is.

    The last time I was as hyped for a game as I am Metroid Dread it was way back in the early 2000s when Metal Gear Solid 3 was about to release. Love the Prime games, but imo 2D is where Metroid really shines.

    I don't get why the GF would've called on Samus to go to ZDR. After the end of Fusion, I feel like they'd never want her help again. In fact, I feel like they'd kinda want her dead. Hey, maybe that's why they sent her.

    Metroid Fusion was my first game at 8 years old. Ended up finally beating it when I was 12 or so 🤣 Nightmare scared me and caused me to rage quit so much. Went back as an adult and played through all of them in chronological order and Metroid is easily one of my top favorites in the Nintendo series. Even going as far as maining Samus in Smash Bros 🤣
