Super Metroid

YEAH! This is the first time beating Super Metroid for me! I played without any hints or walkthroughs and I really enjoyed this game. I needed 7 tries to defeat Ridley and 4 tries to defeat Mother Brain. Didn't save the animals as I had only 7 seconds left at the end. Statistics: Play time: 12:16 Item collection: 83% I have not thought that I missed that many items though.

  • I'm glad you enjoyed Super Metroid, it is one of my favourites from the SNES era. I still have the original big box version of the game around here somewhere. Good job for not using any guides or anything too!

  • Yeah, I really liked playing it. I'm only 19 years old and I never owned an SNES so I'm glad that there is Virtual Console. (I wouldn't enjoy playing it on a PC via Rom-hack too.) But during the last years my interest in Metroid (and Metroidvania ganes in general) really increased as I played them.

  • I knew the original Metroid but just didn't know where to go. Then I got Metroid Fusion via the Ambadassor Program. I absolutely had no clue what awaited me when I started it. :D And I really liked it, beat it after quite a time (but partially with playthrough, wouldn't do this today) and came back to the NES Metroid which I could beat too (but here a walkthrough was mandatory).

  • I searched the internet for quite a long time and I found out that Super Metroid is clearly considered the best 2D Metroid game so I picked it up (but I waited until it was discounted xD) It's unexspectedly creative and large for a 23-year old game! Also gave AM2R a try and dug it too. Now of course I'm really looking forward to Metroid: Samus Returns. But sadly without Miiverse then. :/

  • I even was at Gamescom and attended the show where Sakamoto and the guy from MercurySteam released more details about the game. If you want to watch it, please take a look at the first minute where the audience was asked "Do we have Metroid fans here?". The reaction is just okay-ish. I should have been more enthusiastic. :D I really hope the game sells well because I want more 2D Metroid now!

  • Ok, this was much. I just like talking about it. :D You don't have to answer all of this of course. xD

  • Glad to here people are still enthusiastic for Metroid! I am quite jealous that you were able to attend the Gamescom presentation. I too am looking forward to Samus Returns, unfortunately I missed out on pre-ordering the Legacy Edition by just a few minutes...

  • Yeah, I think that interest in Metroid was bigger in the time of Fusion and Prime 1. But I'm sure that there will be a small revival now. On the other hand, it was too bad if Samus Returns sells badly. I asked myself what I wanted to do with that special edition - and felt like I wouldn't enjoy the extras. So I'll buy it normally. :)
