no no no you can like Fusion, it's a pretty well-made, fun, polished game. I like Fusion.

but the only game better than Super Metroid is MAYBE Metroid Zero Mission. That's just The Truth.

Both of those Metroid games had unused assets from a Wario game in the secret debug rooms. Think about it, what's considered the best of the modern Metroids would not exist if it were not for Wario.

only Fusion and Zero had Wario assets because they all ran on the same engine. Super is not so... afflicted.

I mean I love Wario Land 2 as much as the next guy but

Eh, the way the Prime franchise went after the first game, I wouldn't be too upset with that decision. I don't think the world is ready for any more meandering, mostly-aimless FPS games.

I would be thoroughly satisfied with more Metroid games like Zero Mission, especially if the alternative was Metroid games like Corruption. :shrug:

I just want a Super Metroid remake with the improved control scheme of the GBA games. Holding a shoulder button for missiles is so much better than the clunky select button toggle.

There's also an opposite one, Super Zero Mission which is Zero Mission's graphics but with Super Metroid's sound and controls. A lot of people consider it to be Super Metroid II due to its quality and extra but not unfair challenges.

This is actually one of the very few things I liked about Other M.

The others are mostly the nostalgia bosses power hour towards the end. They were fun to see and fight in 3D.

Metroid Fusion is a decent game and actually has some new powerups for a 2d Metroid which is nice but they really hosed up the damage-to-health recovery ratio: sure, you can get a stupid number of energy tanks compared to most other Metroids, yes, without her actual armor, she's supposed to take entire health tanks of damage from everything even with the Gravity Suit equivalent and yeah, there's full recovery stations in every major area near the entrance, but would it REALLY have killed them to make it so that you recover more than 20-30 energy from absorbing the X when you have the above issue of increased damage?

Sure, bigger enemies leave more X behind to absorb but it's still not enough, half of them are ammo-recovery X and if the game's feeling assholish, it can turn the X into another enemy before you can absorb them. You'd think they would've added another type of X later in the game that recovers more health, the boss door X are already special X red that recover multiple energy tanks of health so all they had to do was to add another one.

When you're fighting those enemies that can only be damaged on the back, use a charged dark beam shot to kill them in one hit. Bam, Torvus Bog is now 90% less annoying
