I actually didn't like 3D Land that much and I can't really articulate why. I say this with full knowledge that it is one of the few games I've 100%d

Anyways we all know the best Metroid game is Prime Pinball.

I saw a top ten metroid game list once when there were only 11 metroid games and they put other m at number 10 instead of prime pinball because "prime pinball is the better game but it doesn't count because it is pinball."

Wtf is that poo poo

I like the boss fights in Metroid, but the actual exploration doesn't do nearly as much for me.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Samus Returns because I played Mirror of Fate.

Though tbh I hate that one the least of all 3 Lords of Shadow games.

Apparently American McGee wants to do an Alice 3 per some headline I saw get retweeted.

That'd be cool because I enjoyed both the Alice games he made. I even enjoyed the Red Riding Hood Diablo-clone he did as well.

Super Metroid was my first Metroid game. It's also the most perfect game in the world

I played Prime next. It's okay but I'll never play it ever again.

Then I played Fusion. The story and narration and computer dude were all dumb and I didn't enjoy myself

Zero Mission was real cool

I played Prime 2. I don't remember much about it, I'll amend that some day.

I rented Other M before I knew about its eventual reputation. I hate Metroid now



That's me. That's what my life is like. Take it or leave it

I'm more of a fan of sword metroids. I love SotN and Aria. Rabi Ribi and Hollow Knight are both really good and introduce neat mechanics. And while Momodora IV is kind of simple, it's one of my favorite steam games because of how good it feels (also it's really pretty)

weird but true. personally i would just not acknowledge the pinball game or make my list 9 entries rather than give other m any recognition though.

That's super interesting to me. I'm the exact opposite.

I might enjoy the boss fights more, but Samus never really had a good way to dodge attacks.


Have you ever played AM2R? That should turn you off Metroid boss fights forever.

though I think part of the reason I'm not as hot on metroid isn't because of the shooting, but because the setting doesn't really appeal to me. it's just like a bunch of different colored caves systems to me.

It's to the point where he's actually going to EA with pitches and artwork and stuff for the actual game, rather than make it on his own since EA own the IP.

I may go back and play Alice 2 at some point when my list of games to play has reached zero.

I have not- I thought about it until Samus Returns was announced so I'll just play that instead.

I wouldn't even disagree that Metroid fights don't have significant flaws, but I dunno I just like shooting the monsters fast.
