Metroid Turns 30!/Appreciation

[Deltron]

Even if it's been dormant for a few years and is getting a questionable spinoff for the 3DS soon, the series as a whole is still one of Nintendo's underrated. I still remember getting lost in the NES one, and somehow finding out about the Justin Bailey code. Didn't play Metroid 2 until after Super Metroid, though. Super Metroid still plays great today and stands as one of the GOAT SNES games.

I don't think metroid is under rated at all.
The greatest side scrollers are still called "metroidvania" games.
Super metroid is easily one of my favorite games.

Good point, I guess I meant as an overall franchise at Nintendo in the sense they put it on the back burner to concentrate on other franchises.

You're missing out..should at least play Super Metroid.

Super Metroid is one of the best games ever. It still holds up today, especially since metroidvania games are still 2D

Love the series.

Sidenote a lot of people don't talk about it, but Metroid Fusion for the GBA was an incredible installment as well

Super Metroid is timeless, true definition of a classic.

Also, the long awaited fan remake of Metroid 2 is gonna be released in an hour and it's free.

Project AM2R - Another Metroid 2 Remake

The original game is definitely underrated as far as the NES catalog goes.

Man nintendo really don't give a fukk about metroid. Not a booklet, or a little documentary on the series, or a collectors edition. Even kirby had a collection on his 20th.

What a shame because metroid is one of the most influential series in video games.
