Super Metroid is one of the best games ever made bar none. The graphics, sound, story and gameplay were phenomenal

100% Fact. I was late to it, I didn't even play Super Metroid until 2021!!! Probably the best video game I've ever played, I put in 30 hours plus on my SNES mini. Looking to play Fusion, Zero Mission and the Prime series next before Samus returns and Dread.

Its definitly worth it for the memories in my opinion.

LoL your past childhoods mirror mine so well. I remember the xmas morning with the nes, and metroid was one of the games we got. My brother was older and played d&d with his friends, and it was metroid that broke the age difference. Ah the sleepovers and sleeping bags, mutant turtles, listening to you guys talk about this makes me feel like I'm listening to my own memories hehe.

The Metroid and Mega Man series are till this day my favorite series if all time. Metroid 2 was the most underrated of the Metroid series. Absolutely loved it and the original was the second game I ever owned on the NES when I got it as a kid. You guys are great and keep up the great work.

This video strikes me in my nostalgic core... Metroid carries the most potent feelings of childhood innocence for me.

Thanks guys for bringing back those memories.

This episode is a perfect example of why I love this channel so much because the video game stories are so original and so inspirational. i can totally relate to the fact that the game was a very endearing experience for me as well because the music and atmosphere was borderline scary and tense.

I got Metroid and a NES for Christmas in 87 and I do have to say that was one of my favorite Christmases and Metroid is solely responsible for my video game addiction to this day lol. My parents wouldn't let me hook it up until after we were all done opening presents so once I did I played it from about 2 in the afternoon until 6 the next morning. I love that game and always wished they would of made a few more for the NES and would of loved one or two on the N64. My next favorite Christmas would be 91 when we got a SNES and I got Final Fantasy II which became one of my all time favorite games. Great memories!!

*****: Zero Mission is a remake of the original Metroid, with improved graphics and extended story; it is Samus re-telling the story of her first ever mission and how she went from having a relatively nice suit of armour to an awesome power suit that turned her into the one woman army she is today. I wish they would re-make Metroid 2 and 3 as well :(

Super Metroid passed me by in the 90s, but now years after buying a SNES Classic, I've finally got round to it this past 2 weeks and finished it. Amazing game, crazy how it's taken me so long to experience it. It's got that similar sense of adventure that Zelda has, but in a completely different setting and style.

I just randomly picked it up without knowing anything about it and wow it is in my top 5 favorite games of all time.

Metroid and Zelda are my co-favorite games of all time. I remember beating Metroid with the original square controller and being so happy with myself! God such memories... I remember during the run-up to the Mother Brain, how those Zeebetite (?) tube things would keep regenerating and growing back and those little random fire rings that would bump you off the platforms... at the end... so frustrating.. When I finally finally got it done, it was such an awesome feeling. Metroid was the first real game I purchased. I had the original set that had the gray gun, ROB the robot, Duck Hunt and Gyromite. No Super Mario Bros! So after killing all the ducks I could and getting fed up instantly with Gyromite, I picked up Metroid. I played the HELL out of this game. It was so good. This was a great nostalgic episode, guys. Thank you so much for the memories!

And one of my best memories is watching this game being played, it was like being in that universe.

If it wasn’t for save states I would’nt of ever finished the game

One of the most impressive moments of Metroid - for me personally - was the closing credits sequence displayed at the end of the game. It was like I had just finished watching a good movie. I know it sounds ridiculous, but this totally amazed me back in the day. I was graduating from the likes of the Atari 2600 at the time, and it was the first time I'd seen such a thing in a video game.

The first Metroid is the pinnacle of gaming in my eyes. That game was so totally revolutionary in many ways. One of the best parts about the Metroid series is the phenomenal music. The first time I experienced Metroid was at a friends house and I was immediately transfixed by the haunting music and atmosphere. The original Metroid would have to be my favorite game of all time and I'm an old 37 so I've played A LOT of games.

Inside the boxes of some Nintendo games was a card that you could fill out and send in. I remember getting some posters and what turned out to be a subscription to the Nintendo Fun Club. All that was free but eventually Fun Club became Nintendo Power and they started to charge money. They gave us the first issue for free and maybe some others but I quickly subscribed to the whole magazine. Every year when it was time to renew your subscription the’d give us a free gift. One year I got a Dragon Quest game with a poster, map and strategy guide. That “gift” was probably worth more than the whole magazine subscription. If you didn’t have Nintendo Power, I have to wonder why not? It wasn’t all that expensive. Cheaper than a new game and basically mandatory if you wanted to be up to date on Nintendo.

I know what you mean about not understanding how to approach the original game upon first being introduced. There's a significant "maze" component that was a new concept at the time. I didn't have any published maps or guidebooks, so I drew my own simple maps on graph paper as I went through the game. Beating the game became like an obsessive project for me!

@DSan-kl2yc 9 жыл бұрын

what he said about tackling it as an action game is something I relate to. I didn't think about it at the time but I just kept pushing forward, and fast. So the going up and not really having a destination, and not having dialogue or anything, it was all so discouraging or dispiriting. BUT SUPER METROID WAS AWESOME. Maybe it was how visually cool it was or the music but I just loved playing it. Maybe cause it was easier to tell the sections too. Metroid is a franchise I feel I love only because of Super Metroid. Fusion was kinda just average, and I didn't play zero. I can tell that Prime is visually impressive, and usually the intro track is interesting but after that I usually can't remmeber the music or pay attention. I mean here and there I do. But I couldn't get all that used to it or excited after I bought it. Even with all the script from the descriptions. It's cool for the animals but for all the file reading, it's overdone. I thought I wanted something slightly like Other M but everything about that seems wrong I didn't even bother. Y'know there were a lot of hard sci fi anime around that time so I don't get why it's been difficult to give Metroid slightly more story. Not in terms of plot but in terms of being less objective and moving the player.

Super Metroid is most definitely #1 SNES game. It's the bomb diggity. Absurd pixel art & animation, atmosphere, replayability, controls & even glitches. Edit: I'm with you, Johnny! I never understood Metroid / back-tracking games (Zelda included, although I liked playing the original, I would aimlessly wander) until a friend played Super Metroid in its entirety & it clicked! Same story with Ocarina, my friend took a deku branch, lit it in the fire & approached the web to open a path -- it all suddenly made sense! Growing up on hardcore platformers/fighting games/brawlers, left to right progression, it was a different world. I remember thinking "what's up with these blue/pink squares? Why can't I continue right? Door's locked? Hahaha.

@RebornAleph 12 жыл бұрын

I'm only 23, and where I'm from, games were a huge luxury growing up. The first Metroid I tried was Super Metroid. A friend of my mothers' kid was having a birthday, and for whatever reasons, her mother decided to invite me too. As soon as I stepped into her room, I noticed two things: 1) I was the only guy there; 2) There were games. Since they had no interest in the games, I popped that sucker in and played Super Metroid the entire day/evening. Mesmerized, is the word.
