When he got to the top five, I was going through every game in the series trying to figure out what I was missing. Trilogy is definitely a cheat!

The top 3 (Dread, Prime and Super) are some of the greatest games of all time. What a series!

All I know is, Dread was one hell of a Metroid game!

Metroid Prime Pinball isn’t #1?!

Prime is my favourite over all, and Dread my favourite 2D game, even after reflecting on it. The movement and gamefeel of Dread is probably unrivaled in any Metroidvania game let alone the Metroid series. If Super had Dread's movement and qol updates it would definitely take the crown back. Also, Prime 2 is a top 4 Metroid game, I honestly believe it only features so low on the list because so few people have played it.

Prime 2 will always have a special place in my heart, and is currently my favorite Metroid game. There's so many small details that make the world feel so alive, yet there's also that underlying feeling of death and decay. This contrast creates a brilliant atmosphere for the game.

Metroid dread is actually my first Metroid game and I’m actually enjoying it but it is frustrating at the same time

The thing that bugs me about these lists is that Super always has GOAT syndrome. Most Metroid games are as good as Super, it’s just that most Metroid games didn’t revolutionize the genre. Most entries have aspects they do better than Super, but Super is the most publicly accessible and acclaimed, so it usually wins. Examples- Fusion has better atmosphere, gameplay and bosses- with the tradeoff of a lack of sequence breaking. It’s my favorite 2D entry. Zero Mission- great controls, great map, sequence breaks. But a Shorter game than Super. Prime- it’s not my favorite, but there’s no question that it’s variety and innovation are impressive. Echoes- best linear map in my opinion, every area connects and the atmosphere is top notch. My favorite 3D entry. Corruption- an interesting side-grade to Echoes, It has primes great map variety and a nice sci-fi atmosphere. It doesn’t lean quite as hard into the genre as the other entries do though, making it controversial. Dread- Honestly this game stands the best chance of challenging Super Metroid, mostly because it caters to every part of the fanbase. An improvement of Samus Returns’ already buttery controls. It has fusion’s atmosphere, linearity and plot focus. It even goes for Zero Mission and Super’s sequence breaks. Its one issue is that it doesn’t necessarily always hit the exact high points of each entry. Probably either my 2nd or 3rd favorite entry over all.

I think in the future other 2D games will look back upon Dread as such a key entry in gaming history. It has helped the entire genre reach a new audience, not just new Metroid fans

I recently started playing Fusion. I actually like the hand holding telling me where to go next. That was the biggest frustration for me in previous Metroid games. Just getting lost and having no idea what to do or where to go. As an adult I just don't have time for that. Just tell me where to go and let me blast some aliens along the way.

Metroid Prime was a game changer for me. I remember just admiring the game, looking up and seeing the raindrops on the visor. A bit later I found out if you shot close to a wall, Samus' face would briefly light up in the reflection... so beautiful, and a great advancement curve.

While Metroid Prime Trilogy is an incredible collection, I wouldn't put it as its own game. I don't think collections qualify for these kinds of lists. Remakes are fine. (I know they implemented new controls for MP1 and 2, but it doesn't warrant being called a game of its own, in my opinion.) Edit: I'd give it an honourable mention.

I know mobile is a dirty word around these parts but I'd low key kill for a Metroid Pinball Mobile game, charge 5-10 bucks, have boards representing the whole series, music remixes etc etc. I'd buy it.

Super Metroid isn't my favorite Metroid game, but I cannot argue with it being number 1. It's an incredibly well-designed game. Other games in the series certainly do some elements better, but Super kind of does everything well. It's got the atmosphere, exploration, action, puzzles, story and does all of those very well. It's the complete Metroid experience in my opinion.

Not really my favorite, but Prime 3 is the one that helped me understand what Metroid actually is, and ever since then, i checked every other game (minus the spin-offs) and became a big fan of the series 😊

DREAD OUTSIDE THE TOP 3?!?! YOU'RE ALL NUTS Edit: nvm Prime Trilogy is a cheat

What is the general consensus on the Diggernaut boss battle in Samus Returns? Seems that there’s negative feelings towards it? I genuinely think it’s one of the most thrilling, well-designed bosses in a 2D platformer that I’ve ever faced. Your initial encounter with the bot through a chase scene was thrilling, and it stealing an upgrade indicates that it is an inevitable hurdle that you will have to overcome. There is a sense of dread in knowing it’s lurking around. The battle itself is a spectacle and challenges you to use all of the skills and abilities you’ve built up until that point (as a good boss should). The way Diggernaut’s movements capitalise on the camera’s 2D perspective and the sheer size of the guy to deliver challenging obstacles is also really creative and fun. Dread has some fantastic bosses too, but good ol’ Diggernaut will always rank highly for me as an all time great. Amazing freakin boss yo.

Maybe it's just because I didn't grow up with it, but I don't feel what others seem to feel for Super. It's a good game and worth the time to play at least once, but it feels really dated overall. It's definitely the best game in the series for GDQ, though.

I thought Metroid Dread would pass super. Its such a game changer in my opinion I love it

Sorry, Jon, but why put Metroid Prime: Trilogy on the list when the three games separately are already on it? That's like if you made a "Best Halo Games" video and putting in the Halo: Anniversary Collection on the list.

I didn't even know there were 15 games in the series lol, Wikipedia only lists 11, but I guess you have compilations on here, though really, all this list shows is the quality of the Metroid series

I think that Super Metroid being #1 is just rose tinted glasses, I do think its one of the best

How I'd rank the metroid series: 14) Other M 13) Prime Hunters 12) Prime Spinball 11) Prime Fed Force 10) Metroid 2 9) Metroid 1 8) Prime 3 7) Metroid 2 Remake 6) Super 5) Fusion 4) Dread 3) Prime 2 2) Zero Mission 1) Prime 1 0) Prime trilogy

I've only played a handful of the games, here is my ranking... 4. Super Metroid - I know that this is considered the best in the series, but I had a very hard time getting through this one. Even though I used a guide throughout the entire game, I got lost a lot which really took me out of the game along with janky controls and criptic secrets, maybe it could be fixed with a rema- oh I can't say that never mind. 3. Metroid: Zero Mission - Unlike Super, the few times I got lost were not nearly as frustrating. The game may lead you quite a bit, which could be toned down, but the game feel is so good making the lower difficulty not nearly as bad. However, don't think I'll ever 100% this one... 2. Metroid Dread - Close one here, while maybe I should wait a bit to rank this, it's just so good. So many secrets that are easy to find but the real challenge comes from getting through the obstacle courses. Even got lost a lot, and it was fine. However, there are some annoying sections. 1. Metroid Prime - Near perfection.

I’ve only played 2 games in this series Super and Dread I think Dread is better The Controls are superb the graphics are beautiful the progression is so satisfying it’s so addictive the Emmi sections were strokes of genius the story is very interesting the boss fights were pretty frustrating at first but learning their patterns was satisfying etc Super is great to I’m not way to big of a fan of games super focused on exploration but Super Metroid was fun The best part of the game was without a doubt the atmosphere The pixelated look makes it look so much more creepy than pure realism the music is so ominous and spooky there were some moments that gave me fear the controls aren’t super smooth the progression is decent some moments were very brutal and and just chilling

You are now looking at someone whos favorite game of all time is Metroid Prime 2. Metroid Prime was revolutionary for Metroid, and has that WOW factor when you first play it, but on getting past that, I just vastly prefer Echoes due to it's challenge, atmosphere and combat (imo it has some of the best bosses in the series, Quadraxis is right there).

Prime 2 for Wii is I think my favorite Metroid game. From the world to the bosses and items it's just so unique and interesting. Following it are probably prime 1 and dread.

I love this kind of video. You guys should do it with more franchises like 2D Mario, 3D Mario, DK, Fire Emblem, etc....

I have some nostalgia for Hunters. Playing that for the first time on my new DS it was incredibly cool.

The guy who says "Samus is under fire she sent an emergency directive join the fight" is Wolf's voice actor from Brawl and Ultimate.

Funny thing about Dread after I got screw attack I back tracked to see what I can collect and ended up lost. In the end I ended up skipping the double chozo battle after you get screw attack and it took me a minute to get back on track after I ended up in the completely wrong area but it was cool that I got to skip a boss without knowing it

Metroid Prime: Trilogy should not have been in the list, and instead replaced with the Metroid game in Nintendo Land

Thanks for showing these. Also, I didn’t know we could submit our own game reviews on Nintendo Life. Thanks!!

I would definitely put Zero Mission above Super myself, controls are really important to me, and ZM is just much more fluid.

I can understand Super Metroid as #1 but i would still love to see it Remastered.

I'm always biased towards action as opposed to being lost in a giant map in a typical Metroidvania, so my favorite Metroid would always be the GBA games until Dread. With that in mind, then Dread is peeeeeerrrrrrrfect for my preferences: Rewarding gameplay, smooth-as-butter action, non-intrusive guidance and the thrill of the EMMI and [SPOILER] creatures.

Metroid prime pinball, a masterpiece. Right away your breath is taken away. The graphics. Oh, the graphics. As you listen to the hard rock while playing pinball, you are immersed. The level design, the music, the beautifully incorporated enemies, the physics. And finally, we see why Metroid crawls. To play pinball. GOTY for 2005 easy. Maybe even game of the decade. Also super Metroid is pretty good.

My Top 1. Super and Prime: I can’t decide for one of them. Masterpieces 2. Echoes: Is really underestimated. The Darkness is really cool. 3. Dread: Great bosses, exploration and story 4. Zero Mission: Best remake ever! 5. Corruption: really beautiful and perfect controls and gameplay 6. Samus Returns: Love the new elements and the boss Fights 7. Fussion: Love the story, but I hate is to linear. I don’t think bossfights are that hard 8. Hunters: I like the world they made but, the bosses are the worst 9. Metroid NES: Not for new comers unless you like to be ass kicked in you first playthrough 10. Return of Samus: incredible for It’s time but now really wird to play 11. Federation Force: It’s a pain in the ass playing it solo. 12. Prime Pinball: Is better than Other M. 13. Other M: I like the boss fights, but Zero exploration, and dumb scripts. Great idea, bad implementation. I would love to see another try in Third person 3D Metroid game.

What nobody understands about Other M is it ignores the Prime series. It’s part of the primarily Japanese-made (Prime is made in Texas) mainline series, taking place between Super and Fusion. The Ridley encounter that everyone likes to site as a detriment to Samus’s character makes much more sense in this context. Most people bring up that Samus fought Ridley like 5 times, so why would she be so afraid of another encounter? She clearly states at the beginning of Other M, “I defeated my nemesis Ridley.” Prior to Other M, she fought Ridley twice and was convinced he was dead after the events of Super. Keeping that in mind, while melodramatic, her reaction to seeing an alive Ridley in Other M makes more sense. Also, don’t get me started on the issues people have with Adam. Samus having all of her power-ups but being restricted via a superior officer (she respects him, and she showed up during a mission already in progress) makes much more sense then her just losing all her abilities at the beginning of the game for whatever silly reason. Love, the Other M defender.

If you actually give Prime Hunter's multiplayer and Federation Force's co-op a chance, they're both waaaay better than Other M. If Nintendo wasn't bad at banking on their hidden gems like they always are, they would include a remaster of both multiplayer experiences in Prime 4 as the multiplayer section of that game.

I definitely get the universal praise for Super but for me personally, the sluggish outdated controls break it

Can't believe other M was placed ahead of Hunters 😂

I feel like the only weirdo whose favourites are Fusion and Echoes.

I'm kinda glad Prime Trilogy cheated it's way to number 2. I'd certainly list it in my top 10 games. I'm one of those people who prefers Prime 2 over 1

Super Metroid is by far one of the absolute best games in the history or gaming, the combination of a stellar soundtrack and the feeling of being alone in this alien world gives me shivers to this day, i was 8 when the game came out and I remember like it was yesterday the first time I heard that start screen music.

Another "Best metroid games" list with Super METROID at #1. Imagine my shock...

Out of the ones I have played 1. Super 2. Dread 3. Zero Mission 4. Fusion 5 Metroid Out of how much I think I will like the other games 1. Super 2. Dread 3. Am2r 4. Prime 2 5. Prime 1 6 0 mission 7. Samus returns 8. Prime 3 9. Fuison 10. Metroid 2 11. Metroid prime hunters 12. Metroid 13. Metroid prime federation force 14. Other M

super metroid's exploration is SUPER, and it will always become my number one favorite metroid games, with dread becoming the second most favorite game in the series

Even though Fusion holds your hand every step of the way I still prefer it to Super but would definitely put Prime at number one.

My thoughts when he got to Prime: "Wait, if Prime is #3, Fusion, Zero Mission, and Dread are already on the list, and I already know Super is #1... is AM2R #2?" haha

Metroid Fusion was my first Metroid game and I've only grown fonder of it with time. I still think Super Metroid is the most well rounded and definitive Metroid experience, but after having played through all the 2D games back to back last year, I noticed something that made me appreciate Fusion so much more than even Zero Mission which is basically just Super Metroid-lite. People often criticize Fusion for its linear game design and compare it to Super Metroid but seem to forget that it was developed for a handheld much like The Return of Samus, which doesn't get nearly as much flak for its shortcomings for being a Gameboy game. Fusion was designed to be enjoyed in bite sizes and therefore its design was streamlined. Except Fusion isn't just some downgraded Metroid formula for a handheld. Everything about Metroid Fusion is almost a subversion of Super's formula and that's kinda the point of the whole game. That traditional Metroid formula that was perfected with Super is now challenged in Fusion and done so to keep the experience feeling fresh and that's literally what Fusion is. A brand new fresh take on the Metroid series. From its color pallette to its soundtrack and right down to its very design. I know subverting expectations carries a negative connotation today after Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi, but when it's applied to game design, it works. And that's not even factoring in the game's amazing use of atmosphere and visual storytelling. It's such an underrated game that gets blasted for the ways it differs from Super Metroid rather than celebrated because it differs from Super Metroid which was the entire point. Super Metroid will always be the standard, but it's great that future titles have been able to put their own spin on it rather than just outright copying it.

Nintendo Land Metroid Blast number 1 or riot

My own Top (not counting trilogy cuz c'mon lol) : 14 - Metroid II 13 - Metroid 12 - Metroid Prime Pinball 11 - Metroid Prime Hunters 10 - Metroid Prime Federation Force 09 - Metroid Other M 08 - Metroid Samus Returns 07 - Metroid Prime 3 06 - Metroid Prime 05 - Super Metroid 04 - Metroid Dread 03 - Metroid Zero Mission 02 - Metroid Prime 2 01 -Metroid Fusion

Honestly? I'd rank Federation Force above the original Metroid I and II. They have just aged so horribly and FF is a fun game :D

Your list is 🔥 I love Metroid Super Metroid brought me as 6 years into the videogame world and I would say Dread is almost close behind and is definitely on my top 5 games of all time

I absolutely love Fusion. It was the first 2D Metroid I played. If they could only remake it using the Dread engine 🙂

Super Metroid is my favorite, the first time i played, i skiped the hook, and damage boosted to every part that needed it, without even knowing i needed it. Years later i discovered that the "Scanner" existed, and then the "Jump Ball", is just incredible how different every playthrough is, i just need to leave the game alone for a year... its still a joy to play to this day.

LOL something about seeing other M with samus moving in a full 3d environment then quickly seeing pinball in the next frame ranked higher is just funny to me 😂 Not judging, I haven’t played either, I’ve only played the five 2d metroids!

Out of the mainline series for me (plus AM2R), my top 10 is 10. Other M - Not a good Metroid game at all but as a standalone action game...it's ok. The story...yeah no. It did a disservice to a lot of the plot elements set up in Fusion and to Samus herself at the time. An ambitious project with a ton of love put into it but it's one that just didn't work out and felt out of touch. (Power Gap) 9. Samus Returns - Good first attempt from Mercury Steam with some pacing issues and held back a bit by the 3ds itself 8. Prime 3: Corruption - Took some good steps forward for the series but Hyper Mode is a pretty poorly thought out mechanic. Loved the use of the bounty hunters here though I would love another prime game that explored Samus interacting with fellow bounty hunters outside of fighting them in boss battles. Seeing a more social side of Samus might be interesting if done well. 7. Prime 2: Echoes - Solid, Aether isn't my favorite location to explore but solid overall. I do need to revisit this sometime though for a more clear opinion. 6. Zero Mission - A great place to start with the series. A bit short and the end game hunt hurts it a bit but fantastic overall 5. AM2R - Amazing, a bit repetitive due to Metroid 2's structure but this takes the Zero Mission approach and applies that to Metroid 2. 4. Fusion - Scariest game in the series. Has the best "force of nature" antagonist with the X. It's very linear but that works in service to its story. 3. Super - The top 3 in this series honestly switch around depending on my mood but this is THE classic Metroid game. Controls have aged and because of that it is NOT an easy starting point for newcomers but a great game regardless and a perfect mix of exploration and atmosphere. 2. Dread - The best playing 2D Metroid hands down. A great refinement of what both Samus Returns and Fusion introduced to the series and just a total blast to replay. Story is way more engaging that you'd think thanks to some great body language in Samus. Arguably has the best Antagonist in the series and fits neatly with the series lore. The Ending is kind of ridiculous but in a way that actually works out. Could've used a few tweaks and an extra unique boss or two towards the end but this could easily swap with number 1 for me. Can't go wrong with it. 1. Prime 1 - Pretty much Super Metroid but in 3D. Best music in the series and I'll always love Prime's tone and aesthetic. The end game hunt feels like padding and some bosses outstay their welcome but MAN this is a great game. In case you can't tell I don't really care to play the first two Metroid games. Just a bit too cumbersome and frustrating for me and there are other options for experiencing them.

Ok I understand this is a Metroid video and all and I LOVE Super Metroid, but the best soundtrack in a video game? Chrono Trigger exists 🥺

My favorite Metroid games are Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid Prime: Federation Force, at #1 and #2 respectively, as single player experiences. The multiplayer modes in Hunters can still be played solo against up to three bots with adjustable difficulty, and that aspect in itself makes the game more addictive and enjoyable than every game in the series. The single player is more guided in its design than most Metroid games, but there is a fair amount of choice in what order the player can decide to travel through the Alimbic Cluster. Once the player collects their second Octolith from Alinos, the game begins to branch with Arcterra and Vesper Defense Outpost. Hunters manages to have linear designs without feeling restrictive, unlike Other M and Fusion. Federation Force as a solo game has the most rewarding Metroid adventure. Most of the game's 22 missions will give the player the option to pick up several to a handful of MODS that can further progress the range of potential for their Mech. Co-op play significantly cuts into the amount of rewards and ultimately the available options a player has while playing through each mission. The atmosphere and exploration are also both much more prominent aspects of the experience playing alone, which are what most seem to indicate as core tenets of a quality Metroid game. Unfortunately for Federation Force, it can be a challenge initially and I can imagine many new players will interpret that as a sign that they should be playing the game as it was mainly advertised as a co-op experience. Like any new Metroid game experience, there will be some learning and the game does have options for the player to help them adjust and manage as they grow more familiar. The game's three available assault drones and Lone Wolf MOD are great tools for a new player, and, if the player has been collecting amiibo of Metroid characters, there are 3 fantastic Paint Jobs for even more options to ease new players into the game. Co-op isn't required to enjoy the game.

Agree about Prime FF, underrated, lovely 3DS game. This is coming from a big Metroid fan as well. It's the only position on the list I don't agree with, but not by much. Prime Hunters blew me away on the DS, fully realised team death match with controls that did work for what they were, good fun! I enjoyed other M and I didn't play it properly until this year so the graphics were looking very dated at such low res. For a Wii game it is good looking though, has very cool animations and VFX. It had some really cool control ideas and trying to do something more cinematic could have been so cool but the daring ideas fell flat and actually the parts most like other Metroid games were the best parts. I agree about Metroid 2, it all looks too similar and without a map especially it is pretty much unplayable imo. Metroid 1 holds up fairly well if you want a retro kick and you are a die hard Metroid fan, especially if you use and online map. Samus Returns is a fantastic 3DS game, and Mecury Steam are a god send for pushing forward the mechanics, both of their games feel so slick. But I have to say in temrs of "understanding Metroid games" the vibe is a bit off, the art direction and atmosphere when compared to Super or even Zero Mission, it's just souless by comparison. Also agree "it's still Metroid 2" so be prepared for countless repetitive boss fights that massively sour the experience. Honetly if it had unique bosses instead it would be one of the best Metroid games! Also thanks Mecury steam for another of my favourite 3DS games Mirror of Fate, what a game!

Great review. I'm poring over Metroid reviews as I wait for my copy of Prime Remastered to show up.

You mention using the Select button to cycle through weapons bothering you in Super Metroid - It always bothered me, too. Fortunately, you can remap the controls in that game. Using a face button to cancel the selection always struck me as a waste, so I just switch them. Much better, IMO.

I liked Hunters far more than other M

First time finding this channel. You have one hell of a voice sir!

The top 3 (not including the trilogy) are my exact order of top 3 Metroid games. Super Metroid and the first Metroid prime are in a class of their own, then I have dread at number 3. What a fantastic game that was and worth the wait! I have Metroid fusion over zero mission but other than that I can’t argue too much with the list

What I'm noticing is for many of those who weren't around when the original NES game came out, they won't have the same level of appreciation for it as those of us who have been playing the games from the beginning. It's definitely still my personal favorite in the series. I was 8 when it was released in the US in 1987. Played it at friends houses but, didn't get my cart until 1989 though. Takes me back to the days of the commercials (especially the Metroid/Rad Racer tv spot). If you wanted maps, you had to get the Official Nintendo Player's Guide. Good times.

Pretty close to my preferences, though I don't really care too much for the Prime sequels, and including Prime Trilogy is like Alan Partridge saying his favourite Beatles album is probably "The Best of The Beatles".

Dread is my favorite, Samus Returns my 2nd, Prime my 3rd and Super 4th. Those are the ones I played at least

I want the restock of Samus Returns amiibo. I want THEBABY

For me Super Metroid is No.1 purely due to it's incredible atmosphere. Yet to be matched in the series.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption being more linear, streamlined and simplistic than Metroid Prime 2: Echoes was a breath of fresh air after the depth of navigating both a light and a dark world, solving interdimensional puzzles, having to manage two more ammo types (Light and Dark ) that are way more important than Missiles and Power Bombs (which you also had) on top of managing your Energy which is constantly drained on Dark Aether, hunting for the Sky Temple Keys which were on Dark Aether and were invisible (some in dark water). I love all 3 Prime games but I'm glad they different enough from eachother.

17:16 well Kraid was planned to be a boss on Phazon Mines in Metroid Prime, but sadly due to time contrait he got cut.

I’m playing Fusion for the first time thanks to NSO and having a blast!

Metroid Prime Trilogy should come with the pinball.

15 best??? I didn’t even know there were 15!

My order of the top half is Prime 1, Super, Dread, Zero Mission, Prime 3, Fusion, Prime 2. It's so funny how much people complain about the Artifacts in Prime 1. The artifacts give players freedom in a smarter way than most realize. You can play the game by trying to find them as you go, or by finding them in chunks, or waiting til the end to find them all at once. You can skip past the Artifacts room and not even know they were something you needed until way later in the game (with hints turned off, of course). Or you can b-line for them and scour the world for only what you need to get them as you go. The game doesn't insult your intelligence; it puts the onus on the players to track what they need to advance in each area since the previous time they got stuck. It's a brilliant system that adds a challenge of replaying the game faster, something Super Metroid gets praised for (and deservedly so), but Prime somehow gets criticized for.

That was a tremendous video, Jon

The instant I saw Super Metroid in a video game store at North Park Mall in Davenport, Iowa - I was ecstatic, and I begged my stepdad to buy it for me. I knew nothing about it. I was absolutely right. 9 years old was a great time in my life!

Call me weird but my fav is Fusion because of the horror atmosphere and nostalgia factor since it was my first one.

I missed The Prime series, now I am waiting for an HD rerelease to dip my toes in.

7:01 Exactly what I was thinking. The first game gives me cozy vibes, especially with that black background and not so intense soundtrack

1. Super 2. Prime 3. Dread 4. Prime 3 5. Prime 2 6. Fusion 7. Samus Returns 8. Zero Mission 9. Hunters 10. Other M 11. Federation 12. Pinball 13. Return of Samus 14. Original

I'm such a sporadic gamer... Prime Hunters was the only prime I played, I've played Fusion and now I'm playing Dread and LOVING IT

Just finished Dread and it was great but Super Metroid is always going to be #1. Long live the queen.

I agree, Federation Force at the bottom feels very undeserved. It's better than Prime Hunters and Other M.

I haven’t played the Prime trilogy yet because I don’t usually play first person shooters, but I’m considering getting it on my Wii U to prepare for Prime 4.

I tried getting into Super Metroid, but I just don’t like it. Maybe I’m just a shitty gamer, but I just kept getting lost and confused, and wasn’t enjoying it. I bought Dread on the other hand, and absolutely fell in love with it. I loved the exploration, the combat felt great, Music great, visuals great, story really cool, emmi zones ramped the tension up super high, and the boss battles were absolutely outstanding.

I like how 11 of those games are still really loved, that's impressive. Its like they have problems but the games are still really enjoyable.

The combat in Metroid prime 2 is my absolute favorite besides dread

Dread may not be the best, but it’s so close to it and it’s exactly what this community needed to drop out of nowhere while we all wait for a sliver of news about Prime 4. It took all the best elements of previous 2D Metroid games and put them all together.

Fusion will always be my Favourite Metroid Game ♥️

I’ve only played Super Metroid, Metroid Dread and Samus Returns , love all of them and I’m stoked for Prime.

omg that stash is amazing Jon

I agree, Super Metroid is the best metroid game ever, WE NEED a really good remake, longer, with more story and harder bosses!

Underrated is definitely Metroid Prime pinball.

Good video. You should've mentioned the graphical downgrade in Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii) vs. the Gamecube originals

Bestboi Jon coming in with the god-tier Metroid NES take

I wonder what spot AM2R would be?
