Hey sweet a Metroid love-in! How did I miss this? I remember when I first finished Super as a kid....by the time I actually stopped running around randomly and got around to beating the final boss I had racked up about 24 hours playtime. Pretty good effort for a kid. Somehow I also managed to beat Metroid 2, although I probably would have had a lot of help from big brother.
I'd love to see a new sidescrolling Metroid game on 3DS. All the different layers popping out, could look amazing.
Wondering what game to play in the series now. Go back to the original? Maybe a run through Zero Mission? Been a while since I finished Echoes...hmm.
Also, is this Samus avatar taken?
Will snap that up like a seagull to a hot chip if it's free.
Also, well done on a terrific OP. What a great series.
