I recently played through the 2D Metroids and had a great time.

This was my first time replaying Super Metroid in a few years. After Zero Mission and AM2R (I played the remakes), I was surprised at just how floaty everything is in Super Metroid. Jump, wait a while, land, shoot... I love the atmosphere and exploration of Super but the slow movement took a bit of getting used to.

What are you playing? Have you found games to feel a little different than you remember?

I was really impressed with AM2R. Great controls and movement; atmospheric in the same way as Super. It really feels as if you're exploring a planet. One of the best Metroids.

Agreed. The Fusion mode was also fun.

I agree with you about Nintendo's handling of the situation. They had the opportunity to embrace the product of the community's love for Metroid. Instead, they tried to smother it.

I have played Dread and I would say it's the best 2D Metroid. If you can find a used version for sale, it may be worth checking out.
