The definitive version of the original game! Handles really well if memory serves me right, and isn't anywhere near as hard as Dread. Zero Mission and Fusion are fantastic.

And if you still want to play the original, it's unlockable with save functionality.

Zero Mission and Fusion were too hand-holdy for me. It was kind of annoying being told where to go and how to get there.

[–] feedmecontent 5 points 4 months ago

In zero mission it's more of a suggestion. There's a non-glitch Ridley before kraid route iirc.

ZM tells you where to go, but it definitely doesn't tell you how to get there. There are usually multiple routes, some easy and some extremely difficult.

Fusion starts that way and I was thinking the same at first but it opens up after an hour or two.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Really? Fusion stops holding your hand around the time you get to sector 4, but it's strictly linear until you're literally about to go fight the final boss--the game explicitly blocks you from backtracking to areas that aren't immediately plot-relevant.

Fusion was awesome so this is going to be fantastic 😍

[–] Shardikprime 2 points 4 months ago

Holy shit guys I started playing and it's as awesome as I thought

Really glad about this one. I never finished the original Metroid, but loved Super Metroid and Dread, so going to try and finish this one.

Yeah, I've been wanting to play it on original hardware, but the prices are excessive. Will probably end up playing it on Nintendo Online.
