      Just wanted to say, you have a great username. Super Metroid is greatest game ever made, and Metroid is the greatest game series ever made.

        Thanks! Agreed. Wish another 2D one as good had come after it. We don’t talk about Other M, and Dread was too focused on twitch action rather than exploration. Metroid Prime’s been carrying the torch.

          Other M is trash but I personally loved Dread, especially since the devs didn’t patch out speed running tricks and sequence breaks like retro does. Still refuse to play any version of metroid prime except for the OG 2002 release on gamecube since a lot of things got patched out in the players choice, trilogy and remastered versions.

          Still all Metroid is great!

          There are so many gems hidden in there - e.g. lycanthropy:

          It seems what’s left of my human side Is slowly changing in me (Will you give in to me?) Looking at my own reflection When suddenly it changes Violently it changes (oh no) There is no turning back now You’ve woken up the demon in me

          or zombiism:

          I can see inside you, the sickness is rising Don’t try to deny what you feel (Will you give in to me?) It seems that all that was good has died And is decaying in me (Will you give in to me?) It seems you’re having some trouble In dealing with these changes Living with these changes (oh no)

          And Eldritchian horror where instead of bring about insanity, he seems to get saner the deeper you get into the song…:

          don’t hit me Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy? Don’t do it, you’re hurting me … I don’t need this shit
