Since this community is new I wanted to spark some discussion.

I’ve been a fan for years and used to frequent forums for the series back in the day. I learned about Metroid from a friend back when I was in elementary school (probably around 2004-2006 I honestly can’t remember). I played Fusion and eventually Zero Mission on my GBA.

When I was in middle school I learned about Super Metroid ROM Hacks and watched tons of let’s plays of them back then. Eventually I got Super Metroid myself on Wii VC and got to play a bit myself.

After that I didn’t branch out too much. I only really played Prime 1 and did play AM2R when that released. I still enjoy coming back to the series though.

What’s your experience?

    I first saw Metroid on the NES at my cousin’s house and thought it was a very cool looking game. I think I must have been 7 or so? We got our own copy some time later and I remember getting stuck a lot. It was hard with no map!

    Many years later I read about the upcoming Super Metroid game coming to SNES in my GamePro magazine and I remember renting it as soon as it was available. Amazing game, got stuck around where there was a deep hole and you had to wall jump your way out like a creature showed you. Bought it soon after that and beat it, been a fan since then. 🙂
