IGN: The 10 Best Metroid Games Ever Made

Metroid Dread is an evolution of the series; thank goodness it's not a tedious exploration with absurd backtracking and obscure sections. People who find "getting lost" fun can go play Hollow Knight.
 
1. Super
2. Fusion
3. Return of Samus
4. Zero Mission
5. Other M
6. Prime 1
7. Prime 3
8. Prime 2
9. Samus Returns
10. Dread
11. Metroid

Dread is OK. It gets a lot right with control and action, but the map is not very interesting. Other M is a mostly awesome game if you can look past some of the awkward dialogue and plot contrivances. GB Metroid II makes amazing use of the hardware (especially audio) to create a tense atmosphere. OG Metroid is still cool but I have a tough time going back to it these days.
 
It really sucks that Prime 2 and 3 aren't available for modern consoles, especially with 4 about to be released.

When Nintendo released the Prime 1 remaster, I was hoping they would follow it up with 2 & 3 before releasing Prime 4. There's a whole generation of gamers who will pick up Prime 4 having never played the original Prime trilogy.
Same I have no idea what the idea was for the prime one remaster but nothing else
