If I was trapped on an island and only could have 1 game with me until the end of time, it would be Super Metroid.

For me, the greatest Metroidvanias are:
1) Super Metroid
2) Ori Will of the Wisps
3) Castlevania SotN

I hear that people who hate Super Metroid dont get into heaven btw.

For a fucking idiot your taste is pretty legit tho

Maybe bloodstained should replace ori but eh

Super Metroid and the OG Metroid are way better than all the other Metroids. Freakin millennials.

For what it's worth, I thought Fusion was fantastic, but I haven't played it since GBA SP 20 years ago. I also love SOTN, but I really thought Dread was really meh. The map design and EMMIs were trash TBH

Let's look at Chrono Trigger or Super Mario World or A Link to the Past as games from that era to play today. They simply haven't aged and are just as good to play today as its counterparts in the genre.

Super Metroid doesn't hold the test of time in the Metroidvania department…

It's hard to divorce my feelings on Super Metroid from nostalgia because I remember how amazing and groundbreaking it was when it first came out. I've got an SNES in my garage and I still boot up those games you mentioned from time to time, and I have to agree that Metroid doesn't hold up as well. Still a great game, still fun to play, but I don't think it's a contender for "best game in its genre" in the way that Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger or A Link to the Past are. Cheers

I generally don't replay Metroidvanias except symphony of the night.
