Apparently I'm out of the loop. People consider Metroid Dread a bad game now? It's like the second best game on switch after BOTW.

I'm playing Metroid Fusion now on Switch 2 lol. Just past getting the ice missle.

How does that one rate in the pantheon? It is really tight to me. Nothing wasted.

Go back and --

OP certainly psyched me out

Very good game, given the platform and the time when it was released.

Wall jumping is terrible, though. And the last part of the game (during the final two bosses) was a bit annoying.

Dammit. I thought there had finally been someone on GAF who feels as strongly as I do about how Super Metroid's aged like milk (maybe there is somebody I'm forgetting; I'm sorry). Pretty concretely #9 of 13 on my personal list.

Samus controls like a pregnant cow (not my words but I'm stealing them), you can't reinitiate screw attack outside of a normal jump if you ever drop a somersault input (which is awkward), long bomb jumping chains are also awkward, shinesparking consumes health. And that's all just on the control side. So many of these rooms are long corridors with no variation - I'm looking at you, Norfair. The map's not nearly as sophisticated as today's maps, not indicating which upgrades you've picked up or if there are multiple in a room. There's that stupid, fucking one way drop in the water level. I just reread my list I linked to and my complaints are identical lol

Funnily that's how I feel about SotN.

Also I disagree about the shoulder button complaints. Changing it to holding down to shoot missiles is one of the most cumbersome control choices in my book. The GBA games in particular could have used those buttons for diagonal aim lock.

Nintendo will hopefully make a Super Metroid Remake for the Nintendo Switch 2!!!

The lack of doors in the map is annoying.

Also the glass tube puzzle makes no sense.
