Lens of Truth writes - "In what will definitely be the easiest Retro Review of all time, we bring you Super Metroid – possibly the greatest video game ever made. That’s right, ever made. Don’t believe us? Come inside and get geared up for our heroes 8th adventure, as well as a retro schooling from Samus company in our latest Retro Review."
"30 years after its launch, however, Super Metroid for the SNES remains the undisputed king of the franchise in terms of its atmosphere and tone. " - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife
Fusion did a great job at it. Really love that horror feel with metroid. I mean you are completely alone on alien planets filled with horrific monsters and toxic environments.
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
Awesome game, in fact, one of the best ever!
Still play this game from time to time. It's still impressive. Does anyone know if you can download this on the Wii? I guess i could google it
I wish they still made games like this, the last one I could think of is Batman Arkham Asylum. You know, find a new item and head back to a spot where you know you need that item. I guess I love backtracking...as long as its done right!
Epic final boss, with a twist!
Great Game!
