"Before the release of the first Metroid Prime in 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube, alongside the release of Metroid Fusion for the Game Boy Advanced, the Metroid franchise was left to stagnate after Super Metroid in 1994 on the Super Nintendo. While the series femme fatale Samus Aran might have had a few cameos in other Nintendo games during that time – Smash Brothers for the Nintendo 64 the most notable example – her own adventures traveling the cosmos and shooting-up Space Pirates were neglected for eight years."
With the Wiimote as your Arm Cannon, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a motion control revolution.
From Xfire: "Is Super Metroid still as super as it once was in 1994? If not, which Metroid game is better than the influential title?"
I look forward to the day any game beats that Super, Metroid or not.
Hollow Knight come damn near close to knocking Super Metroid from the top of my list, that’s a huge achievement for such a small team.
The problem for me is I’ve been waiting for a 2D Metroid that beats Super but I don’t think I’ll ever see that day. I still play the original 1-2 times a year and a few randomiser plays.
Fully agree with the list and all points it makes for each game. I’m expecting Dread to fit in the middle of that list but I’m happy to be wrong about that.

I prefer Prime 2 over this if you ask me, still a great game. Love the series hope for a new metroid on the WiiU!
i love all three games in this trilogy... all of them 9 of 10 minimum
I have super shaky hands and I never had any problems playing this game. All you had to do was aim from the hip, holding the controller up was unnecessary and just makes the controls feel worse. Anyway I love this trilogy, for how awesome it was and for bringing metroid back after 8 years. Each game in the trilogy was its own unique experience, while still fitting together as whole really nicely.
