Basically the title, one of the things I will miss the most ok Reddit will be r/metroid and it doesn’t look like there anything similar in the Fediverse. Prove me wrong?

      I’m going to be in the same shoes soon. I just bought a switch finally and started my play through of the remaster of the first one and they really hit it out of the park with it. I hope they follow up with the other two soon.

    Yeah I love Metroid! I prefer the 3D games - Metroid Prime Hunters is one that I don’t hear much about but it was my first Metroid game and I remember having a blast with it. I played the original Metroid Prime recently (Primehack, not the remaster). Really incredible level design. I need to get round to playing 2 and 3!

    Of the 2D games, I did enjoy Fusion and Dread. More than anything I love the genre it inspired - Hollow Knight for example is near perfect.

    Metroid is based! The first one I played all the way through was Metroid Prime 3, but have also played much of Prime 1 (not the remaster) and more recently played Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid II with a color mod, and Super Metroid. Super Metroid is one of the best games I’ve ever played, it’s truly incredible, though in a way Metroid II might be my second favorite 2D Metroid I’ve played so far.

    I was playing Metroid Prime on my Steam Deck but haven’t picked up for a few months and sort of questioning if I should play the remaster or continue with my current save file on my Steam Deck. As far as 2D, I intend on playing Metroid Fusion next, and then Dread.

    Hell yeah! I still think about Metroid Prime every now and then. That’s an adventure that sticks with you.

    … although I wouldn’t mind forgetting the fully-voice buddy characters from 3.

    Definitely. I played Fusion as a kid and it’s been one of my favorite series since. I’m still working on finishing the Prime Remaster, I got sidetracked by TotK. But I can’t wait for Prime 4.

    I like the saga as a concept, because sadly never played any of the games seriously, I mean, I have do some quick sessions of Metroid Zero Mission or Fusion back in the days, but I have never actually completed a single Metroid game.

    What I used to do a ton was playing Metroid Prime Hunters online in the DS, the gameplay made me fell in love with it and it was by far the quickest first person shooter game of those days, luckily we can still play the game nowadays thanks to the custom servers.

    Not at all current… But i dusted off a retro-pi i made a few years back over the weekend, and started playing Super Metroid. This game is pretty damn old, and a masterpiece of design… I cannot get over how well they nailed the music, stylized graphics, and overall “sense of place”… It is a fine fine game.
