      Dude! I know. I’m so excited. I absolutely love the franchise. Metroid Dread was also an absolute banger.

        I had so much fun with dread earlier this year. It motivated me to buy and mod an original GBA so I could finally beat the copy of Fusion I’ve had since I was a kid. That really got the ball rolling on me finishing as many Metroids as I can ahead of Prime 4. I think I’ve finished 4-5 now. Still haven’t done Super Metroid, which everyone tells me is the best, but I’m a snob and I want to get a Super Nintendo controller to play it with.

          Nice! Yeah, I’ve played all the Metroids except for Other M. You will not be disappointed with Super Metroid.

            Not surprised you skipped other M. I haven’t heard a single good thing about that one

              I’ll pop in and say the mechanics of pointing the wiimote at the screen from using it as a horizontal controller in order to go into a first person mode was kina fun. It was also the (first?) Metroid game to use the parrying system that was also used in Dread, which is super satisfying. It also had a boss fight that was a near direct reference to one of the Alien movies, which was original inspiration for Metroid. But the story sucked, and I think we have all rightfully retconned it, as Samus is an awesome bounty hunter, not a lame little baby.

    Such clean lines and effective shading. I’m in grey scale mode on my phone so at first I thought this was a photo of a metallic miniature. Really impressive work.
