    What a great retrospective! I am totally with you on that feeling that I missed out when I was younger. I may have to go back and try these out now. I remember beating one back in my SNES days.

    Only 500 views? That's criminal. This was an excellent retrospective.
    My favorite Metroid is definitely the Nes game. Moreso than Super Metroid, which I played a lot more as a teenager.
    I dislike playing Zero Mission. It seems like a way more linear experience on top of the game flow getting interrupted by the mandatory stealth section towards the end. That really breaks up the pacing of an otherwise good game.

    • @Nerdporeal
      @Nerdporeal  Рік тому +1

      I truly appreciate the kind words. The algorithm is weird about this. My Ocarina and Mario RPG retrospectives blew up a little months after the upload. Super Metroid is the GOAT imo. That's cool you like og Metroid though.

    Tragically, this series has historically tanked in Japan and has done marginally well in the US, so the teams at Nintendo probably don't have the same drive into this series as they do Mario and Zelda.

    • @Nerdporeal
      @Nerdporeal  Рік тому

      Yeah true. If there's no Mobile suits or Giant robots i guess. Not sure why it never took off in Japan.

    43:35 I'ma be honest, the video was fine until this part, you're basically saying you don't know why it's called Metroid-Vania in the 1st place, and just acknowledges the Metroid part of the games because it's the easier one to notice, even tho a bunch of things in these kind of games were inspired by Symphony of the Night and later Castlevania entries

    • @Nerdporeal
      @Nerdporeal  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for the comment.
      Symphony of the Night, to me, simply drew from Super Metroid. RPG elements an exception. I love Symphony of the Night but it isnt really genre defining like Metroid was imo.
