Hi all!
I’m a huge (if recent) Metroid fan. I discovered the franchise a few years ago with Fusion and right about that time Dread was announced so I was instantly hooked. If you’re here, you probably know the rest. Since I left that other platrform I sorely miss my daily metroid fix and since there was no metroid community (that I could find at least) on lemmy I decided to create one!
There are no specific rule regarding the content of the posts other than they have to be metroid related (duh), but there are rules about the way we interact with each other. Basically just the stuff that makes you a decent human being: no homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, ableism, etc…
Just be nice to each other and build a great community.
Let’s begin

Hello. Metroid Fusion was also my first Metroid game, which I played through Retro Arch. I’m in the process of playing through the rest of the series starting with zero mission, and then playing AM2R next. Have you played them all?
Fusion was also my first, but I played it on the GBA. I still have my original cart for it and will sometimes play it on a modded GBA. Although having it on my hacked 3DS is also convenient too.
As for Zero Mission and AM2R, both are fun. Zero Mission is a bit hand holdy for the first playthrough, but if you explore a bit or look up guides you can ignore the waypoints and sequence break the game. AM2R is fairly linear because of the nature of Metroid 2, but that doesn’t detract from it being one of my favorite Metroid experiences.
