Since this community is new I wanted to spark some discussion.
I’ve been a fan for years and used to frequent forums for the series back in the day. I learned about Metroid from a friend back when I was in elementary school (probably around 2004-2006 I honestly can’t remember). I played Fusion and eventually Zero Mission on my GBA.
When I was in middle school I learned about Super Metroid ROM Hacks and watched tons of let’s plays of them back then. Eventually I got Super Metroid myself on Wii VC and got to play a bit myself.
After that I didn’t branch out too much. I only really played Prime 1 and did play AM2R when that released. I still enjoy coming back to the series though.
What’s your experience?
I’m 31 years old. My first Metroid games were Prime and Fusion, back when they first came out. Metroid was always my favorite series when I was a kid. After suffering through the dark ages following Other M, I’m so glad the series is finally back and relevant again.
