Level: -3 / Editor ludist210 I'd shuffle the Primes (I was 2 > 1 > 3, but they were all pretty close in terms of how much I enjoyed them), but otherwise, I agree. Good going, Negative World!



(And I never got lost in Metroid 2 from what I remember) Posted: Level: -3 / Editor Mop it up I didn't even know there were ten Metroid games, but here we are. I can't really argue with this list, the things I would change are only one slot. I would swap MP3 with MP2, and Fusion with Zero Mission. I'd probably put Other M above Metroid II, but maybe not NES Metroid. I have never played Hunters so I can't comment on that one. Posted: Level: -4 / Moderator DrFinkelstein Super Metroid, then the Prime Trilogy? I can live with that. But I'd swap 2 and 1 IMO... Posted: Level: -2 / Contributor nate38 I'm extremely disappointed by this list! There's nothing offensive about it at all! Now what am I supposed to curse about? Posted: Level: -5 / Site owner Zero You can complain about me not counting Metroid Prime Pinball. Which would have beaten out Hunters for the #10 spot, actually... Posted: Level: -2 / Contributor deathly_hallows @nate38

I'm offended! Metroid Prime 3 is way too high, and Fusion, Zero Mission, and Metroid are way too low, this is all backwards! I'm offended!

Well I dunno, aggregate smagregate. Here is the correct order!



1. Fusion

2. Super Metroid

3. Prime 1

4. Zero Mission

5. Metroid

6. Metroid 2

7. Prime 2

8. Hunters

9. Other M

10. Prime 3



If we're counting Pinball I'd place it after Other M but before Prime 3. I love pinball, it's amazing, but it's still just pinball! Well I dunno, aggregate smagregate. Here is the correct order!1.

Oh yeah, the whole control thing. Weird. Doubly weird considering that Hunters wasn't dual analog either... Posted: - Edited by Zero on: Level: -2 / Contributor deathly_hallows @Zero

The stylus/touch screen aiming worked wonderfully! (it just gave you hand-cramps... worth it!) The stylus/touch screen aiming worked wonderfully! (it just gave you hand-cramps... worth it!)

Fusion was pretty awesome, no doubt about that. Fusion was pretty awesome, no doubt about that. Posted: Level: -2 / Contributor Pokefreak911 I liked this list till I saw the position of Metroid Fusion. Posted: Level: -2 / Contributor chrisbg99 I'd personally put Metroid Prime at the top over Super Metroid but that is almost because that is the Metroid that got me hooked to the series. Super Metroid for whatever reason didn't click with me back in '94 but has since become one of my three favorite SNES games. Posted: Level: -3 / Editor Shadowlink Swap Zero Mission and Super. Then all will be well. Posted: Level: -3 / Editor kriswright I'm a big booster of Prime 3. Damn, that's a fine game. I don't understand you guys who get cranky about it.



Super belongs at the top. And I preferred Fusion to Zero Mission.



Looking pretty good, though. We know our Metroid 'round here.



But if this list was really in the spirit of Metroid, we'd have to scan for the results. And we could read the list in any order. Posted: - Edited by kriswright on: Level: -2 / Contributor deathly_hallows @Shadowlink

I agree, it's splitting hairs because I think Super, Fusion, and Zero Mission are all damn-near perfect 10s, but if you take the nostalgia factor out of the equation the GBA games have much better controls/movement, they're just more refined.

Agreed on the controls. I played Metroid Fusion first, so when I got around to (finally) playing Super Metroid, Samus felt all...slow and kind of floaty. And because of that, the game as a whole just seemed a bit "off" - for lack of a better word. Still totally playable though, and still great enough to still be enjoyed years later. But not quite as refined as the GBA game, as you said. Agreed on the controls.

Posted: - Edited by GameDadGrant on: Level: -2 / Contributor deathly_hallows Speaking of Metroid on handhelds, how would you guys feel about Metroid Prime being released on the 3DS?



They could enhance it and pretty up the graphics, make Samus all shiny and normal-mappy and stuff, controls could be "legacy" (same as GCN), "stylus" (similar to Hunters), or "dual analog" (using the CPP), that way everyone could play how they like and everyone wins.



What say you? Isn't this the best idea ever? Why has it not happened? Who is to blame? Iwata? Should I throw a brick through his window?



But seriously, playing Batman Blackgate has made me realize how fun and perfectly suited the 3DS is for a game like this. Explore, solve puzzles, be dazzled and oohed by the beauty and majesty. I think it would be amazing.



Aaaahhhhhh I'm dying for a handheld Metroid, it's been soooooo long. Posted: Level: -3 / Editor Jargon Metroid (NES) is far too low. Forger how it's aged (not nearly as poorly as many claim) and consider the path it paved. Posted:
