You don't get to tell me my hate is overblown when you clearly weren't a fan like I am. Especially when your post clearly shows you have zero clue about... well, anything to do with the series in general.
EDIT: Hell, Fusion and Zero Mission, even Hunters, were the arguable 'bad games in a good series', even if they were good and just bad by Super Metroid standards. And Metroid 2 doesn't really hold up in modern times, nor does Metroid... really Metroid as a series revolves around Super Metroid and the Primes, and I'm not much of a fan of the Primes. Other M looked at the poor qualities of those 'bad games in a good series' and said 'I CAN DO BETTER'
And by god, it did better in being so much worse.
