Not even best in the series. Metroid Prime is amazing though but Super was dated time consuming mediocore nonsense

Sure, Super Metroid is probably overrated, but calling it worse than Prime is an insult none of the main series releases deserve.

The Prime trilogy are the best Metroid games, so...

People who harp on super metroid are usually just too stupid to do simple things like wall jumping and call it bad because of their own shortcomings.

It's the only one I feel truly free playing with all the early shit you can get from being good at the game. I'm really fond of it.

Dated is one of the last few words I would use to describe Super Metroid. My first time playing it was on the Wii Virtual Console and it surprised me by how well it holds up.

I liked Fusion and Prime more, and honestly ZM too. The main thing Ill give Super is primacy - it came first and practically fixed everything lacking or annoying about the first two Metroid games.

But with both Super and ZM, youll always see a lot of peeps talking up those games non linearity - this when the main people who can truly take advantage of that are top tier speed runners of the games.

I played Super, ZM and Fusion all for the first time within the past six months, and I disagree with so many things said in this topic. Super Metroid is great, and it's clearly better than ZM or Fusion. Also, I had very limited experience with Metroid or similar series/games before playing those, so I don't think I'm biased towards it.

Can't say anything on Prime yet.

The Primes represent a clear genre shift. It is entirely possible to like the other games better for genre/gameplay related reasons other than just nostalgia.

For SM, while moves like horizontal bomb jumps are hell to do, there are various ways to sequence break the game that don't require being a speed runner. You're overstating the difficulty of a lot of sequence breaks.

I can't comment on ZM as I don't have enough experience with it to comment on the sequence breaks.

What, are you pretending to be new here? I said every game that has had any bit of popularity gets the "overrated" tag here.

And then you said tc doesnt even know what the word means, so I want to know the correct definition

Tell me something that is overrated and why it means more than him saying super Metroid is overrated

And no, I am not new here

Love super Metroid and still play it every so often even today. Dated? That game was the sheet when it came out in 94? And it still holds up today. Dumb topic.

I could see maybe (maybe) the gameplay being overrated. it was never really that hard, and it's hard to see how it could be much harder without ruining it. the gameplay is not really rich enough for tons of difficulty.

but the atmosphere... *that* is not overrated. I haven't actually played most of the other Metroid games besides the Prime trilogy, but otherwise no game I have ever seen comes anywhere close to capturing this concept of exploring the bowels of an alien planet.

the whole idea of wearing a super-suit that lets you explore lava and acid filled caverns near the core of a planet is just amazing. the Prime games didn't really capture that concept quite as well from what I remember.

Completely disagree. The atmosphere is what made the prime games great. Super metroid had great atmosphere too but I feel like prime delivered in that aspect just as well as SM

IMO it is but only because I think Metroid Prime gets underrated as a result of it. I would put MP a bit ahead but Super Metroid is still fun.

I wasn't saying MP didn't have atmosphere, it definitely does. It just mostly takes place on the surface of the planet and you spend most of your time avoiding the environmental hazards, not descending into them. (it is possible I'm not remembering MP properly. also 2D VS 3D could have something to do with it, too, where in 2D up and down very visibly indicate traveling toward and away from the surface; in 3D/1st-person that's not so straight forwardly conveyed).

SM you just keep getting deeper and deeper and deeper within the bowels of the planet, till the walls are rippling with heat and the creatures are nigh-indestructible having evolved in such a harsh environment. there are rooms with like 100+ foot deep lava and acid, and you descend into it.

what I'd like to see is *more* of that "here I am in an unfathomably harsh environment, with only this suit between me and immediate death", but the MP trilogy had less of it, not more of it.

My biggest problems with the Prime games were the lack of platforming and the single-analog controls (the latter was improved by the Wii Trilogy port).
