I had a chance to beat every Metroid again before Prime 4 came out. I personally think outside of Prime Pinball, there isn't a "bad" Metroid game. Other M has ambitious gameplay with a terrible story, so I am not judging narrativeMy first Metroid was Fusion, took my a while to 100% as I found it difficult at 9 years old, but it was worth it. It's funny how Nintendo can't sell anything space or alien related. People are too obsessed with bing bing wahoo and pokeslop. .
>>738292491Fusion, prime 4, and other M are all bad. Federation force probably isnt good either but I didnt bother playing it. I think it's odd that you single out pinball when its a harmless pinball skin. Calling metroid Nintendo's best series is laughable, there are more metroid games with bad/mediocre exploration now than good. Imagine if most mario games had bad platforming, that's metroid.
>>738292491>Nintendo's best seriesMario, obviously
What's a Metroid? It doesn't exist. Everyone knows Nintendo only has Zelda, Mario, and Animal Crossing. Other games don't exist.
>>738292491It being a prestige series is probably why it's still getting games. Anything not colorful/cartoony or anime will scare off the average tendie.
>>738292491Excuse me? Pinball was a fantastic pinball game.
>>738292491If by "ambitious" you mean "nonsensical", then sure, it has that in spades
>>738292491Metroid is one of the few nintendo franchises that's more popular in the west than in japan.
>>738292779Least deranged Super Metroid neckbeard

>>738294997>Anything not colorfulpeak metroid was colorful as a clowns underwear.
>>738292491>It's funny how Nintendo can't sell anything space or alien relatedSuper Mario RPG.
>>738295554that's ZM/super/prime 1/prime 2 neckbeard to you>>738295739pretty sure IGN gave prime 4 and fusion good scores
>>738294997metroid hasn't had a "prestigious" release in over 20 years (not counting prime remaster or prime trilogy obviously)
>>738292491>super mario galaxy>kirby series>pikmin
She killed billions
Metroid Fusion is based and valid
>>738298895This ad was so fucking coolThey shouldn't have spoiled SA-X in it though
I've tried getting into this series thrice, and failed every time. There's just something off-putting about it.
>>738299293What did you play
>>738298992It's been forever but iirc SA-X shows up pretty quick in Fusion?
