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 in my 30s and played my first Metroid game when I was 11. That was when Prime came out out on the GameCube. Everyone knew it was something special just from the demo at Walmart. I rented the game and got hooked. Bought it shortly after. From there I downloaded a GBA emulator to play the Gameboy games. Then bought every Metroid Title to date.

    My favorite 2D Metroid is probably the NES original followed by it’s successor Metroid 2.

    My favorite 3D title is Echos and it’s not even close. Probably my favorite video game of all time.
