They are quite difficult but that goes back to the Ninendo and SNES days. The Metroid franchise has never been a Mario type of game that almost anybody can play and beat. Hell, you'll be dying several times on the last bosses for Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion as well. I have played and beat every Metroid game except MP3.... I'll be beating MP3 this holiday season when I finally pick up a Wii. And yes, Ive read on many reviews that they tweeked the difficulty down for MP3.
