Maybe, but I beat Metroid 1 without a strategy guide in I believe 20-30 minutes when I was 13 and Metroid Prime released (had the GBA-GCN cable, which unlocked Metroid 1 when you own Prime and Fusion).

Your first time?  Are you sure you are remembering right?  The best speed runs I could find are right in that 20 - 30 minute range (http://speeddemosarchive.com/Metroid.html).  And that is for people that know exactly what to do.  It is very easy to get lost in that game, so a first time play through would take hours and hours.

I had a map LOL, maybe it was 30-40 minutes, and I skipped a boss, but still.

I dunno, I think NES might have just been before my time. I think a lot of NES games would have made excellent hand held games, and GB ports/sequels are amazing. Link's Awakening, Metroid 2, Wario Land/Super Mario Land, etc. All great. I just need saves in my games, especially for a game as long as Super Mario Bros.
