There absolutely is such a thing as being more Metroid. The series has devolved. Saying there's too much platforming in a platformer is a joke. It's not a problem; it's a core mechanic. If you don't like platforming, you shouldn't be playing Metroid. The collect-a-thon in every Prime was terrible, not just the first one. The temple keys in 2 were just as bad, for example.

And it wasn't "fixed" in the sequel. Fusion had just as much platforming as Super. 

I did them in half an hour. Get better. ;)

Platforming is for 2D games, not for first person games. Read my post again.

Super Metroid didn't even sell that well and Nintendo still had a big fanbase then. It's another overrated classic.

Both Fusion and Zero Mission are better than Super Metroid anyway.

No, it´s a very underrated classic, that´s why doesn´t have epic sales, because it should be almost at Zelda levels. Sorry but I have to disagree, I´ve played Super Metroid 3 times, the first time was like 3 years ago, and I love it everytime. The gba metroids have better controls, but not better atmosphere, Super Metroid is creepy and makes you feel very lonely, like a good space terror movie , is impressive for a snes game, is not overrated imo.
