It's one of Nintendo's smaller games, but I was a little surprised to discover that many people have never even heard of Metroid before.

I would like to see what people on this forum think. Have you never heard of Metroid before? Have you heard of it, but don't quite know what it is? Have you heard of it, but have never played it? Or have you played it?

You might be unfamiliar with how low the sales numbers of Metroid games are compared to Nintendo's other franchises. Only two Metroid games have ever sold above 2 million, and none have sold above 3 million.Nintendo has had 36 games that have sold above 10 million, 80 games that have sold above 5 million, and 143 games that have sold above the highest selling Metroid game.
