As a child of the 4th gen who still considers the SNES the greatest console ever made, I really don't get the hype for Super Metroid.

It has a built in tutorial that didn't feel like a tutorial. You explore a beautiful, expansive, immense, and atmospheric alien world. The gameplay is great and keeps you wanting more via upgrades and secrets. The story is impactful despite being simplistic. It is the merger of good game design, with good setting design, and good gameplay. What confuses you? 

The controls and shooting mechanics for one. Aiming diagonally was a chore, and enemies often moved in way that made them very awkward to hit. The button layout felt unintuitive to me.
