Article: Forget Nostalgia, Super Metroid Was Embarrassingly Easy

[S.Peelman]

Metroid Fusion is way harder yes, but Super Metroid wasn't "embarrassingly easy".

The game's difficulty didn't lie in combat and the enemies though I agree with that at least, save for some of the bosses, but in the exploration and the isolation. Having a game where you don't die that often doesn't necessarily mean it's an easy game.
