I guess I'll be the only one that didn't like Super Metroid.

I need to know why. 

1) I'm quite terrible at 2D Metroid games, the boss fights in particular.

2) I didn't like the artstyle used at all. I know it's a SNES game, but it's very ugly for me. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island has a great artsyle and still looks good today. I like the artsyle of Fusion and Zero Mission a lot better (GBA is of course 32 bit, so more powerful).

3) I found the whole world layout confusing and the underwater area was obnoxious. I know Metroid is about exploration, but Zero Mission handled it much better in my opinion. You knew the general area where you needed to head to and the rest was up to you. In Super Metroid there's nothing like that.

4) I played it on the Wii emulator... Playing such games on a big TV is no fun to me. Would have been better if I tried it on the Wii U with the gamepad to play on. The Wii mote wasn't exactly a good controller for it either. Or did I use the GC controller for it? I don't know anymore tbh.
