The Metroid fanbase is the most one of the most insular, intolerant, socially inept, circle-jerking groups in all of gaming. To the overwhelming majority of it, Super Metroid is Jesus, and nothing will ever compare. The original Metroid Prime is the only worthy successor, and the base is split on which of the two MP sequels is the second best Prime after that. One camp prefers MP2 because it is the most "Metroidy" of the three games in terms of gameplay while MP3 is the most linear, the other prefers MP3 because it opens up the worldbuilding, plot and NPC relationships a bit more, along with some cool Wiimote things that weren't available for the other two until the Prime Trilogy for Wii. I'm in the MP3 camp.
But getting back to Super Metroid. It's a masterpiece of a game, for sure. But just like with Citizen Kane, Sienfeld, The Simpsons and Super Mario Bros., if you weren't there for the dawn of it, then it's not going to blow your face off. Don't let anyone in this forum or anywhere else overhype the game to oblivion for you.

So the Metroid fanbase is one of the most insular, intolerant, socially inept, circle-jerking groups in all of gaming... because they have different tastes? Wow, that is truly a horrible thing to have.
As for Super Metroid, it really is Jesus, and no I wasn't there for the dawn of it, I played it for the first time in 2014 and it holds up so well it hardly felt like I was playing a 20-year old game at all.

I hope he never finds out about the Zelda or Fire Emblem fanbases if he thinks Metroid fans are intolerant of opinions. Probably go into shock as soon as he opens up a Skyward Sword or Fates related thread.
