It's been a long time since I've played NES Metroid, but it's still my favorite out of the Metroid games I've played. The other games just feel different for some reason. I like the feel of the original.
Also everything said in the OP makes me want to try Hollow Knight. If it's like original Metroid, then I'll probably really like it.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
