I might use it. If I had an online subscription. I refuse to pay them for doing so little so bad.

As for Metroid (NES)... is only fun if you know what you're doing before starting. I played Zero Mission before Metroid (NES), so I had a general idea of where was every power up, were to go and what to do. That allowed me to have a good time with the game, even if I got lost from time to time.

But if you go blind, it's an incredibly boring, frustrating and overall stupid game. Almost every room has like tons of clones of itself. Like... you enter a room. You exit that room. Enter another room. AND IT'S THE EXACT FUCKING SAME AS BEFORE. I understand this is due to the limitations of the NES back then, but the reason hardly matter: it is what it is. Let's add to the mix that we don't have a map, that there are some unfair situations like enemies that will go through doors and will be able to kill you even if you are exiting the room or sections with a super narrow corridors that won't allow you to jump and doge the enemies that come flying at you from left and right... and also let's remember that passwords can only let you start from the beginning of the area where you died (at 30hp). Although I guess that in the Switch you have savestates, so that doesn't really matter.

Anyways, to me Metroid is a terrible game. Mostly due to hardware limitations, but that doesn't really matter in the end.
