Ive really enjoyed all the 3d metroids. Even other m. Ive never really been into 2d metroid tho . Which is nuts considering I love retro metroidvania games like xeodrifter and the blaster master remakes. May try super metroid again after I finish last of us 2.

I recommend you start with Zero Mission and work your way up from there. Super is the best game for sure, but it's nice to play the story chronologically. Not like story matters too much in Metroid, but still, I do think it's nicer that way.

That said, for as much as everyone recommends the remakes, I do think the originals are more... "true". Like, the whole extra chapter thing at the end of Zero Mission, and all the little details (and some not so little) that were changed in Samus Returns, I can't see these games as canon. They're much improved versions of old games, but the new changes just don't feel like part of the story to me. For that reason I really didn't mind the ending change in Samus Returns, as I thought it was pretty awesome gameplay-wise. Also it was just so obviously gonna happen, I was already emotionally prepared for it.

That said, if you want a more true-to-the-original remake of Metroid 2, there's always AM2R, the PC fan remake of it. It's a really great game, too, and it's much closer to the source material than Samus Returns is.

So I'd recommend you play Zero Mission, then AM2R, then Super Metroid, then Fusion.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I dont think most of those games can be played on a tv screen. I dont like handhelds. I already own super on the classic.  I do really wish 10do would drop a 2d collection cart for switch.
