Hi everyone! We’re just days away from Metroid Dread, the much anticipated conclusion to the 2D Metroid Pentalogy began back in 1986 on the NES, continued on the Gameboy with Samus Returns, perfected on the Super Nintendo with Super Metroid, and given an even more enhanced narrative on the Game Boy Advance with Metroid Fusion. It seems only fitting that a series that has two main entries on both handhelds and consoles would culminate in a title that appears on a hybrid handheld console, bridging those worlds seamlessly.
Now as well all wait as patiently as we can for Metroid Dread, I thought it would be fun to reminisce and wax nostalgic about this series over the next couple days. Feel free to talk about whatever you want Metroid, but here’s a few prompts to get those wheels turning. What was your first Metroid game? Was your first experience a positive one? What are your favorite boss battles or enemies? What are your favorite abilities? Do you have any powerful meta-memories of playing this series?
Let’s hopefully keep this thread spoiler free regarding Dread. VGChartz has done a great job with this to date, particularly in Curl-6’s great thread that has been keeping everyone up to date on new media surrounding the game, and I’m very appreciative that there is a place to get hyped about the game without worrying that people are spoiling anything.
Well folks, let’s get sharing and let’s get hyping. As of this post there are less than 7 days to go until we take control of our favorite bounty hunter in what promises to be one of her most terrifying adventures yet!
