I have a complicated relationshup with the Metroid series.

I tried Super Metroid on SNES and years later Metroid Fusion on the Wii U virtual console, but could never get into them. I tried Other M on Wii as well, and that was just horrendous.

On the other hand, I absolutely adored the Metroid Prime games on Gamecube and Wii.

I'm very hyped for Dread and have high hopes it will be the one to finally get 2D Metroid to click with me.

Some of my fondest memories of the series are:

- The opening of Prime 1, from exploring the ruined station and reading the scan logs detailing in clinical detail how the pirates died, (and even gunning down badly injured ones to introduce you to combat) to the climactic escape where your suit is damaged and you barely make it out alive.

- Fighting Ridley while plummeting through a vertical tunnel in Prime 3.

- The ethereal beauty of Skytown and finally visiting the foreboding Pirate homeworld later in Prime 3.
