Like I said when I talked about 'Super Metroid' (#36), the Metroid series had fallen out of my memory for a long time. Simultaneously, console gaming, both home and handheld, was losing my interest during the early 2000s era. The GameBoy Advance in my eyes was a mediocre system, with just a couple of ports, of admittedly some of the best games ever, that were worth playing. The system however was a bit of a victim of my lukewarm reception of the GameCube and after I found the GameBoy Advance's Mario Kart to be mediocre as well, my interest waned. I even missed out on 'The Minish Cap' initially, and that's saying something, that's a Zelda game. Many years later though I found that I had missed some really good stuff.
The best of the good stuff was 'Metroid Fusion', and it reminded me of how good the series was after I only played a bit of Super Metroid when I was young. Funnily enough, I think Fusion is the best game in the series, even though its world is not really structured the way the series is famous for. Granted I haven't played 'Dread' yet, or the Prime games but obviously those are different. People can fight me on this, but the linearity of this game, is what makes the story possible, and is what makes the game great.
