I could see where some parts would lose all challenge if you know the tricks. I like the original Metroid for the no handholding aspect too. I like when I get to figure stuff out. 

That is why the original Metroid is my favorite Metroid game. 

That is also why, in this day and age, if I ever designed a video game it would flop horribly. I can recognize that my preferences are niche.  

Your tastes are not actually as niche as you think.  Original Metroid was the best selling 2D Metroid for decades until the recent release of Metroid Dread.  Also, Metroid Dread just barely outsold it will a much higher user base.

Your tastes aren't niche, but the internet perception of Metroid is screwed up.
