Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

  Super Metroid is definitely the gold standard. Zero Mission definitely feels like it uses Super Metroid as its base. The same is also true for AM2R.

  I think if you are getting into the series for the first time, Zero Mission, AM2R, Super Metroid & Metroid Fusion is the order to go in. They all share a similar set of gameplay & graphics.

  I think the 3DS Metroid II remake is great, but in terms of cohesiveness, it’s going to stand out among the four games.

  That being said it’s made by the same developers who will then go on to make Metroid Dread, which is probably my favorite Metroid game behind Super Metroid, which is the best.

  I haven’t played it, I guess this one should come after Metroid II shouldn’t it?

  Anyway, yeah, I obviously know about Super Metroid and it is one of the prettiest games even today.

    I don’t know if it really matters if you play them in any sort of order - Super Metroid really perfected the style and set the standard for the rest of the games

    If youre playing the games according to lore timeline order, I believe that the Metroid Prime games all take place inbetween Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid II. Prime 1, Prime Hunters, Prime 2, Prime 3, and potentially Prime 4. Then Metroid II, Super Metroid, Metroid Other M, Fusion, and finally Dread.

      I didn’t know, I actually was gonna make my way with the 2D series first and at the very end the Prime series.
