Favourite Metroid game?
-
Going to use this thread to recommend AM2R which is so high quality Nintendo could have made it themselves. It also has a great Prime-style OST in a 2d game which none of the other games have done
legitimately believe am2r is better than Samus Returns on 3ds

My favourite Metroid game has got to be Zero Mission on the GBA.
A weird choice maybe but it was my first metroid when I played the GBA, I thought the music and atmosphere was kick ass and enjoyed the simple enough controls.
For a 3D Metroid it would be the trilogy on Wii at the time.
What about you?
The Super Nintendo Metroid game was/is my favorite, but I'll admit I haven't play most of the Metroid games, so I'm not a good judge.
The NES game was a ton of fun, but I felt and feel like the SNES game was just all of that and then some, if that makes sense to others.
I played one of the 3D Metroid games (the one on the Wii). It was fun, I enjoyed what I played. But it did not scratch the same itch, if that makes sense. In fact, I don't think I even played that game to completion.

Dread. The movement feels incredible and I feel like its map naturally leads players to the next relevant area the best without as much backtracking and getting lost. Brilliant game.

The EMI segments with unfair BS kinda take it down for me a slight notch

Ori and the Blind Forest!
The story, the gameplay, the progression, the level design. Everything just fits together perfectly and then there's the soundtrack. God, I love that game! -

I would agree with Dread. It is such a a nice clean game and that last boss was an actual challenge. Many games are awesome but fumble the last boss.
Before Dread, I would say the Super Metroid on SNES, that game introduced (at least me) the wall jumps and the sprint to down boost jump thing. I always tired to saved the animals when leaving the planet, but it's not like they were able to get off the planet, so I'm not sure if it really helped.

That said, Hollow Knight has finally gotten its hooks into me and will not let go.

Fusion has always been my favorite. I "want" to not like how linear it is compared to the rest of the series, but when I get started playing it again that never seems to matter to me anymore. And because of that game structure, the game is very well broken up into chunks of 20-30 minutes of gameplay at a time which makes it excellent for playing on a portable console. I played it on a borrowed GBA-SP for the first time back in the day, a few more times after that emulated, and most recently I've been playing it again on my Steam Deck within the past week, I'm like 2/3 of the way back through it again, just took down Yakuza for the Space Jump last night before bed.
Fusion is also a huge story point for the series as a whole. It introduces the X and by doing so gives context to the existence of the metroids. And seeing that referenced again later in Dread was maybe one of the coolest moments I've experienced in the Metroid series.
Speaking of Dread, that one is a very close follow up though. I was super hype for Dread when it released and it is one of few games in recent memory that completely lived up to that hype. I was a big fan.

Agree with Zero Mission. Second would be Dread and then Super. Haven't played Fusion tho, long overdue...

It is. There's a few neat things about the official version, but am2r is better over all.

My favorite Metroid is a knockoff. Environmental Station Alpha. I can't help but recommend it in any thread that's even remotely on topic. It's not "better" than the official titles but I end up replaying ESA way more. The astmosphere and music just really hit me, and the gameplay is tight with lots of secrets.
My favorite official title is Fusion though. It was so awesome being able to play that on the train to school and lunch breaks.
ESA is a great game

Gonna be controversial and say Metroid Prime Hunters... mainly because that's the one I've spent the most time with.
Zero Mission takes a close second, though.

It's also Zero mission for me. The atmosphere and story are amazing.

Super and/or Fusion. Fusion was the first one I played, and Super is just perfect.

Super is so good. The sound design makes everything gel together into a smooth slurry.
But, like good.
Metroid Prime is a masterpiece. The artifact hunt is a bit padding-y, but you'll be backtracking to get the power-ups anyway.
