Favourite Metroid game?
-
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.

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.

MPP is glorious

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

Used to play pvp on metroid prime hunter all the time in middle school

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.
