I played about 5 minutes of the original Metroid for the NES...and that's it for gaming this week lmao. I always want to play games but I never get around to it, somehow. The impetus for playing Metroid in the first place is that I was watching Subaru and Okayu from Hololive playing it and it looked like fun, but unfortunately I tend to have a lot more fun watching people play games than playing games myself madeline-sadeline

I heard Super Metroid's a better entry point into the 2D games anyhow, so maybe I'll give that a shot at some point. But first, I still gotta beat Castlevania! I also downloaded a romhack of the Pokémon TCG Game Boy game that swaps out the existing sets for Neo (the Generation II cards), but I really ought to beat TCG2 before I start that one.

metroid zero mission is a really good GBA remake of the original metroid and probably the best entry point in the series for a newcomer IMO

That was the other opinion I saw, but I also saw people saying it's hard to go from Zero Mission → Super Metroid because you'll miss some of the quality of life features, and I definitely wanna play Super Metroid because it's so iconic
