Summary: A Great Addition to the SNES
Comment: If you've played Metroid 1 and 2, then you know how much of an improvement this game is. If you haven't, well it doesn't matter, you can start fresh here! This game presents a great atmosphere of isolation, adventure, and has some pretty creepy environments as well. Of course don't forget the action! Samus get's a lot of new weaponry and others upgrades, that make a lot of different ways of disposing of enemies and navigating through the game. But I will say that this game can be confusing at times when it comes to where to go next, you just have to remember which areas are restricted by which obstacles and etc. Otherwise this game is glorious!

Summary: Samus returns, better than ever!
Comment: This is my all-time favorite Metriod game, if not my favorite game ever. Don't let oldness scare you of. Don't be like " why should I buy this old crap?" Age is nothing. The graphics and music are some of the best on the Super Nintendo. It can be challenging at times, but it is not like the original Metroid, were you have to enter a password when you want to continue were you left off. It saves. So if you have some money, and want a good game, look no further then Super Metroid.(It's on the Wii shop channel for 800 points. That's 8 dollars!)

Summary: The Must have game
Comment: There are not many games that I can say are perfect, but this is one of them. This game is mainly an exploration game that has alot of 2d platforming. There are many things in this game that will make you want to play it more than once, for example finding things you weren't supposed to with wall jump or finding all upgrades or minimal run. Super Metroid will have you addicted as soon as you start the game. The main goal in the game is to find the baby Metroid that you captured earlier in the series. This game is not too long with some assistance it took me 6 and a half hours. The graphics may not be stunning like todays games but it is still good on a small enough screen. Super Metroid is a Must have.

Summary: Quite possibly the greatest Nintendo game ever
Comment: I have fond memories of beating Super Metroid on Super Nintendo. The graphics were amazing for its time (and still hold up on medium-sized TVs). The amount of detail and complexity of the planet Zebes still boggles my mind. If you've beaten Metroid Prime and want more, I definitely recommend downloading this game from Wii's virtual games menu and trying it out.

Summary: The Awsome Metroid title for the SNES
Comment: Super Metroid is one of my favorite SNES games of all time. You first start off in a Space Station to rescue the baby Metroid that was from Metroid 2, but you're not able to because Ridley escapes with the baby Metroid to Planet Zebes. Once again you have to go to Planet Zebes and beat the Space Pirates again, but the terrain of Zebes has changed quite a bit from the original game. Mother Brain, Kraid and Ridley are back as well as some new main bosses arrive. Before reaching the newly revived Mother Brain, in the newly built Torrian (to the left of the original escape tunnel of the old Torrian)you have to beat Kraid, Ridley and the other two main bosses. In the room where you enter the New Torrian there are big stone statues in the shape of the main bosses you have to fight that sit atop the entrance to the New Torrian. After beating each boss the spirit of the boss you have beaten comes out of the statues eyes and fly's away.

There are cool weapons and gadgets in this game. The beams you can get for your energy gun are the Charge Beam (you automatically start off with the Long Beam on your energy gun throughout the whole entire game, meaning it is no longer a separate beam to acquire, the Ice Beam is back as well as the Plasma Beam and Wave Beam. One new Beam that is added to the series is the Spazer Beam which is a three-way more powerful version of your regular gun, you're better off using the Plasma Beam along with the Wave Beam and Charge Beam. Other Items added in are Power Bombs, the Grappling Hook, X-Ray Visors to look for hidden items or passage ways (too bad the Spider Ball is not in this game)and Super Missiles and regular missiles. There are also different suits in this game too. You have your regular Yellow-Orange suit you start off with, the Varia Suit makes a come back, and a new purple-pinkish suit has been added called the Gravity Suit which allows you to move underwater with ease as well as more protection from enemies hits than the Varia Suit. Oh I almost forgot, you can also duck in this game before rolling into a ball. You can get the bombs that make you go into the air while in a ball. The bomb jump is easier to perform than in the original game where it is almost impossible to do. Another added power-up you can get is the Speed Dash ability. You can use it to break away through certain walls and obstacles. You can also use the Speed Dash in the air to get to certain places you would normally not be able to. Unlike in the future games where you can get also use the Speed Dash, it takes away your health if you do it in the air in this game. When you get health in this game, it gives it to you at the right time when you actually need it and not just randomly. If you own a Super Nintendo, an emulator, or a Wii, I recommend getting this game, along with Super Mario All Stars and Super Mario World or the regular Super Mario All Stars, Mega Man X - X3, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, the Donkey Kong Country series, Zombies ate My Neighbor, Super Mario Kart, Kirby Super Star, Mario RPG, etc. (whatever you are interested in).
