This was my first time ever completing an NES game and man it was a bit of a doozy. Not of such a huge map with so many rooms looking almost exactly the same, encouraging you to draw your own map to navigate the game. I get that this was probably really cool for a lot of people at the time, but as an experience for the first time in 2024 it just wasn't for me. Great game for people that like these kinds of games and iconic for the time, but I'm still on the hunt for an NES game I truly love.

This was the Beginning of side scrolling shooters for me. i remember at 5 yr old my mother rocking this game. she knew the codes made a whole journal of them as she played. It led me to play almost every Metroid Since. and most of them are worth the adventure. enjoy

Metroid

This is a strange one because, if I played it on original hardware, it'd be a 6. But because I played it on Switch, it's more of a 7.5. I'll stick it as 7. What holds up is the exploration is pretty nice. Despite the samey look of half of the screens, I was able to get a roughly solid mental map and allowed myself to traverse and beat the game in one session. Exploring was fun, dodging or killing enemies was fun, solving rooms was fun. Using the Switch, with rewind, definitely aids this game. It's easy to get stuck if you try to explore some out of sequence places, and dying without rewind ruins the gameplay flow and the mental map. Even still, managing that dampered the gameplay slightly. But it's better than resetting and getting lost.
