who remembers this game? such a classic.

>was the biggest game at the time
>great gameplay
>challenging
>great for speedrunning
>tons of collectibles
>that sense of isolation which i love about most games like this


i could list great things about this game forever until i die.

>> No.6321154

I'm a weird individual who played (and liked) Metroid II and Metroid 4, but never Super Metroid.
Same with Zelda, I played and love Link's Awakening, but never ALTTP.
And yeah I know I should play them, I'm just saving them. I am one of the few Metroid or Zelda fans who can say I still can play SM and ALTTP for the first time. I just hope I don't delay it too much to the point I die before I do.

hey OP how about you go and fuck yourself? speed running never used to be a thing until zoomers came along. I hate you guys and your mentality. really back in the day there was no speed running and we just played games for the fun and enjoyment. fuck you, fuck speed running and fuck everything new. a game should be enjoyed and not rushed through for YouTube views...

When you namefagged, shitposted, and shitposted 3 in a row you outed yourself as a tranny and all trannys are speedrunners. Not even the anon who's obsessed with your kind but your mental disorder manifests in many observable ways.

Agreed. Speedrunning in its current structured form is terrible. If you loved a game enough to play it over and over for months or even years then why would you break it and glitch it and not play in the spirit of it, and if you don't love the game then why are you playing it over and over. It's grotesque

My favorite series is Castlevania, and my brother's is Metroid, but we both like both of them.

>>6321148
Personally whats great about Super Metroid is it's genuinely great science fiction aesthetic and atmosphere. It's top notch and no other IP from Nintendo can compare, it's probably the coolest damn thing Nintendo ever made.

Imagine arbitrarily deciding that some parts of the game you claim to love aren't right. It's fine to not like those aspects, but to say they're not a part of the game is just disrespectful.

Yeah I remember playing it with my friend, neither of us knew what it was all about. I was fascinated by the lack of handholding, and the ambiance created by the music is incredible. I think we made it to Kraid and I didn't play again until years later on emulator.

The walljumping is so clunky. It was such a relief when I got the space jump, I could barely ever wall jump with those stiff controls.
