Metroid Prime Hunters has been my favorite of the series and is my favorite game overall. It's an easy choice for me, as Metroid Prime Hunters just keeps giving. There are so many aspects to the experience that are left open to interpretation, and that's what really has given Hunters the legs to make it a 1,400h+ affair. Scans such as the Zoomer, which references it as a carrier of flesh-eating bacteria, actually make me look into other Metroid titles deeper. I wonder how this disease impacted Zebes: which native species became extinct and what were the ecological impacts, how many Chozo suffered the disease, how did the Chozo view the disease, did the Chozo find a cure or seek quarantine, was Samus impacted during her time on the world...Plenty of questions to wonder about and invest my imagination into just involving Zebes alone, and Metroid fans know this can go further as Zoomers have been at more worlds and so to could have its disease. Metroid Prime Hunters just has a way with conveying details that makes itself and the series a richer experience.

@LordJumpMad I sincerely hope you are trolling. If you are trolling, then please execute such in a different way
Anyway, my favourite is Super Metroid (which is my favourtie game of all time), because of its incredible tight design, amazing music, clever progression, fun bosses, and replayability.
Loved Metroid Prime, but not as much as Super Metroid.
I only played two Metroid games so far. The NES Metroid on my 3DS Virtual Console and Metroid Prime 1 from the Metroid Prime Trilogy on my Wii. I bet everyone should be able to tell which one is the better one. I actually really liked the NES Metroid... it was just missing a map and the ability to switch between weapons. I couldn't progress any further in Metroid until I watched a video on finding this stupid secret in the lava to get an Ice Beam. I'll play Metroid II soon, and Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion once SNES and GBA games come to the 3DS Virtual Console. I own the other two Metroid Primes and Metroid: Other M but never got around playing them.

The first one is still my favorite. Super Metroid is a close second. I don't like FPS though, so the newest ones never appealed to me.

NNID: KittenKoder ..... what else would it be?
The one I played the most in my youth was "Super Metroid", and to this day, its one of my faves (those demonic statues in Norfair still creep me out). I found a cart-only copy for $20 about 4 years ago, at a retro store. It took lots of cleaning, inside and out, but still works like a charm.
Next in line is probably the Gamecube version of the first "Prime", as I still haven't reached 100% on that thing (or any of them).
God, guns, and guts made America; let's keep all three.
7. Metroid - It isn't that this is a bad game, I just have a hard time appreciating it by modern standards. It's an absolutely fantastic game for its time, but by modern standards is far too confusing.
6. Metroid Fusion - Fun, just not what I was looking for. It doesn't help that in my two playthroughs of the game, I still only find half of the Energy Tanks and get slaughtered by SA-X no matter what I do.
5. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Probably the most fun Metroid game, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. I enjoyed it far more during my second playthrough.
4. Super Metroid - Good game, but it didn't have much of an impact on me. At the time, I had played almost every Metroid other than Hunters, Fusion, Zero Mission, Other M, and Prime Pinball. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I played them in order of release.
3. Metroid Prime - I enjoyed this game. It was the first of the Prime Trilogy I played on Metroid Prime Trilogy. It had some really great parts, but it didn't hit me like the others did, and this was only the second Metroid game I played, after the original. Fun, good game, but it never grabbed me. I'll probably need to play it a third time on the hardest difficulty.
2. Metroid 2: Return of Samus - I loved the Survival-Horror aspect of this game. I loved every second of exploring those empty caves waiting for a Metroid to pop out through a wall.
1. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - I never have understood the flack this one gets, although, admittedly, I played it as part of Prime Trilogy, not the GC original. It was hard, the world was extremely atmospheric and probably the most unique, the weapons were neat, the bosses were awesome, and it was honestly the creepiest game I've played in my life. I loathed going to the Dark World, but that made it all the more better. Having my adrenaline pulse as the tension quickly skyrocketed and culminated in a multi-Ing firefight was just great. I'd love for another Metroid to take that Survival-Horror approach. Heck, that's the main thing I like about Metroid, being scared to turn the corner, wasting precious ammo because you want whatever is there to be gone, and constantly being under life-or-death pressure; it just feels great. I'll even admit, after playing this game, I HAD to turn on a light wherever I was standing to be in a safe zone. No, I'm not kidding, I literally applied those rules to my life for a few weeks because it was so ingrained in my mind.
