Re: Feature: Why We're Still Playing... Super Metroid

It's funny, this game is actually better now than when it was released. My first play through when it came out was almost exactly what I expected. Everything on the SNES was a noticeable jump up from the NES. Link to the Past, SMW, et al. Now, however, when I play it, it just blows my mind. Mostly because in 20 years so few games have even come close to its quality. I'm particularly drawn to an entire story being told through the environments and interactions withs Zebes creatures. No cutscenes. Just brilliant.

I really hope this proves to be accurate. For us older guys, there would be no more "waiting to get home from our job and put the kids to bed" before we get to play our games. Lunch breaks, lulls in work, waiting while running errands, etc, to chip away at huge games like Zelda or a few matches of CoD, or Smash.
Or those of us with friends in different time zones, it'd be easier to connect whenever to play. I'll be a day one buyer this time around.
