Metroid rules conceptually, and it's one of the only games of its kind on the NES (if not THE only) but to me it always felt like a beta test for Super Metroid. Yokoi clearly knew what he wanted to do, and it sure as hell wasn't Metroid 1 on NES hardware, it was Super Metroid on SNES.
P.S. Anyone who doesn't buy Super Metroid within a day of its release for VC is a traitor. To EVERYTHING.
