Re: Soapbox: I Hated Metroid: Zero Mission At First, Until I Loved It

I bought Zero Mission on release day too, but I knew exactly what to expect having started with Return of Samus. I was looking forward to playing the updated Metroid as I never managed to get far in the original. The areas were just too similar to each other and I could never remember what was going on when I next picked it up.

For Metroid's 35th birthday, and in preparation for Dread, I played through the 4 2D Metroid's and tracked my progress on Twitter. https://twitter.com/mlfowler_/status/1423747872357507072?t=pxESTQFa7PV37Yzu3pqhCw&s=19

I considered starting a Prime playthrough, wondering if I'd finish before Prime 4 released. I haven't started and Prime Remastered has appeared so now I live in hope of 2 & 3 remastered before 4 arrives. Prime 3 is the only Metroid I've never really played, Skyward Sword put my shoulder out and I'm done with excessive motion controls.
