My dad's very first video game was Metroid NES. My very first video game was Metroid Zero Mission. If they ever do a new remake of this game, I'm sure my child's first game will be that as well.

That’s so cool! I love that it’s a generational game for you and your family lol

It’s strange that for a game I hated as a kid growing up in the 80’s; so much so that at one point I filled the cartridge with ashes from my parents’ ashtray and threw it into the trash as the music in Ridley’s Lair literally gave me nightmares (though, much to my dismay my parents eventually found it and were able to salvage the game) it is now one of my favorite games / game series. Same with the fortune teller theme in Link to the Past. Funny the things that scare you as a child become the things you obsess about as an adult.

Lmao that’s crazy, filling the cartridge with ashes because it scared you! Understandable though Ridley’s theme is pretty diabolical. Funny enough, there was a game I played as a kid called “Area 51” for the Original Xbox that scared me so bad I had nightmares about it. Now as an adult though it was one of my most wanted games for my collection because of that fear.

My dad and his uncle used to call each other and make hand drawn maps like that for legend of Zelda on the NES that had all the hidden bomb locations and paths. It does sound kinda fun to get through games like that. I actually have Metroid on Famicom disk system but playing it is a massive pain since the Famicom is RF only. The music does go hard on FDS though with the extra sound channels

Man that is so cool your dad and uncle did that! You’d never see people doing stuff like that nowadays lol Yeah I realized as I was making the video that the FDS version had slightly better music cause of that extra channel. That’s why I used it wherever I could haha

Nice video, my birthday is next month on July 22nd this year

Somebody starting off with Dread, and then going back to this game must've been like "WHOA METROID HAD SOME AMAZING MUSIC!!!"

Honestly, I don’t think Dread has terrible music, but I can’t deny that the rest of the series is MUCH better lol

Thank you for sharing so many correct opinions

Haha glad you enjoyed the vid

The spiky boys are geemers(yellow) and zoomers(red), bats are skreikbats(or shreikbats?) fire boys are novas and I forget the dragon guys names. Also the US release manual has VASTLY bizzare artwork as all the artists had to go off of were the sprites (thats why the manual metroid has tentacles, and why ridley looks like a xenomorph)

@@majorcalzone Yeah. its pretty neat.

my first metroid game was metroid fusion on the wiiu virtual console back. in 2014. now I've beaten every metroid game. I'd recommended you play Metroid Mother + antigrind, its a rom hack of NES metroid which modernizes the game
