Which is your favourite metroid game?

is it a 2d sidescrolling or3dfps?

I love the metroid series. It is hands down my favourite of all of the nintendo mascots.I have played all of the metroid games except metroid prime 2, and metroid 2 (on the original gameboy). Just recently finished playing super metroid for the very first time and i have to say it was my favourite.

Metroid Prime is my favorite followed by Super Metroid. Metroid Prime is the game that really got me into the series even though I played the original NES version.

I still need to play Metroid II, Fusion and Hunters and I am looking forward to Metroid Other M.

Metroid Fusion. Most story heavy, best design/look, best gameplay.

I'd have to say Metroid Prime 3 because it really went easy on the backtracking. It was also an amazing ending to the Prime trilogy, with epic music and amazing artistic scale(Elysia mainly). I've only really played the Prime series so I am a bit of a noob when it comes to Metroid.

Super Metroid (SNES) is my favourite.

But the one that's coming out next looks like it'll be the best one ever. It doesn't look like an fps, it looks more like it's going back to its roots a little.

I change my vote to this. You're right, this is the best Metroid game.

Super Metroid easily, although I haven't played the Primes yet so I can't really say for sure.

Super Metroid by far. Metroid Prime was good too but it fails in comparison to Super Metroid. Even Metroid 2 Return of Samus is better than Metroid Prime, Honestly Metroid 2 is better than Metroid Fusion too. Super Metroid is the top of the peak though. The huge environments, the powerups, the bosses, the music, the secrets and even the customizations were beyond awesome. Super Metroid is the Best Metroid Game in the Series by Far. Followed by Metroid 2, then Metroid Fusion then Metroid Prime.

I actually like Metroid Prime the best, followed very closely by Metroid fussion and Super Metroid. The one I have been playing the most lately is zero mission. Metroid is the only series that even comes close to getting me as pumped up for a new one as a new Zelda does.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Story is easier to understand than any other Metroid.

Prime is my pick. I found Super Metroid a little on the boring side. Also Prime was a huge accomplishment sinced it flawlessly moved the series into 3D.

Metroid Fusion. Great story, gameplay, atmosphere, everything. The SA-X chases were so intense!

I didn't find Super Metroid all that great.

Super Metroid by a mile. Prime was great, and an excellent transition into 1st person, but it was no Super Metroid. Here's hoping the Shinespark makes it's return in Other M!

From the ones I've played:

Super Metroid > Metroid Fusion > Metroid Prime 3 > Metroid Prime > Metroid Prime 2

I don't like MP2 because it's like... the hardest game I've ever played. Or I just didn't play enough to get used to the dark world or whatever that was called.

I've only played the original Metroid for the NES, and I hated it :(

Maybe I should try the remake for the GBA (that's Zero Mission right?). I haven't played any of the other Metroids, but that will change soon. I'm going to get the Trilogy later this month and I'll probably play Super Metroid on the VC.

The Prime trilogy was so boring. :/

I enjoyed all of the 2D Metroid games, but Fusion was my favorite.

Super Metroid, but Other M has a shot. The Primes are great as well, though.

Yoshi's Story sucks. Stop spamming it for some bizarre reason.

Wow it's refreshing to hear you can play SUper Metroid all these years later and still have it be your favorite. Good job!

My favorite is Metroid Prime, which is also my ALL-TME favorite game!

I like Super Metroid because it's very fast paced (I like running really fast and destroying enemies with the Screw Attack). I also like the bright 16-bit colors (like Samus's yellow and purple suits).

I've played only Hunters, Metroid and Super Metroid, cause i'm waiting on the trilogy to play the prime games.

My favourite one of those 3 so far was super metroid, but the original was just about the funnest NES game that i've even played.

Close tie between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. SM for being a classic, and MF for the difficulty.

It would have to be either Super Metroid or Metroid Prime. Really don't want to choose one over the other.
