OK now I know your talking about the first Metroid. I agree, the game is very hard. Although I have it on Metroid Zero Mission. I'm working on beating Kid Icarus right now which by the way is an extremly hard game! I'm not sure which is harder Kid icarus or Metroid.

Metroid has always been notorious for having one or two parts that are super cheap and hard as hell. That has been consistent with every game in the series. But I don't think the games, as a whole, could be considered hard.

On a related note, I remember buying the zelda anniversary collection for GC, and the original Zelda (and the second as well) was killer tough. Either games have gotten much much easier or I've grown soft in my old age. I'm betting on the easier thing.

I've tried fighting Kraid once in that game. It seemed nearly impossible. If you find a good way to beat him tell me. Kraid is one hard whatever he is.

Sorry for not being more clear, I was talking about the first Metroid. It's gonna be hard to split time with that and Mario Strikers Charged.

well i have 2 ways that'll give u a chance even though i didnt beat him.....for one thing get the freeze beam and freeze the boomerang things he throw then light him up with the rockets....or u can do the second way which is turning into a ball and jus stayin close to him and bombin him...but for that one u goin need at least 2 energy shields

When I was a kid I beat metroid. Now for some reason I cant get through this one part. I haven't even gotten to kraid yet. I think that games were harder when I was kid, and now I've gotten soft.

One thing I dont like about the original metroid is how hard it is to get your energy up to full. Staying by a single infinite flow baddie to push it up 5 at a time.

i think that Metroid is harder for some reason...maybe because I only ever played the Prime games and zero mission...

Kid Icarus is more cheaply difficult (i.e. poor programming makes progress difficult) while Metroid is a genuine labarynthine challenge.

Yeah, that game got me going as well and that's actually one of the easier retro games. I actually beat that one.

Some of these games are crazy hard though.

Retro games are generally harder. They offered a challenge. Todays games offer an experience.

It's probably from the controls. Only being able to play with 2 buttons really limits it.

Not played the 3D Ninja Gaiden games so I can't coment. Although i've heard they're meant to be hard. But Viewtiful Joe wasn't a hard or challenging game. Very retro like, but not all that hard. Metroid Prime isn't hard either. It's challenging, yes. But not challenging in the ways older games were. Anyway, I sound like i'm moaning. Which i'm not. It's just games of the yesteryear were, and still are harder than the vast majority of todays games. That's why most of them got away with being so damn short lol.
