[quote name='Melatonin']I'm playing through Super Metroid for the first time. It's fantastic of course, my one minor quibble is that the powerup icons on the map don't go away after obtaining the item! Absolutely dumb and inexcusable. I have played through Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission and I don't recall those games doing the same thing, but it's been a while. Also, I feel that at the beginning of the game there are tons of places where the x-ray visor would come in handy, but after getting the visor there are much fewer areas like this...or maybe I'm just overusing it.[/QUOTE]
I actually remember the excitement of playing Super Metroid for the first time. Obviously, it's not going to be the same for you having played Fusion and Zero Mission, but it still is an great game to this day. That type of gameplay model really hasn't changed that much, so Metroid holds up incredibly well.
