Metroid: Zero Mission News
I typically am not a fan of remakes on video games, but there are certainly exceptions. This remake of the original Metroid takes the game that started a series and makes it, well, playable. It also makes it quite a bit better. I recently completed the original Metroid and had to use a guide to get through it. The winding caverns were fine for the mid-80s, but now when you have so many games that you could be playing instead, you need a game that doesn’t waste your time. I love that this remake did way more than just remake the original…tons of quality-of-life additions, additional story beats and areas; this is a remake of an NES game done right.
If you’d like to get into the Metroid series, this is a great place to start. While the NES version has its merits, it’s a relic best left in the past.
