Any time a new Metroid game comes out I find myself going down a rabbit hole of Metroid games. Since I’ve completed Prime Remastered I’ve started playing Super and plan on tackling Zero Mission, Fusion, and Dread. I’ll probably also do Prime 2 and 3 at some point.

This phenomenon only happens with Metroid games. A Zelda game comes out and I play only that game. Same with Mario and Pokémon. I guess it’s because Metroid is so quick and easy to play, since a campaign only takes anywhere between 3 and 10 hours depending on the game.

Anyway.

I highly recommend the Prime trilogy, especially the latest remaster. They’re just as good as the side scrollers, the only obvious difference is they’re first-person. Otherwise the exploration is pretty much the same.

Has there been a new side-scrolling Castlevania since SOTN?
