30 Years Of Samus: Ranking The Metroid Games

Metroid is one of the few gaming series that have been able to not only succeed in both 2D and 3D, but have undeniable classics in both dimensions. Many consider Super Metroid to be the apex of 2D gaming, and the Metroid Prime series is considered to be some of the greatest first-person shooters ever made. It's truly amazing how Nintendo has been able to reinvent its franchise over time and make it stay relevant in an ever changing gaming landscape.

6) Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

Recommended Videos

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes was a great sequel, but one that felt underwhelming coming after the pure innovation that was Metroid Prime. That said, not every game can reinvent the wheel and Echoes is still a top-notch first-person adventure.

Two big things stand out about Metroid Prime 2: the light and dark parallel worlds that continue to divide fans, and its surprisingly fun multiplayer mode. While neither addition will be remembered as the greatest innovations in a Metroid game, credit has to be given to Retro Studios for trying something new and not resting on their laurels.

5) Metroid Zero Mission

After the success of Metroid Fusion, Nintendo knew there was still a market for 2D Metroid titles. This led to the development of Metroid Zero Mission, a remake of the original Metroid. Not only does it make the 1986 classic look gorgeous, it also has new content including additional cinematic scenes.

This is the way to experience Metroid, as the NES original hasn’t aged well.
