Metroid was a very popular series in the late 80's and early 90's. Despite only getting two games, players loved it for the unique things it brought: The whole game consisted of basically one gigantic overworld with many places to explore and items to find. On top of that, there were loads of secrets - Who can forget the fact that you get to play as suitless Samus by beating the game in 5 hours or entering the password "JUSTIN BAILEY"?
Metroid II for the Game Boy played similarly to the first game, but introduced new equipment, and a completely new gameplay element - Your goal this time was not to eliminate the leader of the enemies, but to eliminate the enemies themselves - Many Metroid eggs were scattered around the planet SR388 after the events on planet Zebes in the first game, and you had to search out and destroy them all, then defeat the Metroid Queen. Metroid II played a bit more linear than the first, with you being able to go deeper into the planet the more you find.
But both of these games would soon be followed by the 1994 sequel, Super Metroid. Set after the events of Metroid II, the story begins with Samus going to a research centre in space with a baby Metroid that followed her from SR388. Leaving, she later returns to find that the place has been wrecked and every crew member is dead. She finds the baby Metroid in a room at the back, but Ridley, the dragon-like creature from the first Metroid soon appears and snatches it, escaping to Zebes from the first game. Samus of course follows.
This begins the main game. What follows next is Samus heading through many, many rooms on Zebes, both new and old (Some old ones deformed over the time that passed since the first game), receiving upgrades as usual, and defeating all the nasty bosses that lurk at the back of areas. This game features all three big baddies from the first game - Mother Brain, Kraid and Ridley. There's plenty of new memorable ones as well - Look out for one called Crocomire. I'm not gonna say what he does, but he's pretty well-known among fans because of it.
The game introduces many new moves again - This is the first appearance of the Grapple Beam, allowing Samus to swing on ceilings to reach hard to reach places. It would return in the Metroid Prime series. Super Metroid also features the now famous ball with lightning bolt symbol for the Screw Attack, which has now become the logo for the series.
The locations in the game are varied - There's Crateria, the surface area, Brinstar, the area now overgrown with plants which served as the first area in the original game, Norfair, a lava world, Maridia, an underwater area, Wrecked Ship, which is a crashed frigate, and finally Tourian, Mother Brain's new lair. Most of these settings would be repeated in later games (Metroid Prime for example copies all of them).
Gameplay is smooth and responsive. Samus handles well and can shoot diagonally now, which was pretty much needed since the first Metroid. Amazingly enough, all the upgrades and stuff go to different buttons and button combinations, and it all fits on the controller. You can also turn off certain upgrades if you prefer to play without certain ones. Samus can now also run instead of walk, which also greatly improves the gameplay and is necessary in some puzzles.
The difficulty's not too high - Some of the bosses are nasty, but overall, it's not that hard compared to the previous 2 games. Any average gamer should be able to complete the game quite easily.
The music is one of the top factors in this game. From the eerie, almost silent music that plays in Crateria at the beginning of the game, when you land on Zebes and there's not a single living thing to be seen, to the slightly more action-oriented theme that plays only moments later when there's suddenly Space Pirates around, to the boss theme (Which is to be reused in Super Smash Bros. Brawl!) to the now legendary Metroid opening and ending themes, this game's soundtrack is absolutely stunning and must be heard. One of the SNES's finest.
The graphics are also very, very nice. Each sprite is greatly detailed, and all locations have neat stuff in the background and foreground. At one point, for example, there are bugs of some sort feasting on the dead body of a soldier - When you approach, all of them skitter away.
Super Metroid is one of the greatest SNES games ever made. And not only that, it's probably also the best Metroid game ever made (The only one that even comes close is Metroid Prime, if you ask me!). If you've never played a classic (Non-Prime) Metroid game before, Super Metroid is the one to start with. Don't miss this one - You'll be sorry!

This game is as good as it gets. I know no other Metroid, Turican, Contra, MegaMan or any other title you would like to compare it to which can touch this. Sadly they don't make them any longer like in the old days. So don't rush through this one but embrace the fantastic graphics and the spine chilling soundtrack because there most probably will never be a better game ... ever.

is this the same game that came out for the GBA ?...metroid fusion?
4. Damo
22 Feb 2007, 17:10 GMT
Metroid Fusion was an all-new game for the GBA. AFAIK, Super Metroid has never been on any other machine than the SNES...until it comes to the VC, of course.
5. Tosky
22 Feb 2007, 19:41 GMT
This game is massive for it's day, I mapped the game out after being confined to bed for several weeks, and the maps was massive.
This game is amazing, I would love Nintendo to do another version of this, looking similar on the Wii, just how big could they make it this time.
This is a must have game for the virtual console, cant wait.
6. Johannes
02 Mar 2007, 13:32 GMT

Now i want to play it on the Virtual Console, i hope it will come out soon.

Back when I had an SNES, I as about 6 years old, so I easily missed some of it's best titles. Luckily, I decided to pick up Metroid Fusion when I got the GBA. It was one of the coolest, most exciting games I've ever played. I can't wait until this comes out so that I can play the game that started it all (because I'm sure the NES one can't compare to this).
8. Shawn
10 Mar 2007, 15:29 GMT
Super Metroid is THE Best Metroid. I've played all of them and Fusion is inferior compared to the massive world of Super metroid
9. Jonno
12 Mar 2007, 16:32 GMT
YES! This is much better than Prime, which is really the only Metroid I've ever owned, but not the only Metroid I've ever played!
10. Mendez
12 Mar 2007, 19:45 GMT
The first Metroid I owned was Fusion, and I've also played Zero mission and all of the prime games. If it really is the best metroid game then it must be absolutely bloody awesome! I'm looking forward to it but I've been trying not to expect to much out of it to avoid dissapointment. I just hope it comes out soon now!
11. RMA
16 Mar 2007, 12:06 GMT
Apart from this there is only one other run and gun I'd buy from the SNES...Alien3. But I'm guessing they'd be licencing issues...pity. I'd guess the same would go for another great schmup...Ghostbusters on the MD. Oh well, I live in hope.
12. neuzd
19 Mar 2007, 13:38 GMT
Mendez, you really don't know what you are talking about!!!!!!!!!!
Liked Fusion and Zero Mission? If so, you simply NEED Super Metroid.
I want it so much I can't stop shinesparking on the walls of my room, but I'll be patient...I hope I will.
You putrid Space Pirates scum, I'm gonna blast away the whole planet if I need to...
RIIIDLEEEEYYYYYY, you are dead, do you hear me?
YOU ARE DEAD!!!!!!
13. Phil_flipside
19 Mar 2007, 19:39 GMT
yeah, Super Metroid is easily the best metroid game, and among the top 3 games I've ever played. The Music in this game is nothing short of spectacular. So atmospheric. . . so great. There is not as much story line as in zero mission or even fusion. Well, not in the way of having it all written out for you. but you basically understand everything that is going on just by playing through and powering up samus. The end boss fight is FRIGGEN SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! I won't ruin any surprises, but yeah, it's fun as hell.
My ranking of metroid games goes
1.Super Metroid
2.Metroid Prime
3.Zero Mission
4.Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
5.Metroid Fusion
ALL these games score at least a 9 out of 10 in my book, so the least of them is great. I left out Metroid because it's basically metroid zero mission, and I left out metorid II because I never actually played it!
14. Jaunty
21 Mar 2007, 11:39 GMT
I never completed this game (feels like a noob here). My brother endlessly taunts me about that.........having a brother who is the biggest SNES nerd is pretty bad. Can't wait for this.
15. Zak
23 Mar 2007, 20:13 GMT
Why is this title the best of all the metroids? It's hard to say without spoiling you, but the final confrontation is just a thriller. I know every 2D Metroid-Game and if you never played this one, you will might surprised. For a SNES-Game.
Anyway, the story's about returning to Zebes, the Planet from the Classic Metroid/Zero Mission. And yeah, it has a lot of these deja vu-moments.
16. Sektor

Damn it.. I want it released now (US version)! LOL Believe me.. this is my favorite game of the Metroid series! The other Metroid series were ok, though. MP and MP2 were 2 of my great games (evethough, I got the heebie-jeebies when the space pirates flew about in some areas! :-S). When I mean MP, I mean it by Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. I can't wait for the release of MP3: Corruption (I think?)! Wonder how it plays out for the Wii? Who knows?
19. William
16 Apr 2007, 06:35 GMT
Trust me on this one: Super Metroid (like you guys and/or gals say).. it's rated #1 of the Metroid series!
I've loved this game on my SNES console and I've played it over and over and over again! Man... that's my favorite SM game EVER! Wished it was on the Wii VC as well... hopefully soon enough! MP was ok... but MP2 was better because of the multi-player game feature and new weapons from light and dark items. For me:
#1 = SM (SNES)
#2 = MP2 (GC)
#3 = MP (GC)
#4 = Metroid (NES)
#5 = Metroid (GB)*
* I didn't complete the whole game... I stopped around the metroid up to #38 (From #40)... never got a chance to finish it. Oh well.
Hopefully MP3 (Wii) would be rated somewhere on the list!

Nintendo continued their fantastic 16-bit re-visioning of their classic NES franchises with Super Metroid. As with Super Mario World and Zelda 3, everything that made the original games great is there and much, much more.
The power-up functions of the original game has been expanded greatly, the different areas also vary much more than the original and make great use of the SNES hardware. The game also features some hugely memorable bosses and a fantastic, hugely atmospheric sound track.
The difficultly curve is pitched more or less right, meaning that most of the time you make a satisfactory amount of progress for the hours you put in. On the downside, there are a couple of areas where you will get stuck for absolutely ages and be banging your head against a wall, but which Metroid game doesn't have that? It's whether you have the patience to find the solution that determines whether or not you'll become a Metroid fan or not.
Whether it's as good as Metroid Prime in terms of actual gameplay. Prime added all the 'scanning' and the slowly revealed back story elements that this game lacks, but as a 16-bit game you can't really argue. Well worth a play and certainly worth downloading.
23. Jonno

I might be mistaken here, but.. I don't know where I heard or got this from.. anyway, is this true that the VC might not release SM? If that was the case, I'd be very disappointed.
Trust me... SM ROCKS game on!

28 Apr 2007, 05:15 GMT
YAY super metroid!! i'm a giant metroid fanboy and i am waiting so i can get this game Ive loved all the prime games and this game looks SWEEEEET!
28. 420chaos
01 May 2007, 03:05 GMT
i think im one of the few who has actually played and beaten every single metroid game. i can honestly say super metroid IS the best. it set the standard for the series (especially in artistic direction.) all the elements that make the later games so great are being channeled from this one. i've picked this game apart. i've gotten 100% completion, i've gotten the best ending (under an hour), i've even gone through and beaten it with minimum items (relying on wall-jumps and speed boosting.) EVERY SINGLE TIME i play it i find new shortcuts and ways around areas wtihout the required items. the depth this game still has after a decade is amazing.
if you havent played this and still arn't sure... theres nothing to even be sure about, buy it.
i wont rank all the games... but i'll say this one ranks the best... and fusion ranks the worst (fusion is not a bad game, but it is also the most linear of all the metroid games, not to mention the art direction was a step away from what was established in super metroid.)

I've never played metroid games, but this one looks good. I'm so happy that the virtual console came out because now I can play all of the great games that started it all. And most games I've never played (I've only played a few n64 and a few snes games in my life ) so I might just start the Metroid series with this game. Also AMAZING graphics for the snes.
31. Spore

I recently purchased this game off Ebay (an original cartridge copy of course) along with Donkey Kong Country and I am now patiently awaiting its arrival.

14 May 2007, 16:08 GMT
This and Earthbound are in my opinion the best games ever made. You cannot touch these games.
33. Tosky
17 May 2007, 19:16 GMT
I still can't believe it is not here, I so want to play this again on the big screen, and not my computer.
There is something special about this game that makes it great, I remember the wrecked ship and the problems it created, if you have played you will know what I mean. This is an unbelieveably great game....It so needs to arrive.
I still think they should remake a game like this on the Wii, but bigger, there is not enough scroll and blow the hell out of thing of this level anymore, they are all 1st person games, and I personnally am not a huge fan of them. So come on Nintendo, listen to your fans, get Super Metroid on the Eu VC.
Maybe we should all write to them, or e-mail them
34. Spore
19 May 2007, 00:30 GMT
Still without a Wii console of my own, I recently ordered this game off ebay. Having never played it yet playing the other installments (all top notch) I can't wait for this to ship.
35. James
19 May 2007, 04:49 GMT
Never played this one. Alongside Sonic 2 this is a definite buy! I've just heard too many great comments about this.
36. Choz
21 May 2007, 18:59 GMT
Remember having 99% found items, searching for that last %age, and just couldnt find it...! Well, one of the best snes games avaible if not the best. definatly worth spending some points on.
37. lil_humbug
22 May 2007, 20:35 GMT
Best. Game. Ever. I must have completed this a dozen times. In a word, FANTASTIC! If you haven't played it, do so, it can't be praised highly enough. The way your weapons upgrade and still keep the last upgrade as well is genius! Buy this. NOW! Come on Nintendo, feed my blood-lust and release this game..... Please!
38. Justin188
24 May 2007, 12:54 GMT
I really like the platform metroids like metroid fusion, metroid zero mission and the NES metroid. I hope super metroid is as good I've never played super metroid, well I have but only the start of super metroid. If you have not played any platform metroid than play SUPER METROID.
39. Wolfman
28 May 2007, 16:17 GMT
This game is truly a masterpiece. Easily the finest platformer of its type.
The original NES Metroid is a good game, but not only is it much weaker than this installment, it hasn't aged as well.
Super Metroid is the most atmospheric, intense experience I think any 2-D system saw. It is to video games what Alien was to movies back in the late 70's. It just totally changed the game world.
You may laugh at me for this, but I think that the 2-dimensional Metroid games (Super, Fusion, Zero Mission, etc.) are among the most frightening games possible without 3-D. Just think about Fusion: Whenever the SA-X is nearby, it just gets freaky.
If you have never played Super Metroid, be sure to buy this one when it comes out. It is well worth the Wii points; it may be the perfect game, really. The scope and scale of it are just incredible.
40. lil_humbug
31 May 2007, 16:13 GMT
One thing that has to be mentioned about this game is also the music. It has one of the most atmospheric soundtracks of any game and really draws you in. This may be an action game, but in places, largely due to the music, it has you more tense and on the edge of your seat than most modern survival horrors! I still can't praise this game highly enough, and Nintendo NEED to release this! (I think I'm being a bit lazy though, as I have this and a SNES upstairs in a drawer and can't be bothered setting it up! Maybe if Nintendo don't release it on VC soon.... I do have some holiday coming up
)
41. William
03 Jun 2007, 21:41 GMT
Man.. this talk from you guys make me want to DL (download) SM on my VC! Man... I can't hardly wait for it to come out! Although, Zelda II (NES) will be out tomorrow. YAHOO!!
42. SKTTR
10 Jun 2007, 01:49 GMT
this is the most atmospheric title on the SNES.
it's also the best action adventure in space.
everyone i know loved it, everyone can play it.
the thrills, the puzzles, the secret passages, the astounding endbosses.
after super metroid every other metroid was disappointing.
super metroid is simply super. it has not aged a day.
43. Shadow
12 Jun 2007, 13:38 GMT
^^Um... Yah... Nothing describes metroid like a little good poetry?^^
Actually, I have to say that in my oppinion, this game is tied for best in the series with Metoid Prime. But I really want this to be released soon, but I'm willing to bet that this will be released around the same time as MP3 or given as a preoder bonus
44. Ryu-mithril
13 Jun 2007, 08:11 GMT
Nourez is probably right but i hope wrong...i hope it comes before then...and this game to me is better than prime because of all of the different ways you can beat it
45. Spike
15 Jun 2007, 14:41 GMT
this game is probably one of the best game sup to date. of course.. its metroid...
i cant wait for it!
46. Ouenben
17 Jun 2007, 00:54 GMT
I'd say its 100 times better than Prime myself.
Recently borrowed it off a friend on the Snes and got half way and the save deleted.
So decided to wait for the VC version to finish it, but i might just lose my patience and play the Snes one again.
i'd hardly say every metroid after it was disappointing, Metroid fusion was very similar but linear and guided by a computer, metroid zero mission is brilliant too.
I want a new 2D metroid on the VC and/or DS
47. sashaboo
17 Jun 2007, 16:02 GMT
Super metroid for the SNES was the first metroid game i had ever played and i became very addicted to it and its amazing sense of exploration and atmosphere. I have completed it several time but not in a long time so i am looking forward to downloading this gem. However i do not rate it as a better game than MP or MP2 echoes simply because the boss fights were far to easy in super metroid especially the last boss i could beat it with my eyes shut. In MP and MP2 the boss fights were a real on the edge of your seat adrenaline pumped battle to the end but still retained all the elements that made super metroid a classic.
48. CraftierPantz
21 Jun 2007, 07:45 GMT
Awhile back I bought Super Metroid because the Metroid series is my favorite game series and also I had heard how amazing the game was. I got pretty far in it, I think, but then I stopped playing it for some reason. I have played all of the other Metroid games, except for the one for the original Gameboy. So far Metroid Prime is my absolute favorite game of the series, but also my favorite game of all time. I think the music in the game is phenomenal and I love the story in it.
I am dying for Nintendo to release this for the Virtual Console and I cannot wait to go through it and beat it.
The only thing I can remember from the game is the menu, and watching all of it, and thinking it was freaking sweet, like it was gonna be a freaking awesome game. Can't Wait!
49. Ouenben
23 Jun 2007, 21:53 GMT
I have this feeling that on 25th June, USA gamers will get super metroid, if not then it'll be a pretty good game (ie. Yoshi's island or something)
Then again i'll probably be disappointed.
50. Ouenben
24 Jun 2007, 18:20 GMT
I gave in and started playing the Snes version, I couldn't wait any longer! unless its out tomorrow i'm just gonna plough through the SNES version.
51. Xenesis
01 Jul 2007, 19:41 GMT
I have to say, that while SM is indeed the shining gemstone of the Metroid series, a lot of the truly cool bits are lost if you haven't finished the original Metroid first.
52. ouenben
03 Jul 2007, 13:20 GMT
What makes you say that?
I've completed Zero mission so thats kinda like i've finished the original.
I guess you're referring to:
[SPOILERS]
Old and New tourian, Mother brains old tank, the baby metroid from Metroid 2, re-appearing bosses, same area where you get morph ball at the start etc?
[SPOILER END]
I attempted to finish this on my dads Xbox emulators but he sold it when I was half way through, then borrowed my friends SNES version and got half way through and the save deleted.
Finally last weekend I completed it for the first time, 7:12 hours, 84% which isn't too bad.
Main thing though is that I enjoyed the whole thing, except madridia but I have a deep hatred for Water in videogames, I don't think there any exceptions either! Maybe ecco, but i only like mucking about on it.
Anyway it was a very good game, I will purchase it when it comes out on the VC and complete it again, I love beating up mother brain now and again! =]
Now I look forward to a NEW 2D metroid, bigger and better than Super metroid.
53. William
07 Jul 2007, 08:02 GMT
Well... still no release on SM for the Wii... although, I've downloaded SMB2, and it's good. I'm not sure about downloading SF (Street Fighter) II: Turbo; although, it has rated 5 stars. Think it's worth the DL? Btw, I rate SM 5 stars! It's a believer! Ha ha.

57. Robert
24 Jul 2007, 01:31 GMT
It'll be worth the wait, the greatest installment of the series.
Metroid 1 and Zero Mission are at it's tail.
In my opinion the greatest game ever made.

umm.. I don't think you have even played this game before.. the last boss is the easiest boss of them all.. or.. almost.. if you could get passed the 2 golden enemies, you could easily beat the final boss..

10 Aug 2007, 17:06 GMT
Hoo boy. I remember buying this game from Wal-Mart back in the day for only $15 (lucky, I guess). Metroid has been one of those franchises that gets better and better with each new installment. Super Metroid was the high water mark not only for the franchise, but for action/adventure games in general.
I've already beaten this game, so I don't think I'll be downloading it when it comes out August 20th. However, I will give it 5 Stars for the sake of nostalgia. I also recommend it to anyone looking for one of the best Action/Adventure titles anywhere across any generation of gaming platforms.

First things first, I'm not a Metroid nut. I borrowed this game in 1994 and beat it. In 1999 the urge to replay it came with much force. I borrowed and beat it again. In 2002 it happened again... Then a few months back. GET THIS GAME.

Never had the chance to play it on a TV (I was a Genesis kid, unfortunately), so it'll be nice to not have to play it on a computer screen.
Beats out Prime as my favorite Metroid game, and is surely one of the best of the genre.

I have enjoyed playing Matroid Fusion on the GBA and can't wait till Super Metroid on the SNES for the VC.
I have never played the Metroid Prime series because of how I have dodgy aiming with the controlls but with the Wii-mote, I think this will improve my quick aiming.
So yeah, Metroid Corruption and Super Metroid are ones I will love to play soon on my Wii.

It's just the atmosphere in the game that is created by the surroundings and the soundtrack, hard to explain. It's a game that will create fond memories for the ones who didn't play it back then.
Metroid Prime 1 & 2 where great games, but it didn't beat the first and third Metroid.

@TBoneTony
You are aware that aiming in Prime 1 and 2 uses a lock on feature right? All you need to do is aim in the general vicinity of your target to lock onto it.
On Super Metroid, it is absolutely a contender for the best game ever made. I own the cart and have a perfectly functioning SNES compact model so I'll be skipping the VC release. For everyone who doesn't own this game, buy it.

I cannot wait till Monday. I have been wanting Super Metroid to come out for so long now and its only a day away. I should be trying to beat the original now, but I will just wait and rip open Super first.

Best videogame ever made.
This had to be played on it's time, it was an experience like no other. The dark and futuristic visuals, the incredibly immersive music, the complexity of the maps, the bosses...
It's still a must download for the VC, just don't expect to feel the impact you would 13 years ago.

Absolutely the greatest game I've ever played. It defined my childhood...what an incredible experience. Seriously, if you're actually sat here wondering whether or not to buy this game (god forbid), you should go back to primary school - nobody should be that foolish!
I simply cannot wait for this to come out on VC in England.

Important question - how will/does this play with a GC controller as I don't have a classic controller yet?
82. Drake
20 Aug 2007, 16:20 GMT
If playing Metroid on Metroid Zero Mission on the Game Boy Player for GC is anything to go by - Horrible. Get a CC for this, honestly.
83. Mortalis Deus
20 Aug 2007, 17:06 GMT
@Drake.
Honestly maybe you should play the game before rating it? Not to sound harsh but whats the point otherwise?
Super Metroid is above and beyond anything the Metroid Zero Mission game had to offer. Give it a try.
84. Drake
20 Aug 2007, 17:07 GMT
I was responding to the person above me who was asking how it would play with a Classic Controller. Also, if you didn't notice, I'm the reviewer for Super Metroid.

i only ever really got to know the first three metroid games. i liked them all to a certain degree but the first one will always be my fav... this one looks better and the music is amazing and it is extremely fun but there's just something about how amazing the first one was when compared to any other video game released before it... it was a true landmark game...
this one improves on the first one in a lot of ways. it is a little easier because of the new map feature but there still are a lot of frustrating areas. i think it's probably the best entry point into the series for anyone who is new to the 8-bit and 16-bit generation games...
though it is fun, metroid 2 is probably (by far) the worst of the series as it lacked a lot fo the creative puzzle solving of the first one and this one. also, some the items in metroid 2 are just simply annoying (the spider ball for examble).
my advice, get this game. if you like it, get the original metroid. and forget metroid 2 ever existed. i'm actually getting into zero mission right now and i'm loving it. it seems to be a good combination of all of the things i loved about this game and the original metroid...

91. Lost Heaven
20 Aug 2007, 20:34 GMT
It's out now, just go get it. Probably the best week of the VC's life xD
I promissed myself to only download it after I beat Metroid I (also purchased it for the VC), and I will do so. What better motivation to finish a game?
92. Aldonn
20 Aug 2007, 20:41 GMT
I'm scared about this game. I played Metroid Fusion, and thought it was okay, but I never beat it. I'm really bad when it comes to beating games, maybe I'm just really bad at games. Side scrollers particularly. I got the original Metroid, and haven't beat it yet...or even come close. I'm scared to get Super Metroid, because I'm afraid it'll be the same thing. I'm so bad at Side scrollers, I wish Nintendo would release some games in different genres...
93. Nick
20 Aug 2007, 21:57 GMT
Good heavens, I love this game. I remember it fondly when I was a teenager, and I loved it when I snagged it from a friend and I don't think I ever returned it (Sorry Kyle!!) - it has forever been my favorite game, and I've played through countless times.
The first time I replayed it after say 6 years it took me 8 hours, because of the love of everything, the weapons, the special moves, all the secrets and man - that music. It's a combination of meloncholy and uttery amazing beauty.
This has such depth, such story, but without anything ever being said. Those silent moments running from corridor to corridor, it's impossible to relate just how awesome that is.
For anyone who liked Fusion - Bleh to you. That game turned Samus into an idiot. This game, THIS game is Samus in her finest since Metroid Prime. Get it, if you don't like it - at least you know you own one of the best games ever!!
94. Poopface
20 Aug 2007, 22:31 GMT
To the poster not far above...are you kidding me? Metroid 2 was amazing! I'm not sure how many more puzzle elements were in either the first game or Super Metroid than this one, it was structurally a different game for sure, and I never thought the spider ball was all that annoying. If Metroid 2 did one thing flawlessly, it was how they set the ambience and the mood/tone, using creepy audio effects instead of music to fill in the cave areas, if you were ballsy enough to explore them. Metroid 2 in my opinion is vastly underrated, and the original Metroid is vastly overrated, as I think (despite being fun) the two GBA ones are as well. I find spinesharking in those games more annoying than virtually anything in any other Metroid game.
Super Metroid, however, is purely awesome.

Ok, 4 months late. Not bad
Btw, gonna get this one as soon as I get home. Been waiting for this release since I got my Wii (February), Super Metroid is the awesomeness in its most pure, thrilling and addicting form. Going to try to finish it in less than 2 hours again

21 Aug 2007, 02:38 GMT
I agree with the majority of the posts here- SM is the all-time greatest Metroid game ever made. I still own it on my SNES, but will download anyway for sake of convenience.
I wonder when SMB3 (all-time greatest Mario game ever made) will be released-perhaps a week before Galaxy? That seems to be the trend with the franchise games on the Virtual Console so far: release the retro games before or around the same time as the next gen version to raise the hype. Pretty clever if you ask me, my VC library is proof of that!
97. Nathan
21 Aug 2007, 12:47 GMT
Hey, what else can be said about Super Metroid? Definitely one of the best games ever... 5 stars.
Oh yeah, and they (Nintendo) should go back and make another 2D Metroid for the Wii, using only the classic controller of course.

Here's another vote for a 2D Metroid for Wii!! I love the Primes, but think about how amazing a new Metroid platformer could be with the Wii's capabilities. Maybe throw in the whole 2D/3D dimensional swapping from Super Paper Mario...? It could be really cool.
101. michinmuri
22 Aug 2007, 05:13 GMT
Some consider this the best game ever. It's hard to disagree. Look at all the rave reviews above. This game shines even in it's age. A must have for the VC. If you don't have it, get it NOW!!!
102. Mortalis Deus

I've been playing with the GameCube controller, and as long as you make the A button Jump and the B button Fire, it isn't that bad.
I bought this game exactly 1 minute after it was released, basing my opinion only on Drake's review (I've never played the game before). Now it's probably the most-played VC game I have (second to Kirby's Adventure).
There are a few problems, like the fact that wall-jumping can be a pain with the GC controller, and that some rooms are just plain annoying (like rooms with spikes that bounce you all around), but these are nothing in comparison to the general length and fun factor of the game. I've been playing for about 8 hours so far and I've barely been bored once.
If you're interested in the platformer-shooter genre and have never played it before, buy it. It's one of the best VC games out there. If you're not into exploring, though, you might want to give it a pass, or at least print out a map.
108. Quiggy
26 Aug 2007, 17:05 GMT
I had never played this game before until I downloaded it last Monday, and I just finished it this Sunday. Simply put, this is the greatest Metroid game ever as well as the greatest SNES game ever. That's saying a lot, seeing as how much I love games like Metroid Prime or Link to the Past. Download it now.

115. Peksu

The month of Metroid is gonna be probably nice and all(I assume we're gonna have one), but it's annoying to have VC releases bound to actual release dates. And we all know how fast games get to Europe.
Oh, and this really deserves the 5-star rating. The best 2-D Metroid game in the series.
116. Manaman

I first played Super Metroid when it first came out on the SNES. I really hope this gem of a game will come out on the Wii Virtual Console. The game is so much better then Metroid Prime. I am currently replaying Metroid Fusion as that game kinda remind's me of Super Metroid but maybe that's just me. One question though, when is Super Metroid coming out in England?

Metroid 2 is still too obscure to anyone.
But you won't hear me crying for it here, as I don't think (and find almost stupid) that there will ever be a GB emulator.
If you really miss my metroidy whining, no problem: who the hell has decided to deny the existece of Metroid Dread????

Great game. have to say this is the most fun exploration game I've played of the 16 bit generation. and for those who are a fan of this (and Castlevania) you should check out Castlevania: Symphony of the night. It's super metroid in the castlevania universe where you get different armors/weapons.

This really is such a brilliant game- I don't really know how it manages to be so good, but it just is. Trust me. This is the best Metroid game (though Prime 1 and Prime 3 come close) and I'd even go as far as to say its the best SNES game ever, and the best Nintendo game released before Super Mario 64!
139. darthmix

I've played all the Metroid titles and since I don't like first person shooters this for me easily ranks as the best Metroid game and I was lucky to have played this version of the game first. Fusion and Zero on the GBA are alright but this one seems to have the quality of when Nintendo was releasing this game as their main game in their line up. This game was mega when it came out 70 quid plus the players guide. Now that the Prime trilogy is coming to an end I wonder if they will release a new 2d version for the Wii at some point . But I hope it isn't like the DS update New Super Mario Bros as the game just seemed way too easy and more like a side game in their lineup although a major release on the DS it just had something missing compared to other 2d Mario titles

I've never played a Metroid game, and I just downloaded this based on the excellent reviews. They're right. This is one of the greatest SNES games I've ever played. Very, very well-paced exploration game with some fun (and some frustrating) platforming and interesting puzzles. You'll keep returning to old areas of the map to find that one little thing you couldn't get to before.

This game is quite confusing to be a five star game. Sometimes when playing this game I think: What am I supposed to do?
151. Mad Bomber
22 Jan 2008, 20:09 GMT
Ok. This is an amazing game, blah blah blah...
I think I've played far too many of the GBA Metroids to fully appreciate the awesomeness of this game. It is most certainly a 5 star game but I can't help but feel like I've done all this before.
I'm sure that's how most of you feel about the GBA games.
I just wish I had played this when it originally came out on the SNES.
Classic game. Beautiful graphics. Perfect sound and moody music.
I don't have a bad thing to say about it, but I think I liked Fusion and Zero Mission better. <Shrug>
152. Keith
22 Jan 2008, 23:42 GMT
Probably one of the best games of all time. Whenever I pick up a controller to play this game, I can't put it down until I beat it.

24 Jan 2008, 08:21 GMT
DO NOT MISS SUPER METROID. This is my favorite SNES game, and probably my favorite VC title of the sixty or so I've downloaded.
I don't know how to give this game the praise it deserves: Level design, atmosphere, art design, music, boss fights, power-up placements . . . this game doesn't miss a beat, ever; it starts and ends with a bang, with every piece so perfectly-crafted that 2-D gaming. It's two predecessors laid some basic groundwork for this type of interconnected level-design, but the ambition level is through the roof here--I dare say the presentation is the tightest and most atmospheric ever developed by Nintendo (though in my opinion Super Mario Galaxy comes closest . . . and no, I'm not forgetting ANY of the Zelda titles), and coupled with said company's talent for setting the bar for fantastic game design, and we have something absolutely extraordinary. This is as close to perfect as electronic gaming gets. This is NOT to be ignored by anyone who plays games, period. 5/5
Eh, should I rank the Metroids? I actually sat down and decided to rank my top 20 games or so (out of between three or four hundred I've played). Metroid Prime was number 3, and this was number six. I actually feel that MP had absolutely the greatest level design in a 3-D game to this day, and even edges out Super Metroid in this area (though it falters in music). Regardless, I feel that MP and Super Metroid both are head and shoulders above all the other games in the series to the point that I don't care too much about comparing the rest, but here goes anyway:
1. Metroid Prime
2. Super Metroid
3. Metroid (1)
4. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
5. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
6. Metroid Fusion
7. Metroid 2: Return of Samus
155. The shoemaker

I was playing it again today for 3 hours straight, and you know how much farther I got? Nowhere I'm in the same place as i was before. But I found 3 missile, 1 super missile, and 1 super bomb expansion. And I found the spazor beam thing. And I've found some new rooms, found new places to restore health. My map is looking less blue, but Nowhere closer to beating the game. I just noticed today about how good the graphics are. have you ever looked at samus and all of her details, the way she jumps, all of the movements in the air. The way she holds her gun with her other hand. same with the enemies. Such a hard game. 5/5

27 Jan 2008, 19:32 GMT
Super Metroid is without a doubt a must-own game for any action-adventure fans. As far as the SNES games go, its one of the best side-scrollers. The big thing about SM that was so wonderful is the feeling of exploration. Along with pretty much any Metroid game in the series, there are always new weapons you need to progress, which ivolves some backtracking, but just enough to keep it from being a chore.
Overall, this game definitly gets my 5 star rating. With great graphics, sounds, and gameplay there really is no big flaws in this game. Download it...play it...enjoy it.
158. Deadeyerobbie

I had never played this before, but i had heard so many great things about it i had to download it. Brillant. This game is huge and first time round if you are like me and have to collect all the power ups, you will spend 20+ hours. All time well spend. This is right up there as one of the best run & gun side scrollers. (almost as good as Turrican 2 on the amiga).

As fantastic as Corruption is (and it is a really sweet game) this is and I believe, always will be the high-point of the series. This is sort of the reason why I love the mythology and character so much. I played and finished Metroid II like a million times before this came out and it, but when it did, it was like eating pizza for the first time- truely sublime!

Fans of this should give Metroid II (for the game boy) a serious try. It's pretty awesome, too.

I liked this game a lot on the SNES, but how does it feel to play on the Gamecube controller?

Best Metroid ever? YES.
Only Metroid Prime is as "magic" as this one...
My recommendation for SNES games is to use Classic Controller. The GameCube controller is only useful playing N64 games...

True, very very under-rated game, Metroid II.
Super Metroid 10/10 (My fav game ever)
Metroid 9.2/10
Metroid II 9.5/10
Metroid Prime 8.0/10
Metroid Prime 2 8.7/10

One of my all time favorite games on the SENS so naturally it was a must buy for me.

this is undeniably polished, my only complaint is that it doesent offer that much of a challenge, a few of the bosses were decently hard, but i am a pumped-up gamer my X button needs to pushed to the linits, i am a big fan of gradius that way, this awesome too though!!
