The place in the fediverse to discuss all things metroid: news, theories, memes, fanarts, etc..

Let's be nice and create a wholesome community.

N.B. we don't like artwork sexualizing Samus, so don't even bother posting.

How long have you been into Metroid? (self.metroid)

Since this community is new I wanted to spark some discussion.

I've been a fan for years and used to frequent forums for the series back in the day. I learned about Metroid from a friend back when I was in elementary school (probably around 2004-2006 I honestly can't remember). I played Fusion and eventually Zero Mission on my GBA.

When I was in middle school I learned about Super Metroid ROM Hacks and watched tons of let's plays of them back then. Eventually I got Super Metroid myself on Wii VC and got to play a bit myself.

After that I didn't branch out too much. I only really played Prime 1 and did play AM2R when that released. I still enjoy coming back to the series though.

What's your experience?

I don't remember if I played Metroid on the NES; I did play Metroid 2 on the original Gameboy though and later borrowed Super Metroid for a few days. But it was only on an emulator (ZSNES) that I finished Super Metroid. And Metroid Dread was the final reason why I bought a Switch after staying away from Nintendo for 2 decades.
