I was going to stick with SNES/GEN, but I'm curious how this one does.
8/10

Not a huge Metroid fan, but I enjoyed this one.

Rate previous game:

Mortal Kombat 2 - 7.2 sounds about right to me. Classic that deserves to be lower than so many of these bangers we rated, but not Pokmon!

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.
9/10.
I just decided to change this sig.

It was ok. I found the level design extremely frustrating to navigate and annoyingly linear.

Would have ben a 9+, but those EMMI sections really took away from the exploration and stuff that I was enjoying. If there were no EMMIs it would have been a top 3 Metroid for me, but those sections ruined it for me so badly that it's near the bottom.

Mostly this for me too. The end sequence though was A-MAZING!

I was really disappointed by this game. It fails to deliver anything I want out of a Metroidvania game or a Metroid franchise game. If it wasn't associated with Metroid I might call it a solid 2D action game, but then I also probably wouldn't have bought/played it in that case.

I played this game a few months ago and I literally do not remember anything except the Emmi sections and a few of the bosses.
