Also I can't help but feel like this is revisionist history Metroid has never been able to touch Mario or Zelda (and Zelda itself can barely touch Mario). The NES Metroid sold pretty well, but at least at the time it wasn't well above contemporaries like Punch-Out and Kid Icarus. I don't think Metroid truly earned its reputation until Super Metroid, and even at that point there were only three games in the series with no plans for more at the time. It's always been a B-lister for Nintendo, albeit one that has a lot of critical acclaim and prestige. <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:908515430] in Most surpr...
