I personally really like the sleek, refined look of Zero Mission's Thoha statues, but I also really like Dread's. I'm liking the new look of the ones in Ravenous, too, though not fond of the big holes in the shoulders.

It’s not a negative or anything but I just thought Ridley is like Samus’s bowser ,I am also confused about most of the story

first metroid game and I try get up this thing and I realize you get air from bombs So I just bombed jumped I’m playing Zero Mission on NSO

Mine was Zero Mission because i wanted to play Dread, but wanted the whole story so i started from the start. Followed by Samus Returns, Super, Fusion and finally Dread. It was an awesome journey!

Genuinely curious what that symbol is supposed to be if it's anything at all that is.

EDIT: Alright you buncha horn dogs I get it lmao.

My friend showed me the trailer for it and it looked so cool I really wanna play it! But is Metroid one of those series that’s super lore heavy or can I just go in and have a good time?

So the reason Dread isn't here is cuz I don't have a Switch only a 3DS.

So seems like Fusion, Zero Mission and Samus Returns are my options?

I've never played a Metroid (or Metroidvania for that matter). WHAT should I start with from these three?

I like the graphics of Samus Returns the most but I see it has a mixed reception, so I'd appreciate to know what among the 3 might be the best?

As someone who is new to the franchise, which game do I get first: Metroid Prime Remastered or Metroid Dread?

Samus probably never named it so she wouldn’t get attached so I’m curious what y’all would pick

First time playing through all the games by order of release, and I have already finished zero mission for the first game.

Artist is noababoa on Twitter

I have a spare copy of Metroid Dread Special Edition that I'm thinking of selling.

Everything is new in box (the game, steelbook, art book, and art cards), though the box itself has been opened and a little beat up around the edges.

Original MSRP was $89.99 USD but eBay prices are all over the place.

My question is: what do you all think is a fair price if I were to list it for sale? What would you pay?

I'm not trying to scalp the game, I want a Metroid fan to get a good deal.

EDIT:
Thanks for the thoughtful replies. I did end up selling it peer-to-peer to ensure an actual fan received it, and they didn't have to pay extra to offset platform seller fees.

On the scalping thing, I should've been more clear that I meant I didn't want to sell it at a price that a scalper would try to get. I know it's a collectible item, which typically means it goes up in value over time.

But with all the justified vitriol toward the practice of scalping, renewed by what's happening with the Ravenous special edition, I wanted to gauge what the community here thought would be fair in this climate of scalpers ruining the resale experience trying to buy Metroid games.
Thanks again!

What do you want in Metroid 6 for the Nintendo Switch 2 system?

I really want to get into Metroid lore (mainly Samus as a character) but generally don’t like metroidvania games. Don’t get me wrong, if i’m really feeling the gameplay i’ll play it start to finish, but the older, more outdated games with very little story feel like a slog.

That said, am i able to just jump in anywhere? Such as the prime series or more recent ones.

Just, that one area that just frustrates you to no end and ends up being the point where you tend to just stop playing.

For me, its getting the furnace-room missile tank in Metroid Prime 1.

I get that he's a Bounty Hunter but what kind of Species is He?

Metroid has Such a Mysterious cast of Characters

*This doesn't count ports, and I'm not counting Trilogy or Remastered as I don't feel they offer enough new content to qualify as an "original" title. Despite this rule, I will count the remakes Zero Mission and Samus Returns to make this more interesting. Otherwise it would just be between GameCube, Wii, and Switch, and ultimately I feel they offer enough new content to warrant them as being counted as separate titles.

I'm also allowing you to count Beyond's Switch 2 Edition as a "Switch" game, even if it's not technically accurate.

I never tried Metroid Prime series. Are there any demos or something? Id hate to find out later i love the series but passed this deal down

I'm currently playing Super (It's being so peak), and after that, the only game in the 2d saga left for me is the 2nd one.

I can't play the gb version (I mean I can but Idk if I could beat it, 8bit metroidvanias scares me and are impossible for me to play), so, that only left me with 2 options, the fan remake and the oficcial one.

Now, I don't have a 3ds, it's to expensive to me at this very moment. Metroid it's my main reason for buy a 3ds (that and the zelda games) but I don't know if it would be better play the fangame instead of waiting years for me to play the oficcial one (and emulate 3ds is just so unconfy and weird. Also since I already beat dread, maybe the 3ds version would be more familiar gameplay wise?).

With Super Mario Galaxy, the 2nd movie for Mario, Donkey Kong making an appearance in the first movie, and Ledgend of Zelda live action in production do you want to see Metroid movie? If so animated or live action? Who would you cast for Samus?
