I am going to be honest and say that the original Metroid for NES, is not great. Its feels, even compared to games of its time, very flawed. Something that I am mostly drawn to say due to how it feels as if Nintendo wanted to do so much with the game, wasn't able to due to the NES hardware, and still put it out in a lackluster state. I didn't find the game very intriguing, and just kept finding flaws and issues around almost every corner. Due to this I will not be finishing Metroid, and will instead play the remaster for gba. With all that said however, I do respect what this game started, it was a building block of the metriod-vania genres (duh, its in the name), and I can understand where this game was able to influence in that manner.
