The full story of Samus Aran's first mission finally unfolds...
The first Metroid game just scratched the surface of the cataclysmic events on planet Zebes, and at long last the rest of the tale has come to light. Experience the first of Samus's legendary adventures through all-new cut-scenes and action sequences as the bounty hunter races through the deeps toward her showdown with the leader of the Space Pirates. But will the end of Mother Brain really mean the end of the story...?
Completion of the game unlocks an emulated version of the original Metroid game. Zero Mission also allow players to unlock the Metroid Fusion picture gallery by linking between Zero Mission and Fusion cartridges via the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable.

Ok so i finished Metroid Fusion 2 weeks ago and today i started this. I only played 50 minutes and i'm really hoping that, just like Fusion, this gets better as you advance, because so far it's way, waaay worse than Fusion :/
So far this are my comments: Level design is more interesting than Fusion. The music is very …

So far this are my comments: Level design is more interesting than Fusion. The music is very ominous, it's cool. Platforming sections are more fun than Fusion. Despite all that, the gameplay feels bare bones... i feel like this is because it was originally an NES game and the gameplay design wasn't polished yet, idk i've never played an NES game.
It'll take me a while to finish it, i'm juggling 3 other games + 2 projects for uni and this really didn't give me a good first impression so i don't think i'll be opening it very often.

been playing this game for about a week or so, maybe more, and in my opinion this is the best "Use you brain to solve this" game I've ever played.

I am once again thinking about the Metroid Zero Mission title theme

I take back what I said about Mother Brain being bullshit. Just Screw Attack through everything and you're good.

Between this game and Circle of the Moon, I'm getting pretty fucking sick of playing through entire GBA games only to find that the final boss is fucking impossible.
What's the deal with all of the insufferable juggling bullshit they added to this Mother Brain fight that wasn't in the NES version?

Hollow Knight fans waiting for Silksong, join me by getting into the Metroid series while we wait for both Metroid Dread and Silksong. Start with Zero Mission.

100% item completion on normal. took like 4 hours just to complete and like 6 and a half for 100%. Shine sparking is WAY overused for some of the puzzles but otherwise the cleanup was fun. Still I have no desire to speedrun this entry nor get the hardmode endings. This game is great but I think it's more fun …

Still I have no desire to speedrun this entry nor get the hardmode endings. This game is great but I think it's more fun when you're just exploring more organically.

An absolute masterpiece. The game starts at a fast pace and it never slows down (unless you're going after all the items). I think it's the best looking, best sounding official 2-D Metroid game with the best controls by far that is buttery smooth, controlling samus feels so fast but so precise. I think out of all the 2-D Metroid …
