And thus, the Metroidvania genre was born.

So glad I can experience this game without playing it for myself! Was greatly innovative at the time but is hard to get into compared to the newer games.

I'll gladly watch proper playthroughs of any and all Metroid games!

Thanks for helping me fulfill my mission to beat the OG Metroid. I love the ending especially if you get good one and you find out the character Samus is a female but I didn’t know once you beat the game you can play again this time out of the suit, it definitely gives it replay ability making it interesting for 2nd play threw. I can tell how original franchises that started on NES are such house hold names like Kirby, Mario, Zelda and no doubt about it Metroid. Next week I plan on watching another of your videos, this one may take me longer to beat but I’m excited to try out Zelda Link to the Past next week. Thanks again for helpful videos that make the game fun to play 😎👍

The music or OST I This game and Mega Man 2 and 5 got me into video game music.

It may be old, but it is still without a doubt the best Metroid game on the NES.

i have watched so many speed runs of this its weird seeing it played the proper way

I played this on my 3DS through the Virtual Console. I didn’t finish it but i had a great time.
But the first Metroid game i ever played was Prime on the Gamecube(ah, nostalgia...). Then, i played Prime 2: Echoes and Prime 3: Corruption on the Wii(not my favorite of the 3).
I know that music was on a special mode in Tetris DS.
Thanks, RGS.

1:27:47: The moment when everyone realized "SAMUS IS A GIRL?!?!?!?"

[rikosaikawa]

I beat Ridley first because I always have a hard time getting the energy tank by kraid without the jump boots and it’s just more convenient that way

[asdfqwer]

Everyone Gangster till he gets to Tourian.😅

[testespider]

all it needs is metroid prime 3 and metroid samus return/ metroid 2 return of samus

[M_Alexander]

Having only recently played Super Metroid myself, I tried to give this one a try and just can't. Without features like crouching and a minimap I just can't

[Rokabur]

The only reason to even play this over Zero Mission is to see how the franchise started and to say you beat it.
