Oh, and if you find yourself here after Dread has already released, then I'll give you a detailed rundown of the next step you should take after playing Fusion...

PLAY DREAD IT ON SWITCH

Answer to playing all the 2D Metroid games up until Dread: a homebrewed 3DS

This video is the reason I *didn't* get into emulation! I've *never* emulated all the other Metroid games and played them to catch up to Dread, and they were fantastic. I also *absolutely would never* realize the full potential of emulating and get to play all sorts of great games I missed out on. Thanks Arlo, for *talking me out* of ever trying an emulator!

I can't believe Arlo forgot the most important game of them all: Metroid Prime Pinball.

I've followed your advice to a T, Arlo. I played through Zero Mission on GBA and I was instantly addicted. I thought the huge areas and the exploration would scare me off but I loved the feeling of getting a new powerup and thinking, "OH HEY I saw some blocks I could destroy with this in that first area, let me go back and explore some more!" It was terrific, loads of fun. Dusted off my New 3DS and purchased Samus Returns from the eShop, and that was a really fun game as well. I do have to say that after reading some comments and seeing some reviews, I do think Nintendo made a few mistakes regarding the ending of the game when considering the effect that Metroid 2: Return of Samus's ending had on the player. And that makes me want to play through that one as well just to see if I can handle a mapless adventure. Still real fun though.
And as of last night, I've just finished Super Metroid. What a fun and fluid game that was. And the ending was pure spectacle, I enjoyed it so much. I think I'll be starting Fusion some time this week, and then I'll just be twiddling my thumbs and grinding my teeth until October. I'm so excited for Dread, and I hope more people follow your advice and PLAY METROID. You've gained another Metroid fan into your ranks.

Okay so after seeing this and how important it was to a certain number of people, I decided to play a Metroid game. Before this I had no desire to play Metroid, I had never played a single Metroid game in my life. Now currently I’m playing Metroid Zero Mission, and I have to say, IT’S AWESOME! I’m loving it a ton, and I’m definitely getting Metroid Dread when it comes out. Thank you so much Arlo for showing me what I’ve been missing all these years!

The "no emulation!" rant killed me

Lmao i love how in so many other fandoms there’s a lot of gatekeeping, but the Metroid fandom is doing the exact opposite right now.
“PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLAY THIS SERIES OF GAMES!! You enjoyed Hollow Knight, right? Played a couple indie metroid-vanias in your day? Well have i got a game series for YOU, my friend!”

One thing that blew me away recently was realizing how close Subnautica is to a Metroid game. The idea that you had access to the whole map from the get go only for lack of having the right tools

Me: How can I get my hands on some Metroid?

Arlo: The secret ingredient is crime.

Arlo: “you saw a lot of VERY enthusiastic reactions”

Also Arlo: *completely losing it*

In all seriousness, thank you for helping introduce me to Metroid. Loved Dread and coming back to this now that I’m partway into Prime Remastered and absolutely loving the series

My friend borrowed me new 3ds with the Metroid: Samus Returns a few years back and I still enjoyed it without knowing anything. So do not stress yourself about knowing the story. The gameplay is just that good.
