Super Metroid aged so well, I can't even believe it's 30 years old.

When the Nerd says "I tried the Screwattack", man, that does take me back to the past...

Super Metroid was one of those rare games as a kid where you felt like it changed your life after completing it

It's certainly a ploy that Samus is refered to as male in the instruction manual. Because in one of the last pages it says if you destroy Mother Brain a big secret will be revealed depending on how fast you beat the game.

The storytelling in Super Metroid is flawless for a game.<br>The bond to the baby Metroid is instant, and when Samus rescues it, you're right there with her. It's crazy how hard that ending slaps without a single word of dialogue, and remaining completely in gameplay style.

that empty level in Metroid 2 is to show you what the metroids have done to the biology of the planet. It's completely dead. The wildlife is completely dead. It reinforces the urgency and directness of Samus's quest.<br><br>It was a very subtle thing but it was intentional and quite interesting.

My uncle played the HELL out of Metroid, I used to sit and watch him playing, he had whole hand drawn graph paper maps he made as he played. It's a fond memory I have, my family didn't get a Nintendo until wayyyy late in the 80's, so it was a novelty to get to visit him and play NES games.

Absolutely love these positive Nerd episodes. Castlevania, Contra, Earthbound and now this. I like the regular episodes, but the ones were the Nerd takes a back seat and the “real” James comes out to talk about games he genuinely enjoys are pure gold.

Can’t believe it took James 20 years to do anything Metroid related for AVGN

This episode looks like a lost library book, because it's way overdue!
