  You can tell this person is doing this because they’re passionate about it, and not just because they feel obligated to do it to make more money, if you look at the subscriber count. This is a passion video, not a monetary venture. I couldn’t believe how underrated this channel was when I saw how well edited the videos on it are. Massive props to the channel creator.

  Interesting fact about repetitiveness: those identical areas aren&apos;t so much copy-pasted as literally on the exact same memory location in the ROM. Metroid split the game into large segments that were reused to save on storage space while inflating the world size.<br><br>By the way, the reason Metroid used a password system on the NES is because saves via battery backups were new at the time, meaning presumably they didn&apos;t have enough time to add the feature. (The Legend of Zelda, which came out around the same time in North America, was the first to use that feature.) The Japanese release of Metroid was actually for the Famicom Disk System, an important detail because that add-on, due to the fact that games were stored on (re-writable) floppy disks, facilitated saving just by writing directly to the game disk. A lot of titles in the Japanese market achieved saving in that way.

  I glad that I found this channel for more Metroid reviews. Right now I haven’t played Dread yet, so I’m just feeding my hype by absorbing every piece of Metroid media possible.

  You deserve a ton more views for this content. Just a few more days until Dread, and I&apos;m going through ALL these retrospectives.

  The original version of Kraids theme is definitely the best in my opinion as well!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NoDgOoh3Oc&amp;t=531">8:51</a> as someone who has grown up with this game, I love it dearly, but I am not so blinded by nostalgia that I can&apos;t see its flaws. And they are quite glaring.
