    A game that started a great franchise of shooter games

    The controls are very simple. Just shoot and jump, also switch to missles. No camera problems since the game is in 2-D. The graphics of metroid for its time were average. Creative design of the planet, though some s... Read Full Review

    This is one of my favorites in the Metroid series. There is nothing like freezing energy-sucking Metroid parasites in the morning and then blasting them with missles. The story is about a female bounty hunter named Samus... Read Full Review

    Do NOT buy this unless it's for a complete collection

    Metroid is a decent NES game (Although it could use some polishing as it's full of glitches). This port is a greedy move on Nintendo's part however: The EXACT game is included with Metroid Zero Mission. For god's sake, b... Read Full Review
