    Metroid Fusion was a banger. I didn’t even own a Gameboy, but my friend did, and I would trade him half my allowance every week to let me borrow it over the weekend. Many many nights were spent up late under the covers exploring BSL Station.

      I recently played Metroid Fusion on an emulator as my first metroid game and it was so good. Legit might buy a switch to buy Metroid Dread with how good Fusion was.

        Dread is fantastic but they really focused on the action elements of Metroid. This is fine since there are other games that focus on exploration but the stuff it does really well are things like boss fights. The last boss in particular is phenomenal.
