Metroid (NES) Retrospective | The Road To Metroid Dread

The game that started it all. Metroid was originally released all the way back in 1986 and kicked off the entire franchise as well as an entire subgenre of gaming. Is the classic as good as it was 35 years ago, or has it fallen victim to the sands of time? (Spoiler alert, I think it's the second one.)

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.

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

Interesting fact about repetitiveness: those identical areas aren'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. 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'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'm going through ALL these retrospectives.

I'm your 457th subscriber. These reviews you made on Metroid definitely earned my subscription, I loved your review style, the jokes, I can tell you're getting big 5 years from here and I'm here for the ride. Keep on the good work, dude.

8:51 as someone who has grown up with this game, I love it dearly, but I am not so blinded by nostalgia that I can't see its flaws. And they are quite glaring.

Those damn spaghetti O's tho... Great video. Yes, Metroid Prime is amazing. Glad it got you into the series. Let's hope for the Trilogy to be released soon before Metroid Prime 4.

I agree so much about how badly it's aged. I've tried to play through it a few times, I just can't do it. This and Zelda 1 are two classic NES games, I just struggle to enjoy. At least I've beaten Zelda 1 and it has a map sort of. Maybe I'll force myself through it one of these days. I just bought a disc system so maybe I'll pick up that version of Metroid, not that I expect a save feature instead of a password system to solve the core problems of everything looking the same.

Ive listened to all of your videos because theyre well written/narrated and i find them enjoyable even if DKC1/2/3 are the only games that I've played. Eith that said youve sold me on playing super metroid and any metroid that i can reasonably get my hands on. I do wish Nintendo hsd better support snd availability for their older games, however. Id love to own a digital copy of zero mission on switch rather than jist renting one.

Nice video, dude! While I will admit that Metroid NES is janky... I actually kinda like the idea of navigating without a map. Having no map tests my sense of direction and location, even if room structures are repeated. That's just me, of course, but it's a big reason why I could see myself playing Metroid NES again.

I love Metroid, LOVE IT. I actually pre-ordered Super Metroid back in 1994. Just to set the scene, no one pre-ordered games back then. I actually went to my local mom and pop shop, explained how much I wanted it, and gave them the full amount just so they’d hold a copy for me. … but here’s the thing, I always thought Metroid on the NES was a proof of concept. I knew there was a kernel of an amazing game there but it was rough even back in the 80s. A lot of games do age well… Metroid does not, imo. I think it was simply a situation of a game that was too ahead of its time. It’s weird too because it shares so much in common with Zelda which has aged okay. I think it’s the fact that it was a platformer rather than a top down game. Made respect for it but just play Zero Mission. I love retro games but some do NOT hold up.
