Metroid: Samus Returns came out a few months ago, and I thought it would be a good time to revisit the series and write some stuff about it. This batch includes the original trilogy...over the course of the rest of the week, I'll be posting reviews of Metroid Fusion and Metroid: Zero Mission, and then AM2R and Metroid: Samus Returns, along with how both compare to Metroid II.

Enjoy the holidays!

Metroid

In March 1986, Nintendo released the Famicom Disk System, as a way to get around of the technical limitations of ROM cartridges. Early Famicom releases tended to be pretty simple arcade-type games, but the expanded storage capability and ability to save games allowed for more complex titles, similar to what could be found on home computers.
