| | Metroid series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Metroid (Japanese : メトロイド) games are a series of video games produced by Nintendo. | | | The Metroid games are particularly associated with nonlinear gameplay, which was pioneered by the first installment in the series. | | | The Metroid games have been a popular target for speedrunning, the art of completing a game in the fastest time possible. |

| | Metroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This game provided one of the first highly nonlinear game experiences on a home console, and the series continues to provide nonlinear gameplay. | | | JUSTIN BAILEY refers to a famous Metroid password that gives the player all the power-ups needed to win the game in a short amount of time, and also renders Samus in a purple leotard rather than her armored suit. | | | Scientists decide to call this being a "Metroid" and the mere thought of it being in the hands of pirates is utterly disturbing. |

| | Items in the Metroid series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In Metroid Fusion, this beam is eagerly welcomed by the player as it substantially increases Samus's chance of survival in her dire situation. | | | These are only in Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime Hunters, as these are the only games played in first-person mode. | | | It is traditionally the first item, or at least one of the first items, obtained in any Metroid game, but in the first game it was called the "Maru Mari", meaning "Round Ball". |

| | However, as a follow-up to Metroid Fusion, this game is a total stinker. | | | As a remake of the original Metroid, this game is a huge success. | | | Unlike Stephen, the majority of the Metroid series has never really clicked with me. I acknowledge that they're good games (maybe even great games), but I just could never sit down and play them the whole way through. |

| | There is an added bonus to this game in that the game actually has further story after you escape from Zebes, and the gameplay goes in a direction never explored in the Metroid series. | | | While the rest of the Metroid series isn't really any longer, they don't go the same extent of guiding you by the hand and telling you whether or not an item is hidden in any given room as they do in Zero Mission if at all. | | | Metroid: Zero Mission has the best graphics of any action game on the GBA, hands down. |

| | Metroid Prime is obviously a great Metroid game, but it's a lot more than that. | | | The first thing players will notice is that Metroid Prime is a first-person game. | | | The other traditions in gaming it explores are strikingly rich, making it both an excellent installment in the series and a wonderful example of smart game design on several levels. |

| | I have adored this series from the very first time that I played the original game and have somewhat obsessively played every game that I could get my hands on. | | | I was also amused by how many people thought that she was a guy until they either defeated the game or entered the code "justin bailey." The Metroid games just keep getting better, but Samus remains the same kick butt heroine that she was in the original. |

| | GamersMark - Metroid Fusion Review |
| | Nintendo games have never emphasized much on story, yet the Metroid series has featured titles that have always distinguished themselves as being the anti-Nintendo, Nintendo game. | | | Even though some faces may look familiar, under that disguise is an X. I also mentioned earlier that the Metroids fed on the X, and since Samus has Metroid DNA in her, she also feeds on the X, making the X her source of health, and oddly ammunition. | | | Yes, it does, but unlike previous Metroid games, Fusion makes the process of acquiring new items and progressing further in the game much easier than any Metroid game before it. |
