This is a short and sweet little remake of the original (outdated and now difficult to play) Metroid, and although pleasant and charming would be on the whole entirely forgettable if not for the recent release of Metroid Dread. Dread's EMMI sections feel hugely reminiscent of the Zero Suit segments towards the end of this game, except, the EMMI segments are somehow worse. I mean c'mon, the Zero Suit segments aren't very good either, but how can they fail to imrpove on em? Mind-boggling. Whatever. "Nintendo fails to improve on a beloved classic game with their modern titles" is not a ground-breaking criticism.
