I played this for this time on Switch, but I tried to remain in the mindset of someone playing this on release in 1997. I was continually in awe as I played. It’s ambition for its time is truly remarkable, and I can’t wait to play the remake trilogy.

What an absolute blast. Zero Mission is still my favorite I believe, but this is pretty damn close. Difficult but fair. Samus is badass. Beautiful looking game and dreadful atmosphere (ha). The complete package.

Fun! But not as fun as the main game.

The side missions felt tedious to get through compared to main game somehow. And the main story isn’t as interesting, but the DLC usually isn’t anyway. The banter between Peter and Miles was my favorite part. Screwball was my least favorite part.
