Metroid dread endings8/18/2023 It’s not quite the happy medium between Metroid’s obtuse exploration and Fusion’s complete lack of subtlety, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction. If you grew tired of Fusion’s insistence on telling you where to go and telling you too much, Zero Mission is certainly a little less overbearing in this regard. To add more narrative substance, the game does add some absolutely stunning cutscenes to move things along – However, unlike Metroid Fusion, there is almost no text in the entire game, save for a couple of brief monologues from Samus. It’s been given a pretty nifty coat of paint – The colours are much more vivid, to account for the Game Boy Advance’s lack of a backlight, but even if you’re playing on a larger screen via emulation or the Game Boy Player like I am here it’s a really good looking game. Metroid Zero Mission ReviewĪnd so, Zero Mission takes us back to Planet Zebes – Familiar territory if you’ve already played Metroid and Super Metroid, of course. Its development came from an initial idea to remake Super Metroid for the system, but it was deemed that a remake of the original game was of greater value – To show a new generation of Metroid players where the series began, but to also insert more of Samus’ mysterious backstory at the same time. That is especially true after Metroid: Zero Mission was released on the Game Boy Advance in 2004.īuilt upon the foundations of Metroid Fusion, this was the very first time that a Nintendo console received two Metroid titles (a feat repeated many times since). It’s a title that is filled with the sort of unfairly difficult gameplay that was commonplace on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and as a result, it’s a real hard recommendation. If you recall my review of Metroid, you’ll know that I find the original game very archaic and not a particularly friendly game to play in 2021. We’re around the halfway point on my Road To Metroid Dread, but we’re already turning around and already going way back to the very beginning of our journey, to revisit the very first Metroid game, recreated from the ground up in the form of Zero Mission.
