let’s roll welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down the top 10
Metroid games Samus looks like I’m gonna
need to ask for your cooperation on this
mission for this list we’ve picked the
10 best games with Metroid in the title
although Metroid Prime trilogy doesn’t
count since the individual prime games
have to be ranked on this list number 10
Metroid Other M the explosion that
followed destroyed planet service along
with remains of mother brain metroid
other m is okay let’s just say it’s an
inconsistent game compared to the rest
of the series
it removed the series is focused on
mystery giving Samus a rather monotone
portrayal with horrendous writing I had
been reliving the tragic moments of my
recent past to be a hundred percent
honest it only made this list because it
was either this or a prime pinball for
the 10th slot and were slaves to our
format a collaboration between Nintendo
and Tecmo steam ninja other M is still a
decent action platformer let down by a
terrible unskipable story I knew it to
be true but still couldn’t help looking
at my poem for a sign number 9 Metroid
Prime hunters
Metroid Prime Hunters accomplished
something many thought impossible by
translating the amazing FPS action of
the prime series to a handheld console
but some of the best graphics seen on
the system hunters is one of the best
first-person shooters you can find on
the DS while the single-player campaign
was really repetitive the online
multiplayer death matches were the real
star of the package here
overall some of the magic of the prime
Series was lost in the translation
mostly due to the focus on shooting over
exploration placing hunters firmly in
the good but not great territory number
eight Metroid to return of Samus the
afraid be very afraid
one life-sucking Metroid survived the
first Metroid adventure and it’s
multiplying rapidly Metroid to return of
Samus what gamers back in the shoes of
Samus Aran except this time she’s on a
one-woman mission to commit Metroid
aside and rid the galaxy of the aliens
forever we’ll get to the ethics of
samus’s mission later but Metroid 2 is
basically a direct continuation of the
originals gameplay without any map or
hints to guide you Metroid 2 is a
daunting game maybe even more difficult
by the limited graphics of the original
Gameboy but it’s still a fun game that
contained a crucial turning point for
later Metroid titles number 7 Metroid
metroid is the game that started it all
and introduced us to samus the badass
bounty hunter intent on destroying the
deadly metroid aliens the original
metroid broke so many barriers with its
huge explorable world nonlinear gameplay
and controller smash and difficulty
without any map system to guide you
Metroid is an unforgiving experiment in
spacefaring isolation but it holds a
special place in Nintendo’s library for
its groundbreaking design and fantastic
inclusion of a female protagonist
number six Metroid Prime – echoes
following up one of the most critically
acclaimed games ever was no easy task
but for the most part prime to lives up
to its predecessor while introducing
several new mechanics and refining
Prime’s game plan it introduced
dimension switching gameplay with a
light world and dark world that you have
to switch between in order to solve
puzzles and stop Dark Samus
oh and there is a multiplayer mode but
it’s pretty forgettable so just stick
with the single-player and you’ll have a
blast
number five metroid zero mission
now this is how you do a remake fixing
almost all of the issues with the first
Metroid game and giving us some new
surprises along the way
it features the same general story with
Samus exploring zebus which is infested
with space pirates Metroid’s and other
alien critters ultimately leading to an
epic battle with Mother Brain II the
inclusion of a new stealth section made
the game feel fresh without losing its
nostalgic appeal as can be expected in a
2d Metroid game the graphics controls
and atmosphere are all amazing though it
does lose a couple of points for being a
bit short and kind of easy in certain
sections it’s still mega solid number
four Metroid Fusion
Metroid Fusion is chronologically the
latest entry in the Metroid series and
serves as a metaphor for upsetting the
balance of nature as samus’s Janus idle
actions in Metroid 2 has led to a new
deadly threat in the form of the
mysterious ex parasite Samus must
explore an abandoned research station
now overrun by the X who have the
ability to mimic the form of any host
they infect including Samus herself
despite being a little more linear
Metroid Fusion impressively packed all
of the gritty sci-fi action that gamers
had come to expect into a handheld
package also that scream from Neo Ridley
number three Metroid Prime 3 corruption
after being very suit Metroid Prime 3
managed to improve on the prime Series
already impressive immersion by
incorporating Wiimote controls that made
you feel like you were controlling
samus’s arm gun beyond the amazing
control scheme prime 3 also improved
upon its predecessors with better
graphics more intense battles and some
aw inspiring locations it’s also a more
cinematic game compared to the other
entries in the prime series bringing in
voice acting and a more action-packed
story to round off a fantastic trilogy
if we don’t make it to the top in time
we can kiss this planet goodbye relax
we’re the good guys
justice will prevail in all that stuff
right Samms number 2 super metroid
Super Metroid is one of the best games
on one of the most legendary gaming
consoles ever the Super Nintendo Super
Metroid features some of the most
hauntingly beautiful environments ever
seen in a video game while posing a
serious challenge for even the most
experienced gamers with daunting bosses
and a huge world you can search every
nook and cranny on planet Seva’s and
still only finish the game with a 50
percent completion rate even today Super
Metroid doesn’t feel all that dated
which is pretty impressive
number one Metroid Prime it was a very
close call for the number one slot
between this game and Super Metroid in
the end it was our suggests that decided
the top spot because our staff was split
on the decision then again that’s how
amazing a job retro studios did
following up a timeless SNES game and
successfully bringing Samus into 3d it
combines the open-ended exploration and
gritty atmosphere of Super Metroid with
an even more immersive first-person
perspective amazingly rich lore
thanks to scanning and an incredibly
atmospheric soundtrack retro studios
undoubtedly released one of the best
games of all time with Metroid Prime
oh do you agree with our list which
metroid adventure made you feel cold and
alone it’s unbelievable how well you’ve
held up four more galaxies saving top
