  • I did a similar thing earlier this year too! Except without AM2R since I was just playing on NSO.

    It was my first time playing ZM and Fusion, and my first time completing any of them.

    Loved Zero Mission. I think it’s now my favourite besides Prime. Super Metroid was as fantastic and deeply atmospheric as I remembered from my childhood, and the fact both games use the same world layout was lovely and deepened the experience for me. But I found myself missing the QOL improvements from ZM - especially the map.

    By comparison, I enjoyed Fusion, but found it far too linear. The annoying computer shuttles you from objective to objective and it felt like a disappointing deviation from the open exploration of the other games. Definitely the weakest of the three because of that, IMO. But as you say, it was your childhood fave and you can’t argue with those memories haha
