The story in Metroid games really fell off after the whole infant

Yeah it's all stupid now and it's been stupid since Fusion. The games haven't gotten any better either. Shame about the new 2D game.

This cutscene is the only decent thing in Other M and it's one of the best things in the Metroid series. It's basically just the infant vs mother brain in a cutscene.

I agree with you OP, I had no interest in Prime.

All that really mattered to me was Metroid - Metroid 2 - Super Metroid to cover the "Metroid" storyline.

It's kind of nice that Metroid 1 was remade to Zero Mission, because it's a much better game overall.

If the Metroid 2 remake is decent I'm going to start recommending people to just play ZM - Metroid 2 remake - Super Metroid.

Fusion was okay and all the 3d games were mediocre imo.

Fusion really wrote the whole series into a corner, and now every new game is a prequel. It's annoying
