Taking on the task of ranking the Metroid series.
Two 3DO games recently reissued by Limited Run Games, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties and D, appear to have a major problem, according to customers.
D was a great, atmospheric horror game. It was worth the rental back in the day. Also, Limited Run Games sucks.
LRG are just glorified overpriced reproductions.... and now they can't even get that last part right. I make better repros using my own stack of CD-R.
Just don’t. 3DO games were the worst. Imagine paying premium prices for a dog-crap version of a game. The era of barely trying or understanding their own tech and charging asinine prices… 3DN0. It’s best that you don’t admit that you had one of these.
The 3DO was ahead of its time and one of the first to enter the 32 bit console space. Yes FMV games are awful, but at the time there was a real thirst for games to look like movies. Removing the FMV games the 3DO had Gex, a solid Myst port, and was often the best place to play non-SNK (best on NEO GEO) near arcade perfect arcade ports. Their downfall was poor marketing and a high price point for a time when consoles were considered to be kids toys.
It was certainly superior to the “64 bit” Jaguar, which was falsely advertised as stronger hardware and had one of the worst console controllers in history.
Limited Run Games makes me sick. The prices they ask are ridiculous and then the whole burning discs instead of pressing them is pretty disgusting. This is a company that takes their customers for a ride and demands extortion level prices for a product, like we’re talking 2x to 3x more than MSRP.

Intercept Games, the developer of space sim Kerbal Space Program 2, appears to have been shut down by parent company Take-Two.
This year is starting to look like it's going to have an infamous nickname at some point in the future.
Hunters is easily the worst in the series. To say it's better than 1, 2, and Other M is preposterous.
Anyway, it's cool to see at least 1 Metroid article every now and then. This is my favorite franchise ever and it brings me hope to think Nintendo will acknowledge that there still are Metroid fans out there.
If Super Metroid is #1, then the other games must really suck
Super Metroid is so over rated... Its a fantastic game, but the best one? The honor goes to Metroid Prime And Metroid Fusion.
Other M is underrated to me....the complaints people have for that game remind me of the nitpicky nonsense people had to say about batman vs superman
Prime
