That being said, it was eight years before the next Metroid game arrived, so it can’t have lit the world on fire, sales-wise… The game wasn’t a big hit in Japan, but it took off quite well in the US. Super Metroid was released in Japan on March 19 th 1994, with a North American release April 18 th and a European release July 28 th that same year. So… let’s take a look!Īlways loved the look of this game, that use of background and foreground is so effective… I ended up going with Super Metroid because even though I won’t be able to add a “Thoughts Then” part of the review, it’s such a good game that I just wanted to play it again after giving a proper go for the first time a few years ago. This was a tricky decision for me, as I actually played the original Metroid when I was younger, but I didn’t like it (it was too hard, as many games were for me at the time, though to be fair in the case of the original Metroid it’s still extremely difficult for me now!) where as I really wanted to play Super Metroid but never did thanks to that old chestnut (on this blog) of the fact that I owned a Mega Drive while my brother had a SNES, so I was at the mercy of his game choices.
