Learning to Love 2D Metroid

I've been on a bit of a Nintendo kick in my personal life, and thought it was high-time to give the Metroid series a proper look. Specifically the 2D ones for now, but I'm super excited for more because I fell head over heels for these titles alone, and am dying to tell you all why that is! It's quickly become a new favorite in the big N's catalogue, so here's how I learned to love (2D) Metroid! Footage Credits to...
