![]() Had I played the other two games, I would not love Return of Samus as much as I love it today. I didn’t know what the first game was about, let alone that there was a third game on Super Nintendo. But those other titles might as well have not existed. There’s a two in the title I’m not an idiot. I was aware there were other Metroid games, of course. I guess what is important is that Metroid II was the only Metroid game in my world. However, in a shockingly similar experience to my later hardships with The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, I quickly got stuck on a user-hostile puzzle very early in the game. I couldn’t look away from the extraordinary game in front of me. I was only seven years old and I was floored. When I got back home, I popped it in my Game Boy. A game with a robot on the cover couldn’t be bad! My cousin told me it was a very cool game, and I believed him. No box, no manual, it only had the plastic case. Metroid II: The Return of Samus adorned the cover. On the cover was a dangerous-looking robot in a kneeling position. He gave me a Game Boy cartridge I had never heard of. The most important moment, however, is the second time he gave me a video game. I got Killer Instinct on SNES from him years later, but he made sure to warn me that he was keeping the music CD that came with that game. My sister got a Game Boy with the quintessential Tetris and Super Mario Land from him, which allowed me to discover the portable adventures of Mario. They were presumably sold to me with my mother paying him without telling me. He was playing a lot of video games, and on multiple occasions he gave me video games. My initial contact with the game came through an older cousin. You’ll have to humour me as I bore you to death with ye olde tales of Game Boy nerdery. I’ll start with how I got introduced to the game. I am obsessed with the game, and I have so much to say about it. I haven’t even touched the cartridge, and already I am bursting at the seams with things to talk about. Join me, as I head down the caverns of SR-388 and help Samus Aran eradicate an entire species of space monsters for the essential benefit of the galaxy. The Galactic Federation has ordered me to play Metroid II: Return of Samus and report on my findings.
