Super Metroid finished!

I never got the chance to play it in the 90s, but today I finally beat Super Metroid.

Amazing game. Lots of fun. I can see why Samus Aran is an consistently popular character over the decades. And the final battle against Mother Brain, when the Super Metroid sacrifices itself to save Samus and give her the Hyper Beam powerup, is one of the best final boss battles I’ve played.

A fun game, but hard! It’s just as well I never played it in the 90s because I never would have had time to finish it. To beat it in the modern era, I found a good guide on the Internet and just followed its directions.

Now I’ll have to decide what to play next. Do I want to finish a modern game like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night or an older classic? The nice thing about the older classics is that most of them have save states, so you can save exactly where you left off. When you’re a busy guy like me who writes 10,000 words a day, that comes in handy. 🙂
