A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Super Metroid's color palette and lanky sprite were always a turn off for me. But I'm finally giving it a chance on SNES (MSU-1 version) & I'm really enjoying it!

Vibes are: Quake + the movie Alien + Nine Inch Nails' album The Downward Spiral. Pretty cool aesthetic after all!

If you're coming from newer Metroid titles you might want this. It is a romhack that has a number of quality of life patches like GBA-style missile and aim controls, faster door transitions, and not locking backtracking from the final save room, etc.

It's one of the greatest games on the SNES. Enjoy.

Still my favorite game of all time. It's so good, I'm glad you finally gave it a chance!
