Where were you when Spain literally fucking saved Metroid?
Absolutely buh buh based. The only reason this game didn't get 10/10s across the board was because the developers made it relentlessly challenging for the true Metroid autists. I can't wait to beat this shit multiple times.
So this actually became canon. Not memeing.
Actually went through the spoilers of the game. Long story short the final boss is Samus' Chozo father Raven Beak who genetically engineered Samus with Metroid DNA and Chozo DNA to help foster her growth into the ultimate warrior. The word Metroid itself means "Ultimate Warrior" in the Chozo language.
The Last Metroid is Samus Aran, and she is not in captivity. The galaxy is at peace.

Yeah this was honestly it. Vastly better controls than Super Metroid or Metroid Fusion, while adding all new mechanics and gameplay ideas. A more elaborate map with entirely new kinds of sections in the E.M.M.I. zones. By far the most powerful incarnation of Samus Aran yet against some of the toughest bosses in series history. I died over 100 times to Raven Beak before I finally figured out how to kill him, now I could take the elevator up and kill him in 1 or 2 tries. Probably gonna go for a Hard Mode run, eventually for a Zero Suit ending run as well. Honestly I have never had more fun playing a Metroidvania in years, topped out Symphony of the Night, Order of Ecclesia and Bloodstained in my books along with being the best Metroid game ever. Samus Aran deserves to stand among the greatest video game protagonists of all-time, no questions asked. The Nintendo Magic is burning brighter today than ever before. I think it is simply a fact at this point that the Switch is the greatest Nintendo platform of all-time.
The absolute disrespect to Kraid here is beautiful. She's so tired of fighting him she literally sees him and immediately drops her guard and dodges him without any kind of flair. The beautiful thing about this character is how she can convey so much personality while almost never saying a word.
Also it's god damned glorious to see the curse of Metroid broken. Dread has become the best-selling game in the series almost instantly. And on top of that, newer players trying Dread have bought older Metroid titles as well. Seems Samus truly will See You Next Mission after all.
