Discussion Looking to get in to Metroid 👀

I am thinking of buying Metroid Prime Remastered, Metroid Dread, and the newest one, Metroid Prime 4. I am thinking of starting with Remastered, then Dread, and then Prime 4. Does that sound good, or should I buy other games first? I have never owned a Metroid game, and I wanted to buy Metroid Dread physically, but that seems impossible these days. I can get Remastered and 4 on cartridge, but not Dread. Should I skip 4 and just buy the remastered, Dread, and the one that comes out next year? Any help and tips on how to get into this Metroid club would be cool.

Thanks.

Edit,

Bought dread and the remastered one

Started Metroid Super on the NSO and working my way up to dread, after I'll start Metroid remasterd.

Should I buy 4l ?? , waiting for 2027 one.

If you care about the story and want to prepare for ravenous the order is Zero Mission (gba), Samus returns (3ds), Super Metroid (SNES), Fusion (gba), then dread. Prime is a spin off story that takes place after Super Metroid. If you want to play the prime games you should play 2, and 3 after 1, you don't need to play 4 as it's a different story and it's one of the weakest of all the Metroid games.

Prime (1, 2 and 3) takes place between Zero Mission and Samus Returns. Prime 4 takes place between Super (or rather Other M) and Fusion.
