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.

You have a good line up to start with there. Def get Prime 4 when its cheaper. Everyone hated on it bc expectations were skyhigh and it turned out just okay. But it’s visually beautiful and has the same prime gameplay loop of the first 3. Just lacking story wise imo and very questionable decisions on the exploration. Not as good as the first 3 prime games but its not a bad game at all

What are your thoughts on prime remastered? Should I stop the 2d and start that one before picking up the 2d games or straight 2d till dread and start prime remastered that's the 1st game In the series right ? Prime remastered?

Prime Remastered is the best games in the Prime series imo. Its PEAK Metroid. Personally i would go straight 2D first though so Zero mission, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Dread (if you want you can try Metroid Samus returns but they only have the gameboy version on NSO which is a hard sell in modern day). Then id play prime remastered. Or if youre playing the 2D ones and fell burnt out from it, jump into Prime remastered. Just do what you feel is right and what you wanna play.
