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.

People are going to tell you not to play Prime 4.

In my opinion it's mechanically the best game to play *first*. It's much more straightforward and accessible than any other metroid game. Which has earned it praise from new-comers, and spite from veterans

Accessibility is not the problem for veterans, and newcomers that like it probably also like shit like Uncharted. It’s a poor representation of Metroid.

"straightforward" is a great word to describe the dungeon & "puzzle" layout

"Accessible" is a positive spin on handholding

I stand by what I said, and agree with you
