Well, at least games from Super Metroid onward. I tried the original Metroid on the NES last year and respected what it did, but thought it was a little frustrating for my tastes. Fast forward a year later, and Metroid II: Return of Samus\\xa0for the Game Boy is on the hot seat after overcoming all comers in our Patreon Poll. Some seem to love it, some find it a little confusing. I definitely fund myself in the second category. I think it\'s a cool concept, but my "Metroid gets good at Super Metroid" stance hasn\'t changed.\\xa0\\xa0My buddy Daniel is the biggest Metroid fan I know, and he gave me a call this week to talk about hunting Metroids on a little green screen, and how this game is ambitious, albeit, maybe a little flawed.\\xa0And before we get lost and rage quit, I stumble through another edition of the Infamous Intro!\\xa0This week, someone asks if I\'ll ever cover pre-NES games on the podcast? Do I break out my Simpsons impressions when I\'m doing standup? And what\'s my favourite Metroid game?\\xa0Plus we play another round of \'Play One, Remake One, Erase One\', too! This one features 3 Samus classics: Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
