It's too fucking good. It makes every other Metroid game look like a joke in comparison. I'll always have that voice in the back of my head that goes "well this is good, but it's no Super Metroid" when I play any other Metroid game.
Will they ever reach Super Metroid's soul and quality again?

I mean, they already did, several times. It's only like the 4th best Metroid game. Still don't understand what's supposed to be so special about it other than it being first Metroid to look pretty or whatever
Never and neither will any of the indie clones because none of them understand why the game was so good
>It's only like the 4th best Metroid game.
I obviously disagree, but I'm curious. Rank em.
*blocks your path*
Zero Mission was better.
The only other metroid game that comes close is prime 2 but I don't really put those on the same playing field because they are very different games fundamentally.
I fucking love how Zero Mission looks and plays. I just feels so good
Based. Fuck floatiness and fuck the people that complain about the stealth section.
Prime 2 is extremely based, only one that's near Super.
The floatiness was more than made up for by the momentum-based physics, which every installment afterwards butchered.
Not him but I love Prime, Fusion and AM2R more than Super.
Super is good for romhacks and speedrunning. That's about it.
Have you ever played something and realized that it's so good it's not going to be topped and you get actually sad? Super Metroid has the perfect blend of ambience, length, graphics, music, gameplay and themes for itself. It's defined by itself and made an entirely different thing even back then, so apart from other SNES games. You just know it's too good.
Same thing happened with Titanfall 2, or The Witcher 3, or Company of Heroes 1, or REVENGEANCE. They're too good to be true by themselves. They have to fuck it up in the follow ups. It can't be topped because such labors of love only strike once in the industry.
Peak kino Super Metroid music coming through.

Super Metroid, KOTOR II, The Mass Effect Trilogy (I see all three games as one experience), DEUS EX, MGS1 and RDR2
All are just so fucking great and were truly amazing and unique experiences. None of them are "perfect" games (only Super Metroid maybe, literally can't find a flaw), but they all just "work" so fucking good and blew my. I don't know if they'll ever be topped.
>literally can't find a flaw
You fall way too slow. Game is too easy.
Okay, but those are very minor flaws and they don't make the game "worse". I never felt like Metroid really was about the challenge anyway and I personally didn't mind Super's floaty movement at all.
Megaman Battle Network 3 is also one of those games. Fucking amazing game, yet to be topped by its own series and only fangames really exist in the same kind of subgenre. Kotor II will never be surpassed by any SW game with the narrative it has. I've never seen a game take game mechanics and blend them so well into the overarching narrative. You can definitely improve on gameplay, but I don't think anyone has the kind of talent to make it flow that well ever again.
>I personally didn't mind Super's floaty movement at all
That's because you haven't played a hack that eliminated it.
How about this: KOTOR II will never be surpassed by any form of Star Wars media.
Not true. Kotor 2 isn't as good as TIE Fighter, the best star wars game to have ever been made.
I have, you and other anons just massively over-exaggerate the floatiness. Project Base is nice but Super Metroid by itself is still amazing in how it controls.
Yeah but I don't like modding/hacking games user. Only if it's absolutely necessary.
If we're comparing all media as in not just video games, there's potential in books to make something better. What that looks like, I can't tell you. I think as long as Disney and EA control the SW license though, you're right, it'll absolutely never fucking happen in any media.
>but I don't like modding/hacking games
Why? A lot of them improve upon the original.
Haven't played TIE Fighter but I can say with certainty that you're full of shit. How could pew pew pew shoot the rebels ever be better than KOTOR II's mindblowingly good story, setting and characters.
I dislike Super Metroid. It does nothing for me. The platforming sucks, the combat sucks. Exploration requires me to bomb the entire place. If I'm stuck, I spend a lot of time backtracking and bombing other places. I'm currently stuck at Maridia and I had to get help from friends before. I enjoyed the Castlevania titles a lot more.
>mindblowingly good story, setting and characters
Its a good game but don't fucking oversell it. Especially if you haven't played the game I'm talking about.
Super Metroid has god tier ambient music, but lets not forget about the awesome main theme:

I'm not overselling it's that's genuinly how I feel about it. My most common thought during my KOTOR II playhthrough was "I can't believe this game is actually this fucking good".
It just doesn't feel right, like I'm playing a bootleg version of the game.
Imagine denying yourself the fun of Link to the Past randomizer.
I've played Kotor II more than most people ever have. It gets better each playthrough when you realize how consistent the narrative is and certain things start to click that didn't the first time around.
