Metroid has become somewhat of a hot button issue in the past couple of years, largely thanks to the latest entry’s…erm, polarizing nature. But let’s not focus on that. Instead, why don’t we focus on the first few games. Games that, I think we can all agree, are really good. And so, the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) will take a look at these games in this week’s Retro Wrap-Up.
