Super Metroid in 2025 - does it need a remaster or remake?
411Super Metroid is widely regarded as one of the greatest games ever made. Many Metroid fans consider this title the pinnacle of the acclaimed franchise even today. Released in 1994 for the SNES, Super Metroid raised the bar for what a side scrolling adventure game could offer. Its compelling game design helped establish an entire genre for the industry. Three decades later, and with a major new Metroid game only months away – it’s worth revisiting this classic to analyze how well it has held up after so many years. Is Super Metroid a perfect classic as it is? Or should Nintendo consider a remaster or remake to revive interest in this retro adventure? What would potentially change, and what are the implications of these different options?
