Classic NES Series - Metroid

Developer: Nintendo R&D1

Metroid (Classic NES Series on GBA) returns the 1986 sci-fi exploration platformer to a portable audience. You play Samus Aran, navigating labyrinthine alien caverns, unlocking abilities and backtracking to reach new areas. The tight, deliberate controls, tense atmosphere, sparse clues and memorable boss fights create a rewarding, sometimes unforgiving experience that demands exploration and careful ammo management. On GBA the core NES gameplay is preserved, offering nostalgic pixel visuals and haunting music while introducing you to one of gaming's earliest metroidvania blueprints. Ideal for players who enjoy methodical discovery, high-stakes platforming and a solitary, atmospheric challenge.
