A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Super Metroid is a game I have played over and over again for years. I recently played it again and I loved it so much I’ve been going back and playing all of the side scrolling Metroid games (again).
I actually just beat AM2R for a second time followed immediately by Samus Returns.
When I get through all of them I’m hitting Dread (which I only barely started when it first came out and I haven’t finished yet) and then moving to the Prime series.
I can’t get enough of Metroid, but Super Metroid is the greatest of them all. Even with the slightly dated controls, I find myself playing that game more than any other.
My second favorite game is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I play it almost as often as I do Super Metroid.
