DH Article: Metroid Uncovered
Metroid fanatic Vance "Judas" King has spent several months writing up an article on the fabulous Metroid series - in this article he covers the whole series across the last few decades from the original to the recent 3D versions. There is a wealth of information as well as dozens of screenshots and even some video footage he made - an interesting read from a fans perspective.



You can read his article over here

Is there a cure for Metroiditis?
A very extensive article. Fun to read even if I only really played the first one.

well, a long time in production, over SEVERAL months, i finally am able to fully present to everyone what i've been half slaving over. a good 100 hours just to play through the games JUST for this article Hope it's of interest to get a few peoples attention that the GameCube is not exactly a "Kids" console. And that Metroid hasn't just recently shown up

Why am I not surprised Judas did this article?

Nice work, Judas, and good editing, Z.

Man I remember playing the original metroid, metroid 2 and super metroid all the time. Great article Judas! I don't think there's anything you didn't cover there, and all the screenshots and videos just made it that much better. And im sure those 100 odd hours of metroid were terrible for you eh?

Judas, man, that was awesome. The best article on dh in some time! You have no idea how bad I want to play through metroid again (especially super metroid). I think I may have to buy a gc now to play the new ones

Great job.

must say this is a great article to read..

but have never played this game at all...partly due to the only console by nintendo were the n64 i tried out for some time.

this were the fact that i were a saga fan,owned from sega masterdrive through to sega's dreamcast.

Metroid 2: Return of Samus...

yes, it's in the massive article

although, IMO, if that's the only metroid game you've played . it's the worst
