You are still wrong, Dread's premise is built on top of a big retcon from fusion; samus isn't supposed to have metroid DNA anymore after absorbing the SA-X in fusion. There are other issues as well like quiet robe X helping samus (a now quasi-metroid) and why the metroids have innate aggression towards the mawkin when they came after the thoha made metroids but that one thing alone is a massive story inconsistency. ZM/the manga also changed samus's suit to be powered by her emotions instead of just being a normal, removable power suit. Fusion also retconned metroids losing their weakness to cold upon evolving with the Omega fight at the end

no you don't see above


To contrast this, the only inconsistency in prime is how the metroid got into impact crater in 1

>it's bad because it's short
braindead opinion, SF64's replayability is one of its strengths

>SR better than ZM
no, I don't fault the game for being worse because of the original metroid 2's design but ZM had far more meaningful exploration

>Dread was kino
The emmi mechanic is the worst thing ever added to metroid, not only because the half-baked stealth sucks, but because of how the zones bottleneck level design. Even worse, they tied major upgrades to them meaning sequence breaking is fucked up to. It's also yet another 2D metroid with bad exploration because Sakamoto has been more interested in action setpieces and narrative elements for metroid after super instead of actual exploration kino

>saved the franchise
SR came out and prime 4 was in development before dread started, not sure how it saved anything. If you mean sales, Metroid had the smallest increase of any nintendo series on the switch.

Played it on the 3DS almost a decade ago. Good game.
