What are you playing?

Metal Slug 3 is pretty easy to one-credit minus the last level - which is super hard and longer than the rest of the game (no exaggeration). Metal Slug 3 is probably the hardest of the 'fair' Metal Slug games (4 and 5 are unfair and the less we talk about 6, 7 and XX the better) but as long as you keep your Slug until the end and make sure you have a lot of bombs for the bosses (that damn robot...) it's not too hard to get a good way in before taking a hit. Learning which branches in the level to take also helps a lot. As much as it might be fun to ride an ostrich it normally leads in death.

Just beat Super Metroid (6:47, 67% item completion) for the first time. Metroid is a series that I've always had around, but it was never anything I ever played to win. I think I've played the first five minutes of Metroid on NES a thousand times, and while those five-thousand minutes were spectacular, I was more entranced with other franchises.

What a fool I've been!

I will definitely be picking up Metroid Fusion once I have the scratch.

Although Super is pretty much the perfect Metroid game (only aging slightly) thanks to it's sheer grand-ness I also recommend Zero Mission. It's pretty short but fun to replay. Fusion is a bit of a mix bag, it's a good game but the linear story/progression is a bit jarring.
