Metroid

Good old Metroid, probably my favorite franchise period. Released back on the original NES, this game caused a fairly popular series that is beloved by many, and inspired the creation of many games later down the road. Sure there has been 1 or 2 games that aren't that good (Cough Other M and Prime Hunters cough) but it's still a great series that I'm glad to play. I know it's going to sound cliché to say my 2 favorites are Super and Prime, but all the games starting at Super have been amazing. If you love the series like I do, then please, share with the rest of us what games you enjoy the most from the series. Also, try not to get too crazy with bashing Nintendo for Federation Force ^^;
