To start with something simple, let’s make an appreciation post for a series that is so underappreciated nowadays.

Metroid was released on August 6 1986, creating an entire new genre of video games while introducing us to the first notable female protagonist in this media and bringing in innovations that we take from granted nowadays like the simple ability of going back in sidescrollers! So to this greatly underappreciated series, I wish a great 35th year!
