Super Metroid’s color palette and lanky sprite were always a turn off for me. But I’m finally giving it a chance on SNES (MSU-1 version) & I’m really enjoying it!
Vibes are: Quake + the movie Alien + Nine Inch Nails’ album The Downward Spiral. Pretty cool aesthetic after all!
If you’re coming from newer Metroid titles you might want this. It is a romhack that has a number of quality of life patches like GBA-style missile and aim controls, faster door transitions, and not locking backtracking from the final save room, etc.
