Metroid games are great, one of the first things I did when I first got my deck was set up Prime Trilogy. Prime 1 is the best of the trilogy, but when I replayed two recently I enjoyed it more than I remembered the first time. Some of the boss fights are truly amazing, a big step up from Prime 1. Prime 3 is more immediately enjoyable than 2, but the world feels a lot smaller and less interconnected.
I haven’t played much of the 2D Metroids on the Deck yet, but plan to play Samus Returns and AM2R since they’re the only two mainline games I haven’t played. Also feel strangely tempted to set up Prime Pinball.
Dread is great, the smoothness of movement is so good that it kinda makes it hard to go back to the GBA Metroids. You mentioned getting lost, but one of my complaints with Dread is that it plays a bit too linearly compared with older Metroids. Basically everytime you get a new ability, there will be a path in your immediate vicinity afterwards that requires the new ability. That path will probably go through some areas you’ve already been in, but there will be a sequence of new rooms only accessible with your new ability that will take you directly to where you’re supposed to go next.
