I was completely ecstatic when Super Metroid came out for the Super NES back in 1994.  The Nintendo designers built on all of the greatness that players already saw from the first 2 installments.  The prologue from this particular title continues off from the cliffhanger ending that you may have seen from Metroid 2 for Game Boy.  Samus will eventually return to the old stomping grounds of planet Zebes, with 2 new ideas to explore:  Crateria and the Wrecked Ship.  Every single thing about this game is just awesome times ten.
