I was in same danger until I just tryharded the difficult bosses. They’re really tough compared to previous Metroids and I haven’t got used to that. Btw, did you drop your game soon after release? A post-release update gave a rookie difficulty mode that might give some mercy on next playthroughs.
Same, played since beta era, haven’t even gotten to the end world. My potato farms are doing ok, though.
Super and Echoes might be my favourites as well. Also shoutout to Fusion and Zero Mission. They were good too, although they owe so much to Super.
Metroid 2 turned its technical limitations into claustrophobic feeling. It has aged surprisingly well if you disregard the visuals. I started my Metroids with Prime, but og M2 is the oldest I have actually played through. NEStroid has many outdated features that makes the gaming impractical like starting with 30 health, slow healing, save system, difficulty curve etc. Playing M2 felt closer to Super than NES. The spider ball was also neat. I even liked the experimental soundtrack even though that’s an unpopular opinion.
Linux Mint already has an alternative Debian edition maintained.
Long o in Finnish is oo, ö is pronounced different and could also be pronounced as long öö.
