Metroid

Metroid is an action/exploration series published (and often developed) by Nintendo that has become reasonably popular among the members of Blank Slate. The games usually star recurring protagonist Samus Aran, an intergalactic bounty hunter who explores planets to find upgrades and defeat enemies. The series is perhaps best known for spawning the Metroidvania genre. Despite the critical acclaim of the series, it has never sold incredibly well, which has led Nintendo to ignore it for long stretches of time. These Metroid Droughts have claimed the spirits of many good chat members.

In June of 2017, Nintendo announced two Metroid games, and in September of the same year, Samus Returns launched to positive reviews, ending the most recent drought.

As of 2017, there are games in the series. The original Metroid, Metroid II: Return of Samus, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid: Zero Mission (a remake of the original), Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Metroid: Samus Returns (a remake of Metroid II), a pinball spinoff, and a co op shooter spinoff focusing on some unimportant side characters. And those are all the Metroid games. Nothing else to talk about here.
