Happy birthday, Metroid. One of the most satisfying gaming experiences I’ve had was playing the 5 2D games back-to back. The enhancements to Zero and Samus Returns really tie together a satisfying cohesive story across all. (4 pictured here before Dread dropped). Fav: Zero Mission

the nostalgia diner industry should have aged past the 50s. I should be able to go to an era-accurate 90s diner, served a room temp Fruitopia by staff in babydoll dresses, there should be a Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition machine against the wall. They could sell Desert Storm trading cards.
