I know we have a lot of Metroid fans here (myself included).
So, I thought I might as well post this as a topic:
Thespeedgamers are a group of people who play games for charity. You show up, donate, and enjoy the regular antics of the stream. There are a lot of great people in the chat and the commentators are generally fun to watch.
Their next marathon will be from May 6th - May 9th, beginning at 6PM CST. They will be playing every Metroid game.
For more information, visit: TheSpeedGamers
Not trying to advertise, but it's for charity; so show up if you'd like!

Posting to subscribe. I watched one of theirs last year I think. I think it was Mario themed, because I seem to vaguely recall Sunshine. All I remember is that someone at a ghost pepper.

I just showed my son the NES for the first time and we played Metroid for a bit. It was pretty fun, although he didn't seem to care too much just yet. He's more interested in Wii and Mario Galaxy, i think the downgrade in graphics was too much of a shock to him at this point, lol.

Totally understandable. I have a rough time playing older games sometimes.
