Release Date: Mar 19 1984
Super Metroid is the third game in the Metroid series and is the sequel to Metroid II: Return of Samus. In it, Samus answers a distress call at the Space Colony Ceres. She finds the station deserted, and the researchers dead. When she locates the Metroid Hatchling they were studying, Ridley abducts it and Samus gives chase.
Super Metroid improved on the formula established in Metroid and Metroid II: Return of Samus, and introduced many features that would become staples of future installments, such as the ability to fire in all directions and more expansive plot told through cutscenes.
