The way you people describe Metroid and how it diverges from Castlevania in the formula makes it sound like I should really enjoy a Metroid game or two. And for some reason, I really never have enjoyed one. Prime was the only one I was really committed to, and even that seemed like a chore. I played the original back in the day, and the GBA ones, and nothing stuck. Is super really that much better than the rest? Is there any chance I'd enjoy it? I guess maybe exploration alone wasn't enough to keep me hooked, as there was always a lot of back-tracking, which made it feel repetitive in a bad way. SotN was combat heavy and repetitive in that manner, but I felt that the combat was really fun and with all the options it stayed diverse enough to never feel like a chore
