During E3, the Metroid license celebrated a comeback, to the delight of the fans and to the horror of the youngest, who were mostly alien to this cult license. Today we look back in video on 35 years of a license that founded an entire genre.
That is 1986, in Japan that the Metroid adventure begins with Metroid. Between platform game and action adventure, the game quickly finds its audience and protagonist, Bounty hunter Samus Aran, becomes one of the most important figures in video games. Developed from the innovative Metroid series no less than fifteen video games, but also derived products of all kinds such as comics. The license will even leave its mark in the gaming world by giving its name, coupled with that of the Castlevania series, to an entire genre: the metroidvania, these games with inaccessible areas until you unlock a certain skill. So if you’ve never got your hands on any of these titles before, you have definitely already played one of his offspring.
