Released Mar 19, 1994Platform Nintendo Entertainment SystemImported Mar 15, 2026

The Space Pirates, merciless agents of the evil Mother Brain, have stolen the last Metroid from a research station, and once again Mother Brain threatens the safety of the galaxy! Samus Aran must don her awesome array of high-tech weaponry to retrieve the deadly Metroid hidden deep within the cave-riddled planet Zebes. Super Metroid features excellent graphics, with a huge variety of enemies and worlds to explore. The side-view action will be familiar to many players, only now there are new weapons and items, including the Grappling Beam, which allows Samus to swing across large chasms, and the X-Ray Scope, which reveals secret passages.

Each row here is an imported IGDB release-date record. One platform can legitimately have several dated entries for regional launches, re-releases, storefront variants, or later ports, which is why you can see the same platform repeated with different dates.
