10 Nintendo Games To Keep You Happy Until The Next Metroid
8. Wario Land 2
Wario Land 2 for the Gameboy Colour might not spring to mind in most fans heads when they're trying to decide what to play after Metroid, but the truth is there are a bunch of similarities to be found. This particular Wario adventure has a surprising amount of focus on exploration, with large levels packed with hidden treasure and even secret exits and alternate routes leading to new levels and even separate endings.
Unlike Metroid however, you can't be killed by any of the beasts you happen across. There are some really neat mechanics that involve certain enemies granting you powerups, including one that turns you into a zombie. Let's see Samus Aran do that, yeah?
