Comments: I see debate over which is better, Zillion or Metroid. Well, my personal fav is Zillion, but there are valid arguments on both sides. Zillion was more colorful and had more eye candy(SMS had more colors available then the NES, NES games were usually pretty ugly), plus story was cool and it was based off an anime. My light phaser was even based off the Zillion gun, yay! However, metroid was more in-depth and complicated, and had a password system for this. An average Zillion game for me takes between 45 minutes to an hour to beat it, Metroid tons longer, and theres much more to find in Metroid, more items, etc. But for me Zillion is still more fun and less frustrating, it had better graphics, better sound and music, etc. I wish Sega would have kept with it like Nintendo kept with Metroid. Super Metroid for SNES is my fav game of the "exploring big 2D labyrinth" genre. I would have jizzed my pants if there was a Zillion 3 put out for the Genesis, as long as it was more like the original Zillion and not like Zillion 2, since Zillion 2 went away from the 2D labyrinth thing.
