If you’re a Metroid fan like me, then you’re probably pumped for Metroid: Dread. But you can play an older game from the series on your Switch right now.

No, I’m not talking about Super Metroid. Sure, it’s one of the best games of all time, and it is available on the Switch through Nintendo Switch Online’s SNES library. But I want to encourage you to play the original Metroid, which NSO gives Switch owners via its selection of NES games.
