Metroid II: Return of Samus (Game Boy, 1991)

Better Than You've Heard

I'm in the minority, but I love Metroid II: Return of Samus. It was probably my favorite Metroid game until the excellent remake Metroid: Samus Returns released for Nintendo 3DS in 2017. Metroid II remains my favorite action-adventure game on Game Boy, and has a tense, dark atmosphere that surprises given its platform.Read full review

A Retro Classic

So happy to finally own a cart of this game after having rented it from a video store years ago. Works like a dream! AM2R and Samus Returns are far better gameplay-wise, but this is still worth an entire play through if you have not played it yet. I introduced so many details to the Metroid franchise for the first time and managed to look better than it's NES counterpart.Read full review

Gaming Masterpiece!

This is a masterpiece for the Gameboy. I never played it as a kid but came to me recommended so I purchased a copy. I really love the art style of the game and the music adds to the suspense as you travel around the maze of tunnels and catacombs. I highly recommend to any retro gamer.Read full review

A classic

Though still rough around the edges, as Nintendo was still learning about how to make the best Metroid game, Return of Samus is leaps and bounds ahead of the first game and is still fun and challenging to this day, without being nearly as frustrating or confusing.Read full review

Great Game!

I love the Metroid series. This one doesn't disappoint. The cartridge was in great condition too, despite being almost 30 years old!

Great now as it was when it came out

Had this game as a kid and it's still fantastic today. This particular cartridge was in great shape and i am very happy with everything.

An Original Classic, &; An Infinite Replay Title: METROID II, "The Return Of Samus."

When you have a hole in your pocket from not spending your allowance on something long-term, or simply without much personal interest invested period; METROID II: The Return Of Samus, for GAMEBOY Original: is a serious pendulum of activity uncensored. Despite a required complement of an operating system console, (The GAMEBOY Original). There are hidden features of score receipt up completion of the full title from Beginning to Finish! A time-attack function puts the game on replay again and again at full debut/release value, like any other Original NINTENDO Experience. Not to mention 3 files for user friendly gameplay. Your friends and family might find themselves absorbed by the whole series from no more than a small amount of devoted play-time & one of three file save possibilities!

Thanks again for the opportunity to review this title, and I hope you take my review seriously! It's probably my all time favorite franchise from the NINTENDO Collection!Read full review

Metroid II made Metroid what it is today

Metroid II established the aesthetic solitary exploration that defines Metroid games. Metroid II was held back by the limited graphics capabilities of the Game Boy, but it was such a good game otherwise that it inspired *two* remakes (one official by Nintendo and another fan-remake called AM2R).Read full review
