The Zebeth name might have been a mistranslation due to the "th" phenome in Japanese sounding like the English phenome "s". The Localizers might have assumed it was supposed to be Zebeth rather than Zebes due to this. It's the same mixup that caused Aerith of Final Fantasy VII to be originally known as Aeris. When such words using the "th" sound are romanized, they are often written with an "s" rather than "th".

"th" sounds at the end of a word are one of the hardest things to romanize with Japanese, but it's agreed upon that the best and closest thing to use would be ス "Su".

So I think some poor translator had to just stare at ゼベス "Zebesu" and just flip a coin on weather it meant "Zebes" or "Zebeth" because he had no direction. Lmao.

After, unfortunately, contracting sepsis about a year ago, I lost almost all of my memories due to brain damage. In the long months since then, recovering - slowly - through the past several months in a nursing facility, I have, quite fortunately, been given the chance to play through the NES Metroid, and... memory loss from sepsis is fickle... i STILL remember every corner of Zebes, able to play through it and find all missile expansions to a collection score of 255, and all six energy tanks - not forgetting the two bonus tanks that don't count towards the overall health total - just bonuses to top off Samus' health at opportune moments. Needless to say, I absolute ADORE this game, and will be through it again for many years to come... hopefully. I skirted past the cut-off point for sepsis - 35-45% chance of relapse within 8 or 9 years. Here's hoping for now flukes to suffer through. Would really like to go back to the world of the living, getting a job, and continuing my adventure for a long time. Still hoping to play through Dread - I bought it, and even got sepsis the day before I was planning to start my own playthrough of Dread.

After years of hearing about the development story of the original Metroid and Kid Icarus, I always figured Metroid would have been the much better game. Then I actually played the original games, and I think Kid Icarus actually turned out better. Metroid without maps or a proper way to heal is a real drag, and the way the ice beam was handled hurts. It really came into its own on the SNES, while Kid Icarus just got forgotten until it became the best Star Fox game 25 years later.

Great start to another marathon, John! Lookin' forward to seeing both new and updated thoughts on Metroid!

Zelda kept the save file system going from Disk to Cartridge, but Metroid felt the need to insert password system

I’m so glad I decided to play all the 2D games before Dread. I hope Dread gives the franchise the praise it deserves.

[@GenerationZ313]

I certainly hope so given how popular metroidvania type games are now.

Thank you for revisiting this series! Your original retrospective got me into this franchise, and it's heartwarming to see how far you've come.

I think it would be neat if we got a remake of Metroid Zero Mission in the Retro Engine or as it’s now known as the Star Engine.
