I recently discovered Super Metroid on the SNES emulator in Nintendo Switch.

The game is so good! Compared to the other games in the emulator library, it’s like night and day.

I have no idea about other games in 1994, and how does it compare. Doom is one year earlier and it’s much more advanced, so, who knows.

Super Metroid is, improbably, still one of the best "metroidvanias" ever made. The best, in my opinion. If you use the randomizers that people have developed in recent years, it's infinitely replayable.

It helps that it was among the later SNES games, so developers had more time to learn the hardware. Chrono Trigger (1995) is also one of the platform's best, most polished titles.
