And if you're really desperate for a 32 bit Metroid, there's always Metroid Prime Pinball.

I wholeheartedly agree with you about Castlevania. None of the 3D installments have been anywhere near as entertaining as Symphony of the Night or the DS games.

As for Metroid, I DID agree with you, but I have to add this: Metroid Prime and (I'm assuming) Metroid Prime 2 were really good games. It's hard to explain, but they did a very good job of keeping the game true to the spirit of Metroid while doing it up in 3D. I know you said the DS installment sucked (and honestly, I thought it would), but before you give up on 3D Metroid altogether, I have to recommend the Gamecube versions for you. Well worth it.

Whereas I tend to prefer new music to old, I think I'm showing my age (such as it is) in the area of video games, where I prefer everything to be in 2-D. I'm not sure why.

I'm another one of the folks who thought that Metroid should be confined to 2D, and while I liked Zero Mission and loved Fusion, the Prime games on Gamecube are leaps and bounds above them in terms of overall quality.

They basically took everything the 2D entries had and translated them perfectly into 3D without missing a step. It doesn't hurt that the games control absolutely flawlessly and are incredibly beautiful. I'm still shitting myself in anticipation of Metroid Prime 3.
