ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Local gamer Libbi Fisher is reportedly backtracking through the corridors of her childhood to find the nostalgia she has for the Metroid franchise before the upcoming Metroid Dread releases.

ā€œI love the Metroid games! Or, at least, I’m pretty sure there was some love for the Metroid games around here somewhere. I can never be sure, but this whole area of my brain just feels like I’m gonna find some nostalgia somewhere,ā€ Fisher said to friends following Nintendo’s Metroid Dread announcement. ā€œSometimes it can get kind of tricky because I can lose track of where I am and then I’m not sure if I’m going through a childhood memory or just something completely new that I’ve never seen before in my life. I wish this place had a map.ā€

According to those familiar with the situation, Fisher’s friends are more into different Metroidvania games.

ā€œMetroid seems cool, but I need some quality of life upgrades to enjoy those kinds of games. That’s why I’ve been digging through my memory to see if I like Hollow Knight or just the art style,ā€ said Fisher’s roommate Donald Sitrick. ā€œI wanna find it, but man is it hard! I guess I gotta just keep practicing and trying again and again.ā€

At press time, Fisher was unable to locate any nostalgia for the Metroid series in her childhood, but did find an upgrade that allows her to perform a Screw Attack.
