I wanted to add a quick anticdote about ZM's length to my last post but it didn't really fit. It could be considered a spoiler so don't read this if you care:

When I beat Mother Brain for the first time, I was put off by the fact it only took me two hours to complete the game. But, as it turns out, the game doesn't end when you beat Mother Brain anymore. Instead, Samus's ship is shot down while she's escaping the planet, and she has to infiltrate a space pirate's mother ship without her power suit.

I figured this new addition might make for a couple more hours of gameplay, like the remake of the original Metroid was only the icing on the cake. Instead, it ends once again in 30 minutes, 40 if you're taking your time about it.







End Spoiler post... I should find a new hobby...
