You could go right, but then you would find yourself unable to press on. In the first Metroid, you are simply left with a basic description of your mission, and you are dropped off in a terrifying, 8-bit world. Let's start with the game that, aside from certain horror franchises, defines the feeling of isolation. But, now that we know what isolation means, how is it implemented into the video games we know and love? This definition perfectly fits its meaning in video games, thus when I am referring to isolation, imagine the definition of solitude, as opposed to the actual definition of isolation. Solitude means “The state of being alone or remote from othersâ€. In terms of sociology, isolation is defined as “a lack of contact between persons, groups, or whole species.†In terms of psychology, it is defined as “the failure of an individual to maintain contact with others or genuine communication where interaction with others persists.†These definitions do not fully express what I mean by “isolation†though, so we will move to a synonym, solitude.

Let's first find out what the term “isolation†means. This feeling defines certain series, such as Metroid, and is strewn throughout other series, such as Zelda, but either way, Nintendo has been sure to implement it in a way that only compliments the more social and optimistic aspects of their respective games.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, I am most certainly talking about isolation, the feeling that you are alone, stranded, and that the only person you can rely on is yourself. But you're probably wondering what my first article is all about? Hm? Well I'll tell you what it is, a feature of certain Nintendo games that I, personally, love, but certain people do not, a feeling that makes you feel alone, a feeling that sends shivers down your spine. Very VERY sporadically, as my schedule varies quite a bit and I never know when I can just sit down and write for an extended period of time.

Welcome to my series of articles, which, unlike Pocodudeface's weekly articles, I will do randomly and very sporadically.
