This is the list that was given:
1. Metroids 2. Kraid 3. Geemer 4. Space Pirates 5. Mother Brain
These are the reasons why the list sucks and why this person should never be allowed to write an article on video games again, let alone one of biggest Nintendo franchises of all time.
1. Metroids - Anyone that has played Super Metroid knows that a big metroid helps you kill mother brain, and without the power of the metroid, you'd be dead.
2. Kraid - He's not a bad choice for a 4-5 spot, but No. 2? That's terrible. The fact that the person rips on Ridley under his writing about Kraid goes to show that this dude is not even close to a fan of Metroid. Ridley is one of the most badass enemies in video game history. The battle against him before Metroid Prime in Metroid Prime was epic, and he makes multiple apperances in Super Metroid as well. Amazing boss and good candidate for a new character in the new super smash bros game for the Nintendo revolution
3. Geemer - Wow.
4. Space Pirates - Meh.
5. Mother Brain - Put the big boss of the first three Metroid games as No. 5 behind geemer and space pirates … pure genius.
Steve Kovach should've looked over this list before it got printed.
