i do not like metroid nes

It's a relic of it's time. The first Star Wars for example isn't a high quality movie. The story and characters are weak. The tech is dated. But it was highly influential and it was a "classic" in that sense.

Metroid is pretty much the same thing. Super Metroid made it obsolete as far as quality goes.

It hasn't aged well. In my opinion, most NES games haven't aged well, even the "classics". Metroid is probably worse than average though because the open and labyrinthine nature of Metroid games really suffers without a map or detailed environments. To be honest it's a little surprising to me the series got off the ground all things considered, though I'm super glad it did.
