I've never played any Metroid, is it cool? is it worth my while? if it does, why? and if it actually is cool and stuff, where can I get it and for what consoles?

In my opinion Metroid is a cool franchise. Also Samus(main character) was the first female hero in videogames.
List of current known games:
Metroid (1986 - NES / re-released for the GBA in 2004 as a part of the Classic NES Series) Metroid II: Return of Samus (1991 - Game Boy) Super Metroid (1994 - SNES)
During 8 years Nintendo didn't released anymore Metroid games until...
Metroid Prime (2002 - Nintendo GameCube) Metroid Fusion (2002 - Game Boy Advance) Metroid: Zero Mission (2004 - Game Boy Advance) Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004 - Nintendo GameCube) Metroid Prime: Hunters - (2005 - Nintendo DS) Metroid Prime Pinball - (200x - Nintendo DS) Metroid Prime 3 - (2006 - Nintendo Revolution)
Curious fact: At the beginning when the first Metroid was released, a lot of players thought Samus was a He instead of a She.

I think that happened because with bad graphics, somebody with an armor like that can't be perceived precisely and since there were no female heroes yet, they just went as usual and thought she was a man.

Current Metroid games you should try:
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004 - Nintendo GameCube) [First Person Shooter!] Metroid: Zero Mission (2004 - Game Boy Advance) [Includes Original NES Metroid] Metroid Prime: Hunters - (2005 - Nintendo DS)[First Person Shooter!]
Although, the one for DS hasn't been released, you can try the demo. I marked the FPS because I know you like that kind of games.

I was just giving sugestions of the current Metroid games you should try, I know you don't own a GCN or DS. You could probably play GCN games in a demo station or at a friend's house, the same goes for DS games.

Ok, ok, I'll give you credit because you were trying to be nice.
For the demo stations, I never go to those places, except for a place where the guy in charge was a friend and I played with him in there for free but it closed about three years ago, about the friends house, well, you could invite me to your house for example, but that doesn't seem to be progressing, I don't have friends that leave really close to my house like to stop by every while and I think it is anoying that a guy only goes to your house to play with a machine that he doesn't has himself.

Metroid is a great game, and I believe it really has nice to know there's a female in that -bounty-hunter-of-the-galaxy-wearing-a-space(..) suit n.n I'm glad with the fact that it's a She and not a He... but, anyway XD... Samus is Samus... ...so let's cheer for females ^^ ...and cheer for females who are space bounty hunters that have awesome abilities, powerup-able canons in their right arm, and at anytime can make nasty space organisms (like metroids, pirates, all under some horrible AI-controlled planets...) blast off either with ulta-potent missiles or some sort of extra-charged energy mass (condensed and looking like a ball) which is bigger than a bullet and more dangerous than running with a knife in your hand! ... ...peace XD
