Hello. Metroid Fusion was also my first Metroid game, which I played through Retro Arch. I'm in the process of playing through the rest of the series starting with zero mission, and then playing AM2R next. Have you played them all?
Fusion was also my first, but I played it on the GBA. I still have my original cart for it and will sometimes play it on a modded GBA. Although having it on my hacked 3DS is also convenient too.
As for Zero Mission and AM2R, both are fun. Zero Mission is a bit hand holdy for the first playthrough, but if you explore a bit or look up guides you can ignore the waypoints and sequence break the game. AM2R is fairly linear because of the nature of Metroid 2, but that doesn't detract from it being one of my favorite Metroid experiences.
The only ones I didn't play are Other M and Federation Force. Also I didn't finish Prime Hunters, playing it on the 3DS was too clunky. Fusion remains one of my all time favourites: I discovered it by chance looking through my brother's 3DS, it was one of the game he had for free through the Ambassador Programme, and I didn't know the Metroid franchise at all. Needless to say I fell in love lol
