One thing I like about Super Metroid is the solitude of it - it very nearly doesn't have any characters other than Samus, even implied off-screen ones, it has no story words after the opening, and it just doesn't talk to you or Samus at all (aside from with the animals showing you how to do moves on two skippable occasions). I want more of that in metroidvanias. Even Environmental Station Alpha has text logs.

It's so good. It's still my favorite Metroid even though I find the bosses and a lot of the enemies fairly boring solely because the environments and that sense of isolation are so good.
This is something I really like about Metroid II also, as well as the fact the game isn't afraid to strip away the music and just leave you with environmental beeps and boops. There's no distraction from the atrocity you (Samus) are perpetrating on the planet.
