One thing I like about James is he's really good at vocalizing the things we normally project onto some games. That whole bit about how you can see how damn mad Motherbrain is at the start of the the second phase is a great example.

That doesn't really change the point he was making there. And for the sake of argument, there was a tad over a years difference between the release of Metroid and the first issue of NP.

The map was on one page in Nintendo Power and really almost worthless unless you had a magnifying glass. The maps in the Player's Guide were very valuable though.
