If anything, NES Metroid needs a map more than Super/Fusion/ZM because most of the rooms are EXACTLY the same.
Actually, Metroid 2 is pretty linear.

Or Cave Story. But...
Would it have been too much to try to make one as blank and bleak as the Legend of Zelda one? I mean, that was just a huge gray panel on the display bar (But the devs gave a map because many would get lost in an open world...ish). Unless the display in Metroid was already simple as it needed to be (since I guess most of the dev time was making puzzles and intelligence patterns)... and the original intent was to explore unguided.

i don't think the designers chose to not include a map. it just probably would have been too much work to include one for an nes game.

You can play the NES metroid with a map now. InfinitysEnd over at MDb made a hack called MDbtroid. If you play it on an FCEUX emulator, you can run a LUA script which not only has a map screen and mini-map, but also lets you enable/disable items.
I played through it a couple of months ago and it worked great. Was nice to have a map and also be able to switch back and forth from wave to ice beam, without having to re-acquire ice before tourian. Here's the link:

Moi? Nahh, I only come up with that shit when it comes, never any random time.
