For me, anyway. Must have died 60 times. Remembering old tricks from the earlier games, I ended up in a situation where I somehow glitched a door and got soft-locked (or so I thought... having finished the game now, I found a way to continue, but not without starting over from scratch to get through the whole game first). That door just wouldn't open, and it was just a regular door.
Anyway, it's also completely badass. If you're a fan of any Metroid game, you're insane to not have this game already.
Sure, there are some insane speed runners on YouTube that blast through the game in less than an hour and a half, but it took me a bit over 7 hours to complete on my second run, having gotten stuck 8 hours into my first. The completed run only had %45 of the items. Dunno if I'll 100% it, because there are a few that are tricky as hell. There is really some fancy stuff to be done with "shine sparking", as you can even do it while in a morph ball.
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
