Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Metroid (NES) hits VC in US!

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=26916

After Super Mario Bros, this is the 2nd ever title I bought/owned/played-to-death for the NES - and has a very fond spot in my memory. Found a bunch of exploits (door jumping into "memory"), completed it several times, etc. Its quite challenging, and a heap of fun.

Its US only for now - but I'll instantly buy this once it comes out in Australia.

...

For anyone who hasn't played it - its a must download/play IMO.

Now if only they would bring Super Metroid out...

...

20th July, 2007- Get your space protection skills poised and ready for action as this week Virtual Console offers up the iconic Metroid™, originally available back in 1987 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. A combination of action adventure and platform shooter, players assume the role of Samus Aran, a space bounty hunter, who is set the mission of saving the universe from the spread of ‘Metroids’, the most dangerous creatures in the galaxy. Using Samus’s trademark Morph Ball ability, players must search every nook and cranny of the planet Zebes and defeat the leader of the Space Pirates, Mother Brain, to restore peace to the galaxy once more. Available for 500 Wii Points, Metroid™ is out of this world and available now on Virtual Console.

so good :)



Hells yes!



Witty signature here...

Wii: 14 million by January  I sold myself short

360: 13 million by January I sold microsoft short, but not as bad as Nintendo.

PS3: 6 million by January. If it approaches 8 mil i'll eat crow  Mnn Crow is yummy.

With these results, I've determined that I suck at long term predictions, and will not long term predict anything ever again. Thus spaketh Crono.

ABOUT F*CKEN TIME!
This should have been released months ago.



Currently playing:
Wii: MySims | Xbox360: Halo3 / Pac-Man C.E | DS: Scurge | PSP: Ghost in the Shell

This game is awesome, but it hasn't aged well. I think only Metroid fans are going to have much fun with it.

great game...but cmon, Super Metroid!



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

ok time to spend another $20 and dl a few NES games.



Man, Metroid just hit European VC, not American!


Oddly, it seems Australia didn't get it. You're still playing catchup with TG16, right? You broke 100 games this week though.


Reality has a Nintendo bias.

I was just going to point that out.  America gets new releases on Mondays, Europe on Fridays.



Yes, us in North America have yet to be so lucky. But perhaps this Monday...
