Gotta love the VC. No need to deal with clunky old cartridges or consoles and you get to enjoy the classics, even the ones you missed first time around.

I played Super Metroid for the first time about a year ago, so I know exactly how you feel. Tonight I started playing Link to the Past for the first time.

You're in for a total treat!

In 1994, I told an Air Force recruiter that I would join the Air Force if he bought me Super Metroid. That commercial ("That's 24 megs ol' Killer is up against -Nintendo's biggest game ever) had me so hyped! I wound up getting it myself before I enlisted. The game did not disappoint. If I'd have gotten that game in exchange for dying in some far off country, I wouldn't have regretted it.

So you are saying that I probably should play it?

 Why are you still here, when you could be downloading and playing Super Metroid? Some people...

I know, it's probably my greatest gaming shame.  I was lent the game years ago by a friend, but at the same time I was also given Chrono Trigger... Super Metroid became that game that I promised to get around to sooner or later.

I only recently started using the VC and Wiiware and so far I've been replacing all my old games that my brother and sister traded in (damn them) while i was overseas and now Super Metroid is still that game that I am promising to get around to sooner or later.

It's all the more stupid because I absolutely love the Prime series, but I can honestly says it's probably the next game I'm going to download, I promise :)
