This has got to be one of the cooler things about Wii U.

Thanks but, by SNES version, I actually meant the SNES version. Not some other virtual console version.
Loving it already, Miiverse is amazing.

A lot of cool things about the Wii U. Kinda strange the way it is not really that popular of system so far.
Anyways, this is the first time I'll be playing the game. We owned the cart at launch, and I rebought it on Wii VC but never sat down and played much. Will be beating it on the Gamepad, though.
This will be the first Metroid community on WiiU

Yep. DAT Samus

I know man. I keep asking myself over and over why I didn't buy an American Wii U.
But after the 3DS 60hz VC, how was I supposed to know?
I liked LttP and Yoshi. No SNES collection can go without them, but Super Metroid is:

Assuming you mean Metroid 1 and 2 not super. 3ds xl from the shop is probably the best way.
SEE!!! I TOLD YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!

Instead of playing the original Metroid, get Metroid Zero Mission for your GBA. It's a remake of Metroid and is far superior since it adds a map and fleshes out the story a bit.
Download Metroid II on 3DS eShop.

Holy shit, that gets me every freaking time I play.
Any veterans of the game looking for a different way to play, I might suggest a no-boss, no mini-boss run (except for the chozo to get the bombs).
Goal is to get as many items as possible without facing a single boss or mini-boss. I still remember climbing that wall in Maridia sans Gravity Suit. Nightmare inducing.

Believe in Samus' legs, my friend.
I learned how to wall-jump effectively going up the tall tunnel in Red Brinstar. I sadly wasn't able to get into the area leading up to Crateria (damn croissant turtle-bugs!), but I thought the whole Etecoon encounter was a cinch way after.
Been up

Could also do a partial reverse boss run or skip the grapple hook. If you get the Varia suit you can unequip it in section before the entrance to lower Norfair (where you normally use space jump to get into) and wall jump into lower Norfair.... There's also some debug glitch if you go backward to the screw attack to get your gravity suit anyway..
Since the Wii U is getting a GBA VC, Zero Mission will probably show up on the Wii U eShop sometime in the future, hopefully soon.
it's been on the Wii U eshop for nearly 2 hours already
Ahh, I actually played Metroid Zero Mission a LONG time ago. I should re play it.

Just DL'd and started a new game.
I have to say, I really like how SNES games look on the U emulator. Very crisp at 1080p, whatever form of edge enhancement it is using isn't the yucky kind that over-vectorizes everything. Each pixel appears preserved.
Forgot how Samus feels every so slightly heavy compared to Zero Mission and Fusion. Just takes some getting used to again.

I really hope that Nintendo gets the GBA VC going soon, and games like Zero Mission get top billing.
If there's one Metroid game that needs more lovin' it's that one. I still have my GBA cart with a 100% Hard Mode save file and I still might buy the Wii U VC version just out of principle.
The controls definitely aren't as tight as they are in, say, the GBA games. They're still solid though. Also, the jump does slow you down a bit, but if you dash into a jump, you keep the momentum. Continue working at it.

That's not the black two-piece. What are you doing, Japan?
I sometimes forget about the run button at that point, too. I don't recall getting stuck there on my first run all those years ago. The manual tells you about the run button, right?
Well, we have one in the n00b bridge, so ...
YEP. I didn't know it was a common issue until i came to that wiki

When I was a kid I couldn't figure it out either. It's weird. I think I knew about the dash, but didn't think to use it. My mind immediately when to "this must require bombs or something."

Which one?
Red Brinstar or the sand-pits in Maridia accessible from the bombed bridge
Those Japanese artists need to play this game complete to the end. Two-piece Samus needs more representation. Also: stop sucking at running.
its not showing up on the wii u either.

So I assume that
that pit
That part in Brinstar where there's an energy tank right there, and then you fall through the floor like a fool.
Unless it's something hilariously obvious like that bridge.

I'm really sick of the pad's pathetic range. I'm beginning to believe this thing was *not* designed to be taken away from the console and around the house. My bathroom is 6 meters away, and when I close the door sometimes games are playable, and sometimes they're absolutely not.
Case in point: I just got destroyed by the Chozo statue holding the morph bomb. Thanks Iwata!

MiiVerse wins the generation, I don't give a damn. And I totally did NOT save that Samass image. Nope.
Doing some business, and will be downloading this IMMEDIATELY when I get home. Controller mapping will make this game so much better.

All of those images from the manual and guide-books are awesome. I just wish I was at my computer to post some.

I think the real point is that we need Super Metroid 2 on 3DS.

I'm going to do some victim blaming here and say that people who want to play games on the toilet are silly.
As far as Gamepad range goes, YMMV. Some people have great success. For me, it works in some areas and not in others. I can barely get a signal in the room adjacent to the Wii U, probably due to the WiFi signal in the direct path as well as the water heater and plumbing. However, I can play on the top floor of my house in nearly every room. It's weird.
Maybe someday there will be a signal booster.
