Super Metroid is worth the standard $8 or whatever Nintendo charges for VC SNES games.
For 30 cents everybody that owns a Wii U better buy this.
*sigh*
Mods please edit 30 cents into the thread title somewhere, please.

Would love to have this on the 3DS but playing on the gamepad is also cool.
15 hrs!
just 30 cents for the first month then it goes full price after that. its a monthly 30 cent sale on games
It's a 1 month 30 cent sale price.
You buy it for 30 cents its yours, you keep it, it's not a rental.
Is it possible to use a credit card and get charged exactly 30 cents on the eShop? Or do I have to put 5 or 10 bucks worth of credit on there as a minimum (similar to how Wii points worked)?
Even though I have SM on the Wii VC (already transferred to Wii U even), this is still a pretty good deal.

Can't wait for this. Going in completely blind.
One of the most appealing parts of Super Metroid to me was how simple the plot was and how well the atmosphere of the game felt. You feel alone and yet completely surrounded. The planet is living and you're all by yourself on your mission. I think that's one of the reasons Metroid Prime did so well. They were both very comparable to each other in ways that the rest of the Metroid games couldn't quite grasp.
I mean the first was establishment, the second was experimental and trying to see how they could bring it to portables, as well as a bit of expansion on the story and mythos. Then post Super and Prime we get Fusion, which is a very good game, but you lost the sense of solitary exploration. The same could be said of the games that came after in both 2D and 3D.
But enough of that rambling. I strongly urge any and all to purchase this game tomorrow and experience how good it is. It holds up extraordinarily well and is a prime example of a good game always being a good game. Plus, tell your friends about it and maybe it'll push one or two Wii Us.

Same here.
And for the record, I've never finished a 2D Metroid >_>
I found Fusion and Zero Mission... super boring.
*runs*
you really missed out.
i was 9 (about to turn 10) when this game came out. i'm an only child and my parents made pretty good money. like many only children, i was sort of spoiled. however, around when this game came out, my family had hit hard financial times due to my dad getting laid off. we had a spring-cleaning yardsale and i sold off all of my old childhood toys and, remarkably, pulled enough money together to get this. my best friend (then and now) went with me to the mall, I bought Super Metroid and he got... Mega Man 6. We had two TVs hooked up in one room, one with Super Metroid and the other running Mega Man 6. After only moments, he put down Mega Man 6, you could tell he was envious.
i played this game for months, no strategy guides.
i love this fucking game.

Still one of the best games ever made, definitely in my top ten.
*Swoon*
Can't wait to play and beat this for like the hundredth time.

It's actually difficult to find ANYTHING that costs 30 cents these days. I would buy almost any console game ever for 30 cents, much less one of the best in history.

The best game of all time.

Seriously. Even if you think you won't play it, just buy it to support it. As one of the best games ever, the sales are well-deserved.
30 cents is the price of five sticks of gum, if that, and you can pay the exact amount.
If you haven't played Super Metroid at all, it comes 100% recommended anyway.
It holds up well enough, and is easily superior to Fusion in almost every way.
With Zero Mission, I think it's more arguable. That game is basically a combination of the original Metroid, Super, and Fusion. It's a near-perfect blend of these three games, and has a great remixed (and original) soundtrack and improved controls.
Sometimes I almost feel like Zero Mission is overlooked. For me it's easily in the Top 3 Metroid games, along with Super and Prime.
In the end, however, it's easy to see why people appreciate Super the most. I played it to completion before and after Fusion and Zero Mission and it continued to hold up.

I've forgotten that the 30 cents thing updates around this time. I'm definitely buying this tomorrow. This will be the first time that I play Super Metroid and I'm very excited about it.
If there are people who won't pay 30 cents for Super Metroid, they don't deserve to experience Super Metroid.
Like throwing pearls before swine
Lol, is this for real? This is the best deal in gaming EVER!

Its a pretty picture, but I doubt it can be animated decently.
Honestly, I have yet to see a 2d HD game with better animation than old pixel based games...
And what a way to troll with the title OP, I liked it!

The only time I ever had to look to gamefaqs for this game, even though I forbid myself ;_; #shame
EDIT: #doubleshame for using #
EDIT2: wait a minute, I though this was about
the Meridia glass bridge

Noob bridge is for noobs, which I am not one of. Shit's super fun upon getting dash upgrade.Can't wait to see how manycan't cross that bridge, you know which one
Balloon Fight wasn't worth it at all.
For 30 cents, I'd buy Too Human.

The last bridge in Green Brinstar before entering the red shaft. It's got a popular moniker these days since first-time players have trouble with it.

The "Noob Bridge." It's a bridge in Brinstar with low hanging spikes above it that crumbles underneath your feet. It requires you to dash across it, but a lot of new players go in not knowing there is a dash button. Hence, "Noob Bridge."
Anyone who owns a Wii U and has never owned this game before has absolutely no excuse to not get this game right now.
Yeah, 30 cents is awfully easy to justify, the only way you won't be able to do it is if EVERY game is 30 cents, and that'd still entail getting every game that interests you for good OR bad reasons.
It IS a thread that hopefully will house many new players, so I think it's understandable. Whereas if this were JUST about reminiscing it'd look kind of dumb since it's not a thread for someone to stumble on unless they don't care about spoiling themselves.

Balloon Fight was worth it just for posting screenshot high scores.
Shit is always gonna be shit no matter how cheap.
