What should I download, I haven't downloaded anything since April and I have like 3100 Wii points. I wanna download Paper Mario but I need to finish Super first. Everything else I pretty much own in one form or another, besides the Turbografx stuff.

Download the Crush games from the TGX. They are the best pinball games ever

I might check those out. Ever play Victory Run? It looks pretty neat, I love old arcade racers like that, I'm thinking about maybe downloading that.

And holy crap. Metroid and Super Metroid were found via the Firefox trick.

I might get Super metroid even though I have it on SNES.

That's actually one of the few major SNES games I don't already own.

I'd complain about that, but I don't own major ones like Mario world, Mario Kart or Donkey Kong country.

They'll probably make everyone pay 500 Wii points for the internet channel version 2 with Kiiboard™ and Flash 9 support at the end of the year.

I haven't played Super Metroid since I moved into my house 4 years ago. It was the best setting ever. I was sitting in my yet to be furnished, cold room with nothing but a tv in the center of it. I put in my freshly purchased from Las Vegas vacation copy of Super Metroid and played for hours on end. It was all I could do aside from help with the moving. I'll definitely give it another whirl. I tend to get stuck in games and never finish them until years later.

WII-KLY UPDATE: THREE NEW CLASSIC GAMES ADDED TO WII SHOP CHANNEL
Aug. 13, 2007
This week it's All About Evil. The "Month of Metroid" continues, giving you the chance to contend with evil, flying, brain-like Metroids that latch onto your head and suck your life forces. Nobody needs that, especially not first thing Monday morning. Luckily, you've got a sweet suit and some nice weapons to help you navigate through this amazing classic game. And if that's not enough, you also have the option of dealing with bad guys named Dark Sol and Zenzombie. You just know when their parents named them that, they were asking for trouble.
Three new classic games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. Wii™ owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
Metroid® (NES®, 1 player, rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, 500 Wii Points): The first installment of the immensely successful Metroid series introduces us to the hideous title creatures and the slick, cybernetic bounty hunter Samus Aran. As Samus, your mission is to penetrate the space pirates' home planet, Zebes, and keep them from destroying the galaxy with the dangerous life forms known as Metroids. Metroid has all the high-tech weaponry, creepy tunnels and crawly alien creatures that anyone could ask for. With its deep and complex game play, excellent music and a rare sense of setting, it establishes a frightening ambience that will haunt and entertain you for a very long time.
Shining in the Darkness™ (Sega Genesis, 1 player, rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): Dark Sol has vowed to reign over the enchanted Kingdom of Thornwood, and only you can stop him. Find the powerful Arms of Light and battle the deadly beasts that keep your people desperate and starving in this epic journey for peace. Roaming the dark Labyrinth, you'll seek out enemies and collect weapons, all of which will help you pass the test of the Ancients and become a shining knight. Get into the adventure with a stunning 3-D perspective, amazing cinematic views and fast-paced scrolling. You'll move from battle to battle, solving puzzles and discovering secret items in this engrossing struggle between good and evil.
Cratermaze™ (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, rated E for Everyone – Comic Mischief, 600 Wii Points): Cratermaze is a comical action game set in a parallel world. While on a trip through time, you and your friends are confronted by Kublai, henchman to the evil Zenzombie. He traps your friends at separate points in the space-time continuum. Now you must fight your way through 60 rounds of mazes to save your friends. Dinosaurs, ninjas, robots and other enemies lurk within the mazes, spanning from primitive times to the future. Escape the enemies by digging holes to trap them in and then filling the holes to finish them off. Collect all the chests within the time limit to get the key and exit to the next round. With special items such as shovels and spring platforms, Cratermaze takes its game play to new heights, making for an unforgettable gaming experience.

I just thought of something, you think they'll ever put pre-NES games on the VC, like Atari and Commodore stuff? Price them at like 200 points, I think they'd make a killing.

I have a feeling we won't see a whole hell of a lot of domestic games released. In Nintendo's mind, Japan comes first.

Did Metroid always have such nagging slow down? Here I am, making my way to Ridley's crib, and I get a ton of orbs and weird bat monsters that make it so my shots and screw attack are virtually unresponsive at times. I wish I didn't upgrade to the wave beam. I miss my ice shot. I forgot how awesome the screw attack was.
Love this game. It, along with Dr. Mario and Super Mario, are the first games I can remember playing. I already have the original on the NES and on Prime, but I wanted motivation to actually complete the game. To this day I have only watched it get beat, and that was when I was like 3 or 4 with my dad.

I just stored up 5 or 6 tanks of energy and those little bastard metroids sucked it all up. I am so pissed.
