Well, like I figured, Super Metroid is out on the Wii virtual console. I thought it would come out around the time that Metroid Prime 3 would.
Super Metroid (Super NES, 1 player, rated E for Everyone – Mild Violence, 800 Wii Points):
The Space Pirates, merciless agents of the evil Mother Brain, have stolen the last Metroid from a research station, and once again Mother Brain threatens the safety of the galaxy. Samus Aran must don her awesome array of high-tech weaponry to retrieve the deadly Metroid hidden deep within the cave-riddled planet Zebes. Super Metroid features excellent graphics, with a huge variety of enemies and worlds to explore. The side-view action will be familiar to many players, only now there are new weapons and items, including the Grappling Beam, which allows Samus to swing across large chasms, and the X-Ray Scope, which reveals secret passages.
Also out this week is Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master for the Sega Genesis and Neutopia for the TurboGrafx16.

Most have known the Vc launch date of super metroid for about two weeks now, In the shop channel under the catelog headings, is an article called, "Its the month of Metroid"
In there It speaks of coruptions impending launch on the 28'th, and revealed that "nes" metroid would be released on the 13'th for 500 wii points, and then goes on to say way better way to follow that up, then with Super metroid which will be released august 20'th for 800 wii points.
The reason I mention this, Is not to sound like an ass. Its just very rare that Nintendo Allows us to know the games they are going to release for the Vc and when.
It was a pretty big whoopty do in the virtual console forums ;)

And it also shows how often I check the VC forums. I knew they were going to put the game on the VC before Prime 3 got released. I just forgot the release date for it. I'm sure they'll do the same for Super Smash Bros. in December.
I like how they've handled this "Month of Metroid" thing. I hope we get SMB 3 in November around the release of Super Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. around the time we get Brawl as well. Nintendo can do some more great stuff like this with their awesome back catalogs.
Anyway, I'm happy to finally be able to play Super Metroid again, still as great as I remember.

I never finished the game. I'm going to have to download it.
I dont know what the rules are here for side or off topic posts. But I will risk it as, ive never met the set of forums where an off topic post was just unforgivible.
I love the virtual console, Its the best idea Nintendo ever had. "even if, in some ways, they'er only following Ms's example." Still no one can offer the exclusive things Nintendo has to offer But they.
Ive Filled up My virtual console, Twice over. I suppose my only true gripe about it, Would be with the bigger titles out now. Like super paper mario. and some of the other n64 titles. they really take a lot of space.
I would love it if nintendo would allow us to play our vc titles directly from the sd card.
This problem is only going to become worse when they begin to release neogeo titles :o
Still, as far as this sort of thing goes. Nothing beats the Vc, hands down for quality and rarity, The vc rules them all :cool:

Its semi-on topic. ;) And I don't have an SD card yet. I just haven't had a use for it yet. And I agree that the VC is one of the best ideas that Nintendo has had in ages.
What I like about the VC the most is getting games that I missed out on. I never owned a TG16 or a Neo-Geo. Right now one of those problems is solved, soon enough NG games will be there as well. It's definitely a nice feature.
Maybe if that new Kirby game is released, they could release Super Star or Dream Land 3 on the VC around the time of its release!

That seems to be the trend with more well-known games. So there is a possibility.
