Revolution's "Virtual Console" Details

Metroid II will always kinda be the "original metroid" for me... it was the first one in the series I had ever played. I would love to see a remake, but I loved the feel of the original game. I really wanna see the metroid mutations make a comeback in a metroid game someday, too.

Aaanywhosawatsit.. as excited as I am for the virtual console deal, I don't see too many games on there that I would actually download and pay for. Most of the ones on there I want to play, I own on cartridge.

Look VERRRRY carefully in Fusion. They're there, in the background of the Metroid Room SA-X destroys. I would like to see them in action again, though.

If I can play super mario rpg on it, I'd better start saving up for the revolution ...

Of course if you could also play GB/GBA games on it that would be even better.

That would be cool to see a remake of Metroid II, because even though it's a good game, it's easily the worst game in the Metroid series.

I concur. Honestly, it's a great game that is ruined by the inferior hardware it was limited to at the time. The original Metroid was kind of the same way but at least that had color.

A lot of the locations are a bit bland too, which I can only attribute to the system again. Everything kind of looks the same, except maybe some areas might have some different plant graphics or something.

But yeah, I'd love to see them do what they did with Metroid: Zero Mission to that. Zero Mission was quite possibly one of the best remakes I've ever seen. Heck, they could do the same thing with the original Legend of Zelda. Actually put a story in there with towns and people and whatnot.

Slightly off topic, but what system is star tropics and the sequel on? Those controls sound like NES to me, but I couldn't find it as an NES rom.

NES.
Also, I would suspect SSB isn't on the list because of two reasons: SSBM, and SSBRev.

Think about it.
