Super Metroid now on Virtual Console for a mere 30 cents

One of the greatest games of all time and a personal favorite of mine, Super Metroid, is now available on the Wii U Virtual Console. Even better, it's part of the Famicom 30th Anniversary event, so it's only 30 cents until June 2nd. Super Metroid pretty much broke the mold when it came out on the SNES in 1994. It would inspire dozens of adventure comes to come, most prominently the later 2D entries in the Castlevania series, not to mention setting the gold standard for the Metroid series as well. I've been counting down the weeks and months since Nintendo announced Super Metroid was coming to the Wii U VC, it's the definition of a steal at 30 cents, so do yourself a favor and download this classic to your Wii U today.
