Posted March 24, 2014 Damn, shit sounds tight. Which format can I get this on? Wii and Wii U. And SNES. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 24, 2014 If those 2 aren't an option, I'd suggest a cycle-accurate emulator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 25, 2014 Wii and Wii U VC. Edit: oops, rookie mistake, didn't know there was another page :p Disclaimer: we don't support the suggestion in the post above! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 25, 2014 Why not? It's perfectly legal. Oo An emulator might be legal, but the roms are not. So what's the point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 25, 2014 An emulator might be legal, but the roms are not. So what's the point? As long as you own the games you're not hurting absolutely anyone. That should make it right in just about anyone's eyes. Which is all I care about. And you can have legal ROMs, you just have to extract them yourself... but that's obviously bullshit as you'll be extracting something identical to what's already out there, so it's completely pointless.

Posted March 25, 2014 Maybe so, but you said that emulation is "perfectly legal". No it's not, just the opposite. Doesn't matter if you own the game or not, but unless you make the copy (rom) yourself, it's technically illegal to download one copied by someone else.

Posted March 29, 2014 Is this the bit where you have to run across that room? You actually have to hold down the run button or you can't get across. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't matter if you own the game or not, but unless you make the copy (rom) yourself, it's technically illegal to download one copied by someone else. One can just as easily say it's technically legal as long as you make the copy yourself, we're just arguing semantics, here... The bottom line for me is that "the law" is only worth obeying when it makes sense, and in this case, it makes absolutely no sense. I own Super Metroid for the SNES and for the WiiU. I could make a rom myself, but why bother if it'd be 100% equal to the ones floating around on the web? I'm not a fan of bending the law to fit one's beliefs (I always wear a helmet when I ride my motorcycle, even though I wouldn't if it weren't mandatory... because while I disagree with the law, it makes perfect sense), but this is clearly a case where "the law" serves no other purpose other than to unnecessarily complicate a straightforward situation. When the law becomes nothing more than an encumberance, I refuse to obey it and have no qualms about doing so. It's quite possible (and easy) to do it 100% legally, but I'll never bother to do so. We're sidetracking the discussion a bit, though... Ugh. An hour in and I am stuck as hell. Can't go anyway. In Brinstar. I love the smell of Super Metroid in the afternoon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 30, 2014 Soooooo gooooooodddd. I just got the x-ray beam but I think ive only killed one of what I assume are foyr main bosses. Am I on track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 30, 2014 Am I on track? Sounds like it. The X-Ray beam is not actually necessary to progress (first time I played, I only found it near the end of the game ), but it sure makes it easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2014 One day I will get a boxed version, the Japanese boxart is amazing, but this will do for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2014 Have Nintendo ever re-released this on anything but VC? I can't imagine that they'd leave a game this classic to fester in obscurity for people who want to legitimately own it (not everyone is going to know or be savvy enough to emulate it). If they haven't, it's fucking boggling, considering the amount of re-releases LTTP and Super Mario World have gotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2014 Nope. The only games that got ports/updates was the original and the first 2 Prime games. Shame really as Metroid II would have benefited greatly from a Zero Mission style upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2014 Shame really as Metroid II would have benefited greatly from a Zero Mission style upgrade. I'm still waiting for this to happen. Would absolutely kill for a Metroid "Trilogy" remake of the first three games: The original/Zero Mission, II and Super Metroid. Hnnnnnnnnnngggg. I'm not usually one for remakes or re-releases. But, this would be unique and very much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah, but Super Metroid doesn´t really need a remake does it? Zero and Fusion pretty much are already based on Super's style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2017 Had an... interesting experience playing this over the weekend on my Super Famicom, the Crocomire boss kept glitching after I beat it and the map wasn't loading correctly so it was just looping but the cutscene where the wall breaks would still trigger if I went left. The doors were either gone or didn't work and I was able to reach the Energy Tank even though I don't think I should be able to at that point (but wasn't able to collect it). It was also playing random sound effects while playing as well, it it would make the sound effect when you take damage despite no enemies being nearby. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 3, 2017 I'm pretty sure that'd a cartridge-based glitch if ever I saw one, I've never seen anything like that happen in the Virtual Console versions of Super Metroid. Then again, I don't think I've played the Super Famicom version, it could also be unique to that version perhaps? Even so, it would still be a hard glitch to trigger again I'm sure, it's pretty cool either way so thanks for sharing, Ike. Damn... I want to play Super Metroid again now.

Frustrating thing is it's on my Wii but Eshop doesn't recognise I already own it so had to rebuy. Just got the Ice Beam and Speed boots, only killed Kraid so far.
