Big N is giving Samus the loving treatment she deserves this month, with all of August being redubbed the "Month of Metroid." First off, there's a new Metroid Prime 3: Corruption preview channel on your Wii, where you can see some trailers for the game as well as gameplay videos. You can find that in Wii Ware, for all your promotional needs.

This month will also bring the long-awaited Virtual Console releases of Metroid (for 500 points) on August 13 and Super Metroid (800 points), considered by some to be the greatest game of all time, on August 20. As you've probably already guessed, this is all leading up the the reason for the season: The release of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on August 27th.

I hope Diskoboy is reading this. Metroid and Super Metroid coming to the VC...nice. I hope you didn't sell your Wii yet.

LOL

I still have it. RE4 kept me from selling it, seeing as how I never played it, last gen. I've still stuck to not buying any VC games until I see metroid. And believe me, they've added a ton that I wanted to buy...

IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME, NINTENDO!! ;)

Coincidentally, I just created my Metroid sig the other day. Anyways, this is great news.

(And I can't let this thread go by without saying yet again that Super Metroid is my favorite game of all time.)

I just got finished watching both video's, and I have only one problem:

The game is starting to look more 'run & gun' than 'search & explore'. Especially the bridge fight video. I'm praying this isn't the case.

Sweet. I'm also a bit stoked that this is the first "game trailer" offered for download on the Wii... can demos be far behind?
