The Metroid Zero Mission ROM is already dumped and available

[Ed Oscuro]

o_O

No links here, no sir, no ma'am. I'm surprised it's already out -- must mean that Nintendo gets the carts moving pretty quickly.

Here's some screenshots somebody took:

Title screen in VisualBoy Advance (oh, yeah...new style Win XP sucks, classic forever, heh heh) ~70K

Data Select screen (of course it's a spoiler)

Brinstar Map (more spoilers, obviously)

Oh yeah, do feel free to comment on this, flame the GBA ROM release dump teams, whatever...just don't throw anything my way. This is just the facts, ma'am. I don't apologize for posting this, because I think it's something people should know about, and if you want to go grab that ROM...I expect you to go buy the game new, as well.

heh, dumped a couple weeks before release, that beats the speed that neo geo games are dumped.

i really wanna play this, but suck at finding romz, just gonna have to wait until my famicom gba sp comes in.

[Ed Oscuro]

I can find t00 jah r0mzzz :P

I'm gonna buy the real thing works. Metroid Fusion looked fuzzy as hell on my TV, but I'm still gonna buy this. I'll have an S-Vid cable for my GameCube by then, most likely.

[gamegirl79]

I am definitely going to buy this game. I'm not really surprised the ROM is out there already.

Kind of off topic, but buttasuperb....may I ask where you ordered the Famicom GBA SP from? I really want one but don't know where I can order it.

[Jive3D]

yep, got this sucker earlier today. Gonna play it on the train ride home. Can't wait. CAN"T WAIT!!!

This is nothing compared to the Fusion ROM... as far as early dumps are concerned. I downloaded and finished Metroid Fusion in late September 2002... a full month and a half to two months before its official release. Needless to say, I was shocked to find a link to the ROM in a forum I just happened to be browsing one day. Of course, I still bought the game. Metroid's my game, yo. I need to own and play them all thoroughly.

I think I'm gonna hold out on downloading ZM though. This time, I'd rather see it on my Game Boy Player first. Just wish I had one of them Hori pads to play it with though.

By the way, I was joking about finding ROMs. Some folks at another forum I frequent have it...but I don't have it, and I won't be wasting my time downloading it to pass along.

Just a heads up.

Thanks for the info on the GBA SP guys.

One more question....will this play U.S. games?

[buttasuperb]

Yup. There's no regional lockout on GB, GBC, and GBA games. All GBA's play the same games.

[Jive3D]

yeah all GB products have no regional lockout, which is great since it's a portable unit and a traveller can pick up a game in japan and play it on the way back to the US.

I will most likley purchase this game as well, I buy all the major franchises for the gba, but the ROM will still be thoroughly enjoyed.

[kainemaxwell]

But how's the gameplay?

[Darth Sensei]

But how's the gameplay?

Of GBA Roms? They play exactly as if you were using the store bought cart. Identical.

[Cmosfm]

I know a lot of you are against roms, and a lot are for them. But if you want Metroid Zero Mission heres a site that carries it. It always carried the latest 10 GBA Roms...

I've never posted a rom link here before, so mods, feel free to delete this at your discretion.

[SoulBlazer]

It's rather disturbing that a game not due to be released until Tuesday has allready been dumped by someone. That means someone inside NOA must have done it.

And why play a Game Boy ROM on the computer? The whole point of a GBA game is for it to be PORTABLE.

I'm not saying it does'nt have uses -- checking out new games to decide to buy them, for example, since no one rents GBA games. But I know I allready want to buy this game. I wonder how much it's going to hurt sales.

[GaijinPunch]

I've got a 14 hour plane ride coming up. I'm buying the real thing for that.
