A Sinister Planet Threatens the Galaxy!
Space Hunter Samus Aran returns to battle a planet crawling with evil creatures bent on universal domination in this bigger than ever sequel to the NES classic Metroid.
Take control! Guide Samus through cavernous corridors, ancient ruins and alien traps. On the mysterious planet of the Metroids, you'll find artifacts of a lost civilization that grant amazing powers. Cut through the creatures in a buzz-saw blur! Roll through hidden tunnels and climb sheer walls!
A battery back-up allows you to save your progress as you fight to the heart of the planet and search for the merciless Metroid leaders. If you are a cunning explorer, you'll earn the best of several super endings.

Booya, Metroid!
I find it a bit odd how so many GB games re-used sprites from their NES prequels. They look too huge on that tiny screen.
Still, I've heard good things about this game. I must give her a whirl some time.

You Should! This game was epic for me! I played it for hours without ever accomplishing anything! (Of course that was amazing, seeing as how my attention span as a little kid sucked...)

If it weren;t for this game, we Metroid gamers wouldn't have saving capabilities in Metroid games for, say, the GBA.

@8 Nah it wont. Nintendo arent releasing any of their GB games with the option of adding colour. It's either B+W or Green.
I tried out this game recently only to realise that I have played it before. Having the NES Metroid on my 3DS I can say that although it inspired a franchise, it really had many flaws. I'm not a metroid fan myself, but this game corrects a lot of the problems with the original and is overall just more fun to play. Having no colour actually has some disadvantage in this game as layers overlap, but overall it's good for a GB game. 8/10. Still not buying it though - I'm trying to keep my money to myself until Nintendo release some GBC games.

It will.
Oddly enough, the original metroid 2 came out in America before it came out it Japan. Now NA is getting it last...
Maybe they're still jealous?

What if for $2.99 extra (Making it $6.98) you would get color, backgrounds, and health-restoring save points making it a 3D Classic? That would be cool.
