It's a complete retelling and retooling of Samus' first 2D space adventure, including remixed areas, new power-ups and over a decade of refinements added to the formula. Nintendo has freshened the experience...

I never bought this for some reason. My knowledge of the game is that it's a remake of the original NES Metroid, and I heard it's better than the original in many ways.
Of course it's better than the original. In fact, it's better than Fusion. The original is of course awesome on its own merits but highly outdated at this point.
I've played a bit of this, and it was pretty awesome.
Wow, I just started playing this and all I can say is I love it so far!
i wnat this game but its so expensive and cramped looking. i hope they add it on the 3ds e-shop later on
Will you accept the Wii U eshop instead? I'm looking forward to downloading this.
