Glacier928: "Nintendo has finally rolled out the Virtual Console service for the Wii U and they’ve mentioned that we will see GBA and N64 titles hit the service in the near future. For this Top 10, I’ve decided to look back at some GBA classics that I feel would make a perfect fit for the Wii U VC service."
"Following the remakes of the first two Metroid titles, 2004’s Zero Mission and 2017’s Samus Returns, Super Metroid seems like it would be a perfect choice for the third remake, should Nintendo have an interest in pursuing another one after Metroid Dread. After all, it’s the next 2D entry in line for a makeover, and it’s arguably the most iconic and beloved installment in the entire franchise. However, 2002’s Metroid Fusion has some strikingly unusual structure and ideas that Dread subsequently altered and expanded upon, and applying that evolution of design back to Fusion could make for a perfect remake opportunity." - Nintendo Enthusiast
Why a remake? It laid out the foundation for a sequel! Come on you Metroid fans have been getting nothing until now and you rather a remake instead of continuing with an improved sequel? Smh
Well, Dread took apparently about 4 years, so a sequel right away would probably take 3 or so.
For a Fusion remake they could just take the engine they have now and pump it out in 1-2 years with a smaller team, since they dont actually have to design the game per se.
While some of the others start production on a sequel (or a completely different game), its not like the whole studio starts working on any given new project right away anyway
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "Metroid, as a series, had kicked off with a bang, albeit one held back by some questionable design choices. Future generations would come to view Metroid 1 and 2 as important games, but heavily dated. Excellent ideas and innovative concepts, ultimately held back by flaws in a few key areas. They just needed one last push to move into the realm of all time classics.
In 1994 they would get that push, with Super Metroid."
Alex DS from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The Wii U is a great place to build up a collection of classic video games. And with Nintendo beginning to phase out the online services for this system we figured it was as good a time as any to go over the games that are must-haves from the Wii U Virtual Console!"
Circle of the moon and the other GBA castlevania games plz :D
megman and bass, WarioWare Inc. and Golden Sun. :)
GBA games should be on 3DS eshop
gba games on wiiu? not what I want on a 400$ machine. how about some gc games.
Am I the only one who still thinks it's odd that the Wii U is getting GBA games while half of the 3DS ambassador games were from the GBA?
