Ugh why can't Super Metroid be available for the 3DS!? Man Nintendo are so damn slow in bringing SNES/GBA games to the handheld... Not even sure if they'll EVER do it. :\

PopRocks3594034d ago (Edited 4034d ago )

Have they started putting SNES games onto the 3DS yet? I'm pretty certain its VC only supports GB, GBC, NES and Game Gear. Plus Super Metroid is going to be part of the Wii U's VC $.30 promotion.

@Snookies12 below

I happen to be a 3DS Ambassador. The twenty games included were ten NES games (almost all of which are now on the VC, if not all of them) and ten GBA games which were announced early on to have "no plans to be released to the general public."

So GBA games are not really on the VC, the GBA games were simply part of the Ambassador program. And I don't really know how to answer your question, sadly.

They probably could do it, but I think they may wind up releasing GBA games on the Wii U first. I'm pretty sure they announced handheld platforms for the Wii U's VC. It makes no sense to me either.

Snookies124034d ago

No, they haven't bought any SNES/GBA games to the 3DS yet. If the VC only supports GB, GBC, NES, and Game Gear, why did the Ambassador program people get Metroid Fusion for 3DS? If it's possible to run the dang thing on a 3DS, why don't they put it up for sale?

"I'm pretty certain its VC only supports GB, GBC, NES and Game Gear"

True, but does it need to be that way? The 3DS can handle Ocarina of Time, why can't it handle Super Metroid?

delboy4033d ago

Just wanna know how much is 200 coins in real money?
Are they ripping people like Sony dose?

Fusion did a great job at it. Really love that horror feel with metroid. I mean you are completely alone on alien planets filled with horrific monsters and toxic environments.

If they ever did I hope they would add onto it, there's so much you could do with Princess Peach's castle alone

roadkillers75d ago

Or just make the Mario 128... the cancelled sequel that sounded amazing (or was it just an amazing tale).

fr0sty75d ago

Funny that after all these years, we still use 64 bit CPUs, so it wouldn't make sense to call it that.

fr0sty75d ago

Yeah, a straight remake doesn't sound good to me. Same formula, but different game.

Number1TailzFan76d ago

Each level is pretty small today in the original game, I don't like huge levels but I think they could be at least 2x bigger, or close to it and more of them, with more things to do.

They could do a mix of having open levels and more linear ones like in 3D World or Land, I doubt they will do that but it would make a change.

Neonridr75d ago

I mean Odyssey's levels weren't massive, but requiring you to do different things in each world is what made the levels feel bigger than they were.

ZeekQuattro76d ago

I'd prefer a Oydessey 2 or Galaxy 3. Besides the DS
game was a Mario 64 remake complete with more playable characters, stages, bosses and muti player content.

Cacabunga75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

I did not like Odyssey i found the idea of ot lame.. i find it boring to just look for moons instead of exploring and enjoying the levels. Let’s not talk about the extremely repetitive and ridiculously easy bosses. Level design is so meh most of the time. Galaxy 2 is a far better game so Galaxy 3 anytime!!!

TiredGamer75d ago

Agreed. I enjoyed Odyssey for a while, but it quickly became very formulaic where each level felt like a checklist of things to do with WAY too many moons to find. The Galaxy series were the best, as they took some of what made 64 great and juiced it up perfectly.

Lolly75d ago

Yes! Let's release an almost 30 year old game to kick off the next generation for Nintendo...
I'm over re-releases...FEED ME NEW MARIO!
