Metroid: Zero Mission Coming To Wii U Soon

by Javy Gwaltney on Jan 13, 2016 at 11:00 AM

Metroid: Zero Mission is zooming its way to the Wii U's Virtual Console tomorrow. The game will be available to purchase for $7.99.

Zero Mission is a remake of the original Nintendo Metroid that was released for Gameboy Advance, sticking players in the suit of bounty hunter Samus Aran as she takes on space pirates performing dangerous experiments on a mysterious planet.  It's considered by many to be one best games released on the system and received a 9.5 from us in our review back in 2004.

You can get the sequels to the game on Virtual Console as well, with Metroid II: Return Of Samus available  for 3DS and Super Metroid available on Wii U.

Our Take
Metroid: Zero Mission remains one of the two Metroid games I've successfully completed and I'd love to return to it for a bit. The reasons for me to get a Wii U keep piling on!
