Metroid: Zero Mission Wii U VC Trailer
The wait is finally over! Japan and Europe have had Metroid: Zero Mission for Wii U Virtual Console for a long time. Well, it’s now our turn. One of the best 2D Metroid games ever made, Zero Mission is a revamp of the original Metroid on the NES. Improved graphics, an all-new mapping system, better play mechanics, and a completely original epilogue makes this a fantastic experience from beginning to end.
I enjoyed my time with this one way more than Metroid Fusion, and if you haven’t ever played Zero Mission, it comes highly recommended. It will be available for download on Thursday, January 14 via the Wii U eShop. Check out the trailer below and get hyped!
