Remember this game is older then 99% of the people here. Think of that before passing judgement...
This game personified the action/adventure genre back in the mid-80's. At the time there was nothing that played as smooth or had its character. I really have to laugh at some of these 5.5 or lower ratings. Development o... Read Full Review

Gamespot is way off with their review. This game is an old-school Gem, especially for Metroid fans.
I usually don't write any reviews for Virtual Console games, but when I saw that gamespot gave this game a 5.5, I had to write a review. This game is an old school gem and is definitely worth the 5 dollars. It's especial... Read Full Review

In a sense, Metroid is one of the greatest games of all time. Just not in the sense that you'd still want to play it.
At this point, Metroid probably needs no introduction. It's the game that launched one of the most legendary franchises of all time, and it's a bonafide classic in its own right. There's no denying that Metroid was an as... Read Full Review

Thank you VC..
Glad to see this game finally come out on the VC. Only thing I did not miss was the password. Really brings back the old school running shooter. Happy to see the graphics looked ok was not stretched or blurry. Nothin... Read Full Review

Metroid is with no doubt one of the best series ever.
I Love metroid. This game is the original and in my mind the best ine. I've never played this game before. I've had it but for some reason, I never played it. Then I put it in the old NES and started playing it. Within 1... Read Full Review

A solid, fun and inspired Action-Adventure game that should not be missed.
First and foremost, I want it made clear that I am rating this as a 1987 NES game, since that is what this is. It is unfair to rate this in comparison to newer games because this has had 20 years to rust over time. Anywa... Read Full Review

One of the greatest games to ever be released. Ever.
I can't really explain how great this game is. It is a classic that must be experienced by any gamer. I own every system and many great games. And metroid is one of those games that comes to mind when even thinking of th... Read Full Review

Skip this and buy Metroid: Zero Mission instead.
If you really want to know how Metroid franchise got started, then go buy Metroid: Zero Mission for your GBA and just skip this Classic NES Series title entirely. As a kid it took a long time for me to realize, that t... Read Full Review

Maybe people should check the release date before commenting bad.
Great Game!! Ok, it's absolute rubbish, but it's a game from 1987! It's older than me! Don't listen to people who say it's a rubbish game, it was excellent for it's time and still great to play today! The first instal... Read Full Review

With games like Metroid Prime offering this as a bonus, or Zero Mission on the same system, what makes this worth it?
I consider the "NES Classics" thing Nintendo's been using a total scam. Why pay $20 for what's probably offered elsewhere for much cheaper? Buy "Donkey Kong" for $20 and get a whopping 3 levels of gam... Read Full Review
