The original NES classic version of Metroid re-released on the Nintendo eShop in Europe this week allowing gamers to see how the whole saga began. As the legendary bounty hunter Samus Aran, players will once again be able to take on the Space Pirates and their leader, Mother Brain, to bring peace to the galaxy. The original Metroid adventure introduced the unique blend of exploration and high-octane action that has characterised the series ever since.
There are many discoveries to be made in this classic NES Sci-Fi action game and use Samus' Morph Ball ability to search every nook and cranny to uncover power-ups like the Ice Beam, Varia Suit and Screw Attack, only helps make the journey even more immersive. Journey back to the planet Zebes for the adventure that started the whole saga, now on the Nintendo 3DS eShop Virtual Console across Europe.
