About this product
Product Information
“Metroid” was developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System gaming console by Nintendo, and the game was released in 1987. This title helped spawn an entire series of games, and has been very influential, creating a whole subgenre of similar games with an emphasis on exploration, key items that open up new areas, and secrets. The game also helped to invent speedrunning as it rewards players for completing the game in under a certain amount of time with a unique ending. “Metroid” has been ported to the Game Boy Advance (GBA) as well as the Nintendo Virtual Console on the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U.In “Metroid,” gamers play as Samus Aran. She is a mercenary hired by the Galactic Federation to prevent a group of space pirates on planet Zebes from corrupting captured metroids, which are extremely dangerous alien creatures, to use them as a biological weapon. To do this, Samus Aran must break into their base and attack the leader of the space pirates, Ridley, and his second in command, Kraid. She must then defeat the evil Mother Brain, the final boss in the game. After doing so, she must place bombs within the base and escape before they detonate.Samus begins the game with only a small blaster, which is capable of only beating some enemies. She can also jump, but all other abilities must be unlocked as the game progresses. These include her ability to contract into a ball, to roll into tight spaces, to climb walls, and to lay bombs. She may gain more powerful blasters with varying effects on enemies. Each ability is held by an ancient. Abilities enable her to access more parts of the game, although she is still free to explore any place she has been to thus far, and exploration is often rewarded by the placement of hidden power-ups and other items. Players select their active item easily with the select button on the NES controller.Throughout “Metroid,” Samus encounters various native creatures and monsters that seek to bar her path. Some are passive while others engage Samus immediately and demand a quick response. Memorizing the layout of Zebes is essential as players need to create a mental map in order to proceed through the game in the most efficient manner. The game's regions are broken up into Norfair, Brinstar, Tourian, and the lairs of Kraid and Ridley. Each area has a distinct color scheme, helping players to determine where they are in the game.“Metroid” is a definitive game for the NES system. It offers a different and unique ending depending on how long it takes the player to complete the video game. “Metroid” makes full use of the graphics chip within the NES. With hours of replayability and a password save system, this game is a must-have for any NES collector or video game enthusiast. “Metroid” is a classic title for the Nintendo Entertainment System that stands out in the adventure game genre even decades after its initial release.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (1,607)
- d***9 (0)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipped super duper fast! It was also wrapped very carefully in the box (something I’m always concerned about when buying online). The bubble wrap sheet ended up being almost twice my size lol! The box it came in was also taped up and secured very nicely. The 3DS and its case was in way better condition than I expected it would be and definitely worth the price! The 3DS also runs perfectly with no sticky buttons or faulty game card slot, as described. Would definitely recommend this seller!Nintendo 3DS XL LL Pink Console + extras (USA Seller) (#205653111354)

Happy to do business with seller, highly recommended!
- 1***a (94)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived in good condition and great shipping speed. The listing did mention the game manual was included but it did not arrive with the game. The seller was wonderful in messaging after the item was reeceived. Offered to refund and cover shipping back due to the slight misunderstanding of the listing. I declined returning it solely for the fact that they were not hostile during communications at all. Great and honest seller. Would buy from them again! :)Final Fantasy IX (PlayStation PS1 2000) Original Complete + Manual CIB (#205432526118)
