The Metroid Wii U charts are popping
When a new game in a beloved retro franchise is announced, there’s only one thing to do: marathon all the old games before it’s out! A lot of people had the exact same thought that I did whenMetroid Dreadwas revealed, as it turns out, as the Wii U charts are lighting up with old schoolMetroidtitles.
As soon as I heard the news from a reader I had to rush over to my Wii U (which is still hooked up, by God!) and check. Sure enough!Metroid: Zero Missionis currently rocking the charts in first place, followed byMetroid Fusionin second.
Then if you scroll down a bit to fourth, you’ll find theMetroid Primetrilogy.
The 3DS and Wii/Wii U have been a boon for theMetroidseries, hosting tons of classic titles among them. While the Switch Online classic games perk has been nice in some ways, the glacial pace in which new titles have been introduced has been excruciating compared to the massive library of the Virtual Console. If only Nintendo had allowed full backward compatibility for it on the Switch.
Either way, you have their old systems to fall back on.
