The original Metroid blasts onto Virtual Console

See how the story of Samus Aran began! Metroid, the NES platform shooter from 1987, now comes to Virtual Console.

Metroid was a truly ground-breaking game that established the famous trademarks of the hit series: massive environments, upgradeable weapons and suits, and the famous Morph Ball ability.

Plus – complete the game in less than five hours and you’ll see the moment when players first discovered Samus’s true identity!

“HA-DO-KEN!” Street Fighter II: Turbo hits VC!

Street Fighter II reignited the fighting game genre in the early ‘90s. Such was its success that many follow-ups soon followed; one of the most popular of which was the Super Nintendo version of Street Fighter II Turbo.

Now on Virtual Console, Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting brings back the original characters with new moves, new outfits and the ability to play as powerful bosses such as Sagat and M. Bison. Plus – you can increase the game speed to an incredible pace!

The default setting allows for up to 5x speed but by using the secret code below, you can increase up to 10x speed.

‘Mega Turbo’ code

First, connect a Wii Remote with a Classic Controller in the player 2 position, and use it to enter the following code when the Street Fighter II logo appears (before the scrolling “Turbo” text): Down, R, Up, L, Y, B.

Silent Debuggers sneaks onto Virtual Console

In the far future, mankind has conquered space and is finally at peace. However, small criminal elements known as ‘Bugs’ threaten universal harmony, so a covert team of ‘Silent Debuggers’ is deployed to stop them. As their newest recruit, you must clean up the dangerous space station ‘Gane’, from where no Debugger has ever returned!

This Turbografx classic from 1991, out now on Virtual Console, is a unique first-person action-adventure that combines shooting with exploration, as you battle your way through claustrophobic corridors to solve the mystery within.
