Where can I buy Metroid for the NES?
These games are no longer being manufactured so they’re not in new retail stores. Try used game shops, video stores that still rent NES, GB or SNES games, or search through newsgroups online (my favorite for finding games is rec.games.video.marketplace). Check E-Bay if you’re desperate, but be warned because prices can get way out of hand there. All three games are quite easy to find, and don’t be fooled by anyone claiming they’re “rare.” As of August of 2007, both Metroid and Super Metroid have been made available on the Wii Virtual Console for 500 points ($5) and 800 points ($8), respectively.
