This was a sad decision. Nintendo has a HUGE catalogue of high-quality games, but by limiting them to only a few platforms (some of them very old platforms) you unnecessarily restrict the consumer.
I've been playing Super Metroid lately. I got it for free online using a ROM emulator or something... it's weird, and probably a little illegal, but the full game works just fine.
So there I am, sitting in front of my iMac, using an Xbox 360 controller with customized controls to play a 20-year-old Nintendo game. It sounds odd, but can you blame me? My alternative is to hunt down a working Super Nintendo and a functioning copy of Super Metroid... WAY too much hassle. I would much rather pay $5-10 for this game if I could have it on my computer or a mobile device legitimately.

...You do know that you can get Super Metroid on the Wii U, right? Or on the regular Wii. It's like ten dollars, if even that.

Edited by LOLdragon89: 1/21/2014 9:05:39 PMLol, I had a feeling something like that was the case... Do you need a special controller for that, or can you just use the Wiimote?

For the Wii you'd need a Gamecube controller or classic controller, but for the Wii U you could just use the gamepad.
