There aren't too many games that garner multiple purchases. I've purchased every single Metal Gear Solid game twice (minus MGS4 which will inevitably have a special version which I'll probably end up buying!!) I've bought multiple iterations of the same Resident Evil games. So re-buying Super Metroid on the virtual console was a no-brainer.

The SNES era, aww such good memories; back when Nintendo had amazing Final Fantasy games and third party support was as strong as first party games. What ever happened to that, oh yea, Nintendo became as cocky and arrogant as Sony is now; beside that my question is does Super Metroid go down as just a great SNES game or the greatest?

My list goes as follows: Top 3 SNES GAMES

1. Super Metroid

2. Super Mario World

3. Link to the past

(Who didn't see that coming!!)

It's great... it doesn't need 2 threads though :P

I have to agree with you that it's the greatest SNES game. Super Mario World comes close, though. It's only now that I realise this - when I was a kid Donkey Kong Country was my favourite game.

Super Metroid is one of the greatest Metroid games out there and happens to be my favorite one out of the series, I really wish this could be remade over again

I think it's the greatest. I was only 5 when it was released and I got it, but damn that was the most fun I ever had with my SNES. Chrono Trigger, FF6, Mario World, and Mario RPG are all close, though. But nothing can touch the pure gaming bliss that is Super Metroid!

Super Metroid is not only my favorite SNES game, but it's still my favorite console game of all time. I still run through it about every other month or so, even after all these years.

Super Metroid is one of my favorite games. Super Mario World and Zelda are good, too.

Super Metroid is great, but not the greatest SNES game, IMO.

My all-time favourite game. I haven't found another game that makes exploring and back tracking as enjoyable and rewarding as this. This game is as close to perfect as I could ever expect.
