Okay it's not lost at all, quite the opposite in fact. Super Metroid is f'ing found now that it's on the virtual console. What about for those sinners our there like myself that never even played the damn game when it was in it's hayday?
THEN IT WAS LOST AND DAMN IF IT'S NOT A CLASSIC!
The Short-short: Brilliant SNES era 16-bit graphics. Impeccable timing of animation of character and weapon fire sprites. An innovative indigenious creature health recharging concept, perfectly timed weapon and suit upgrades kept the sense of abilities and areas to explore from becoming stagnant. Gigantor bosses that cause you to stare in awe when you have to climb 2 screens height just to stare them in the eye. This is the Empire Strikes Back of nintendo games (US Mario 2 was the Attack of the Clones of videogames). Roaming the hallways and tunnels of the game world leave you feeling like you can sense the dust motes and bizarre smells that must be swirling around your character at all times. Don't believe? Enjoy being terminally wrong. Decided that you're going to pony up the monies and buy and ACTUALLY PLAY the thing on virtual console if you missed the experience the first time around? Enjoy being RIGHT!
