A sale on the Virtual Console?!?!?! Looks like hell froze over. Hopefully we will see future Virtual Console, WiiWare, and DSiWare sales.

This is indeed very cool! If only Nintendo did more of these things, especially for WiiWare games.

Thanks for the tip, Luke!

Yeah, I'm hoping Nintendo continues these sales like Sony does with PSN.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
