About this game

Samus Aran heads into the underground world of Zebes to confront the Space Pirates and Mother Brain. Metroid combines combat with exploration: the Morph Ball helps Samus investigate narrow spaces, while discoveries such as the Ice Beam, Varia Suit and Screw Attack add new abilities to the journey.

Archive notes

Main image uses the user-supplied transparent NES shell with this exact regional label, placed at uniform scale. This is a standardized display composite, not a physical-cartridge photograph or a print-ready label. The linked community catalog lists the regional licensed release; its physical dump is not recorded. This display is not manufacturer authentication.
