So I picked up a few old games on the Wii U eShop:
* Metroid Zero Mission - My son really enjoyed playing Xeodrifter, and I don't have a good way to play this classic entry to the Metroid series any longer... so seemed like a great time to grab this virtual console release. Don't regret it at all.
* Fire Emblem - Another old GBA game that I don't have access to any longer and wanted to check out. Again, my son just started playing Advance Wars 2 and rather likes it, so this seemed like a good next step. For what it's worth, I enjoyed this quite a bit more than The Sacred Stones (which I own and can play on 3DS).
* Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow - Same situation as the others, and seemed like a great way to finish off my GBA trifecta. Oddly, I don't think I've ever played this game before... or at least I don't remember doing so, despite having owned all of the other GBA Castlevania games.
* Tallowmere - I've been wanting a cheap rogue-like, and this reviewed pretty well here at NWR. Initial impressions were a bit mixed, but I think with some time it could grow on me (and if it doesn't, the game was really inexpensive anyway).
