With Samus Aran's debut on Nintendo's latest console still a few days away, it's not hard to imagine the hype amongst fans to finally see their beloved blonde goddess in armor back on their TV screens where she belongs, following their every whim and fancy through their controllers.

However, through a cunning Firefox workaround, those same worshippers of the blue-suited beauty have found proof that the red carpet may be rolling out for Samus sooner than we thought, in the form of Metroid and Super Metroid coming over to the Wii's Virtual Console. Yours truly presents Exhibit A and B - namely, the two screenshots placed above this article.

One of the first games to introduce a nonlinear game experience, as well as have a female character as the main protagonist, Metroid harkens Samus fans to the time when they first stepped into her shoes to fight the metroid menace. Super Metroid is yet another blast to the past, this time with improved visuals and gameplay mechanics - as well as epic boss fights that had you at the edge of your seat.

Here's hoping that Nintendo really has these two great titles in store for Wii owners everywhere - there can never be enough of the legendary Samus Aran, even with her own title on the way, as well as her appearance on Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Developments as they happen, so keep it locked right here!

It's official - they are coming this month; I logged into the shop channel and there was an announcement regarding some downloadable footage of Prime 3 and also mention Metroid will be released on August 13th, and Super Metroid on August 20th.
