This section of the channel allows you to purchase and download games from past consoles, such as Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Metroid for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
[edit] WiiWare
On August 10, 2007, Nintendo released the Metroid Prime 3 Preview Channel, a special promotional channel for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, available for download from the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel for free. The channel featured videos showing Corruption's gameplay and story line. More videos were be added periodically before the release of the game that introduced new gameplay elements, showing how the controls work, and revealing more of the plot. A special puzzle was also included that allowed you to move the Wii Remote around to reveal two hidden images.
