Well, in Europe at the very least!

Metroid II: Return of Samus will be making its way to the Virtual Console section of the Nintendo eShop this Thursday. This was revealed through Nintendo of Europe's upcoming games list, which can be found on the right here.

The Game Boy entry in the classic Nintendo franchise sees Samus Aran on a mission to rip planet SR388 of the Metroid creatures. Abilities like the Spider Ball and Plasma Beam make their first appearances here and make for a very powerful arsenal to save the planet. Along the way you will uncover various artifacts and battle enemies which seem to progressingly grow in size.

Metroid II will set you back £3.60/€4.00. It is uncertain at this time if North America will recieve the game as well.
