If anyone’s taking the dust of their Super Metroid, but has since lost the manuals, Nintendo officially hosts it as PDF

They host both JP & USA versions, by the way.
Also, I do not know the path within their site, but they were indexed on DuckDuckGo:
- USA: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals/common/pdf/CLV-P-SAAHE.pdf
- JP: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals/ja/pdf/CLV-P-VAAHJ.pdf
Thought it would be of interest given the recent port. Also why the GBA hashtag at the beginning.
Also worth noting and reiterating, you need a legal copy of the game if you want to try the port. What counts as legal depends on your country (looking at you, DMCA), so do your research.
This is probably the SNES Classic manuals:
@NekoKoneko@lemmy.world paths match, yeah. =)
They also had the NES ones, if you’re curious:
Also seems like that to get the Japanese one, you just need to go to language at the top-right, and choose 日本語.
the manuals were half the fun. reading one in the car on the way home from the store was a whole ritual
For anyone nostalgic for game manuals like myself, I’d recommend the game Tunic which has a beautiful manual as a core mechanic.
