  IGN: Super Metroid (Virtual Console) Review
Super Metroid is the third installment of the Metroid series, a legendary SNES action/adventure title that puts players once again into the role of bounty hunter Samus Aran, and once again into the mazelike corridors of Planet Zebes –; but it feels like it's for the first time.
Super Metroid's enjoyed over 13 years of replayability now because you can challenge yourself to try to complete the game without collecting all of the optional upgrades, or to complete the game as quickly as possible, or both at the same time.
Playing Super Metroid as a Virtual Console title makes the experience even more smooth than ever before, as the addition of the VC save state feature can help you keep your time down – no more running to an out-of-the-way save room when the real world calls you away from your game.

As Deicide pointed out the resolution issue, you also need to consider that most of the environment backgrounds (and many of the platforms as well as some sprites themselves) are too dark and moody and would not work (or would be too obscure) without backlighting (which the GBA does not have by default).
