Super Metroid was one of the four digital rewards added to Club Nintendo in April. As many of you know, the title will be included in the Wii U Virtual Console Trial campaign next week, meaning it will be available for just 30 cents for a full month.

Those who ordered Super Metroid from Club Nintendo and are now receiving a full refund – yes, the complete 150 coins. You should be getting the full amount back as long as you’re a Wii U owner. Amazingly, these Club Nintendo users can still keep the download code for use on the Wii U or Wii.

A very generous move on Nintendo’s part!

Activision CEO Bobby Kotick echoed similar comments made about the Wii U launch in February during an investor call today.

While speaking about the console’s performance, Kotick said that its launch was “disappointing”. Kotick did not elaborate further.

“While we have had a solid start to the year, we now believe that the risks and uncertainties in the back half of 2013 are more challenging than our earlier view, especially in the holiday quarter. The shift in release dates of competing products, the disappointing launch of the Wii U, uncertainties regarding next-generation hardware, and subscriber declines in our World of Warcraft business all raise concerns, as do continued challenges in the global economy.”

A few months ago, Kotick stated that Activision was “somewhat disappointed” with the Wii U’s initial sales. Kotick’s mind hasn’t changed, based on today’s comments.
