Polygon is saying that the game is 720p docked, is that confirmed? If so, that's disappointing...
Anyway, pre-loaded here and ready to go!
Gamecentral gave it 9/10!

In Short: One of the best Metroid games ever made and a thrilling restatement of everything that makes the series, and the genre it inspired, great.
Pros: Cleverly designed game world, filled with secrets and a huge range of weapons and items. Great combat and enemy designs and impressive graphics despite the 2D gameplay. Good soundtrack.
Cons: Only a few new ideas and the final boss is a real slog. The lack of hand-holding is inevitably going to frustrate some players.
Score: 9/10
That hand holding "con". :)

I've played for an hour so far. I'm going to continue after work tonight.
You'll see soon why people regard it as one of the best games of all time.
