Metroid Prime Trilogy

[BreakABone]

This is probably the second greatest deal in video game history behind The Orange Box.

3 of the best games ever on one disc with retrofitted controls for the Wii. Say what you will about the Wii, but some games actually do improve with the controls, and Metroid Prime was one of those games.

Don't say Nintendo didn't do anything for you: on August 24th, the publisher will release Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Wii. Metroid Prime Trilogy, releasing almost to the day of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption's two year anniversary, is a jammed to the brim package that combines all of Retro's first-person adventure games for the GameCube and Wii, on a single disc. And the two GameCube games – Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes -- have been reworked with full widescreen, 480p support and feature the same awesome Wii Remote/Nunchuk control that made Metroid Prime 3 Corruption so tight.

Ahh nice they also included Prime 3 trilogy

Along with the new control and display options, Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes has also been given the same medal system that's already in Metroid Prime 3 Corruption. As you complete missions you'll be given medals specific to the task completed – each medal has a specific color, and you spend these tokens in the new front-end's option menu for unlockables. Each unlockable has a specific value: you can buy concept art, music, or special options like a screen grabbing utility so you can save screenshots to the internal storage and send them to friends. Some of the more coveted unlockables are far more expensive: we saw a few items that required three red, one blue, three yellow, two green, one orange, and two purple medals. You can also score medals by linking friends over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and earn friend vouchers

Myriad Tweaks: Trilogy supports 16:9 widescreen. They've added bloom lighting to all three games. Doors open faster. Loading times are faster. Samus can now do that ball-form jump where she drops a bomb and – with a well-timed Wii Remote flick – get extra air when it goes off in all three games. It might not seem like any one of these things really matters, but altogether, the tweaks go a long way toward making the games feel good and play well.

VERY NICE. Some exceptionally good news, very little gets me excited on the Wii anymore.

This looks really good, I loved 3's controls scheme.

[Angrist]

Great deal, but I already own all games.

[Zen]

this is cool, cus iv had 3 for a while yet did not want to play it cus i never played 1 and 2....so....I guess this would work...

[Angrist]

Sell MP3 while it's still worth some coins.

[Bube]

I own all 3, but would've definitely bought it if I didn't have the 3rd one..

[Storm Eagle]

I've already got all three, but I might get this just for the simple fact that the first two games will be retooled for widescreen. I'm not very crazy about how you can only score medals from playing against people on wi-fi though.

IGN has movies of MP up, they look great. Makes me want to replay that game... preferably with MP3 controls.
But I won't budge. Not for €50.

[Angrist]

You're getting sweet boxes!

A tin with a wrapper.

I'm thinking about selling my Metroid Prime games. Now I can still get decent money for them!

[BreakABone]

Also comes with an art booklet, which is something cool.

All of this for normal price.

[manasecret]

Woah, nice. How much you think you can get if you sold your others? $2, $3? But seriously, I wonder. If I could get $15 for the other three, the price for the trilogy might be worth it.

[Angrist]

I think MP3 goes for €20+, MP2 for €15+, MP1 for €10+. Here in Holland. That would actually add up pretty nicely.

[Shadow_Link]

Looks cool. Would probably buy it if I had the cash and time!

Where is everyone?

[Bube]

Hoooooly crap, Shadow Link!!
