They added a full voice acted introduction to the game.

You hear the computer say something after scanning something.

Hmm... Looks pretty cool, but let's see how well NPC: Pikmin and Mario Tennis do, first. :)AjaxNeron

Correct me if I am wrong. But wasn't there voice acting in the first cutscene in the original MP? darkgamingdude

In the PAL version,it did.Not in the North American release.Not sure about the Japanese copy.

So far,I still haven't seen anything enticing enough to make me purchase Metroid Prime again.And Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all-time,too.

There was voice acting in the original and when you scan. When theres an alert on your map it says "incoming data". I had the EU version so im not sure about the US.shutdown_202

Well look at that. Something other than a new method of controls. Interesting.wiifan001

Indeed. I'm more surprised that the PAL original had voice acting. I had no idea.

I wonder if they improved the graphics? I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to do, just to give it a newer feel. It would really seal the deal for me.

Yeah I remember hearing that they were going to add some VO for the PAL version, not sure why exactly, but its nice to see they are bringing it to the US this time. I'm still not sure why Japan gets this game first, they dont' really like Metroid that much.AlmightyDerek

Well considering that Metroid is a popular first-party franchise from Nintendo, and Nintendo are a Japanese company, I would go so far to say that they probably DO enjoy Metroid.

On the contrary, Metroid is pretty well-known for not being all that popular in Japan. Heck, even outside of Japan, the series rarely ever gets the success that the quality of its games justify. As far as quality goes, it's a clear first-tier franchise for Nintendo, but when it comes to sales, it's drops down the list much like a rock. Anyway, to add to the topic, it is nice to see that the Wii version of Metroid Prime has been given some "bonuses," even though I'm not quite sure it'll still top the bonuses the original GCN version had. Obviously, Nintendo's not going to have the NES Metroid as an unlockable, as it gets in the way of the Virtual Console sales. I'm curious to know what Nintendo will do to replace this, if anything.

Well, I just like to say that you've made me change my view. You make a really good point, and I admit defeat.

I wonder what they will add as far as extra content goes as well, with the original Metroid a great bonus in the original. Maybe they'll include it as a free download from the VC, but I seriously doubt it.

Haha! You make it sound worse than it really is. I was just bringing that to your attention, that's all. I wasn't trying to "defeat" you at anything. :P Anyways, it will be interesting to see what it is Nintendo adds. If there are tokens in the game, like Metroid Prime 3, then that means that they will probably be used for SOMETHING. The question is whether that something is the artwork that you unlocked in the original version of Prime 1 under different conditions or something completely new. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
