They are packing 2 of the best Gamecube games together and one of the best Wii titles all in one package. How can you NOT expect this to get great reviews?

Metroid Prime 3 is the only Wii game I've really enjoyed so far, so getting 3x the awesome sounds like a great deal to me.

They might as well port all of the GC' classics to the wii, since most people probably missed them...

Quick question for those that have played it, i remember prime 3 had beam stacking (like S metroid) because there werent enough buttons on the controller (or something like that). Whats its like with the new prime 1 and 2?

I know i could quickly research this but ...meh

Ahh, I see. Nintendo is actually just doing that to a selct few GC titls. Its part of this series calld "New Play Control". I honestly think its probably one of the stupidest things Nintendo has done this gen but w/e, they're doing it.

They really should most people don't buy used games and there are so many great games on the WIi which did not sell well. Heck there are three times the number of Wiis compared to GCs. They should even remake more of the PS2 and DC games also.

Why would it be a stupid idea they are bring games to the Wii that many people have not played and will not buy used. I know hatters on this board dislike the idea but I have no problem with it myself. The more people that like a game the better the odds of sequels. Like skies of arcadia or Eternal Darkness would be great games to bring to new players.

I would be tempted if it was £30. That would be resonable, after all you can get Prime 3 for £12.50, and the other games are much older. They are charging full price though, and that is a gyp in my opinion. Metroid Prime 1/2 do not add up to 27.50, not when they used to sell them for a fiver. Even 30 is a stretch.

In the US MP3 is $50 new at Gamestop and Metroid Prime Trilogy is $50. So here it's an amazing deal.

Gamestop is the devil incarnate, especially after they bought EB Games. The prices and return rates they have over there are ridiculous. :evil:

Prime 1 and 2 use the plus button to switch beams,in a similar fashion as to how visor swapping was done using the minus button in Prime 3.

no no no no no dear god no

retro needs to be working on new games not old metroid games

nintendo has already overdone the NPC games, they even said the Pikmin 3 development got delayed a bit coz those teams were busy porting Pikmin 1 & 2 at the same time

dear god no more ports

How limited it is I find stupid. They shoulve seriously got 3rd parties in on it. Im not talking around 50-100 NPC GC games, Im talking around 25 games that really couldve worked with NPC.

This is pretty much what I expected, its 3 great games, and the wii controls aren't bad on metroid games, which is somewhat of a rarity to the wii console. I want it.

I can't wait for this game. :)

I had the first and third, but didn't play the first one because of the controls, and I didn't get too far in the third, but I loved it.

Nope. Many devs create engines or help other devs instead of working on new titles.

It's sad that Nintendo has to borrow games from was WAS arguably its worst console so that they can have decent games for what IS currently arguably its worst console. That's why it's stupid and despicable. Why devote time and resources to "updating" old games that weren't perfect in the first place (Mario Power Tennis, Pikmin) when you could be making sequels that improve upon the original design and that actually optimize the hardware? HINT: Nintendo loves money and hates making "new" games. P.S. As for Skies of Arcadia and Eternal Darkness, I can agree. But it's not Nintendo's prerogative to port those games, it's the prerogative of the publishers of those games.

I do want this game for the fact that I've been itching to try MP 1 and MP 2 with the Wii mote. I was willing to buy them as the NPC ports released in Japan, but this sealed the deal for me even more. :P

First porting a game over is easy and not normally done with programmers you want working on main games anyways. Second even though the GC did not sell well there are still many good games that more gamers should play. Again my view on it is that making these ports is taking nothing away from Nintendo making more games. I have no idea where your hint comes from. Also Nintendo is a silent partner of SK and owns parts of Eternal Darkness. The point thought is that I think more companies should port over games from the GC. It's not a big deal to me if people that did not have a chance to play a game before will now play it. Heck it makes for better odds of a sequel to the game because of more fans.

Its a good score but they are only the Metroid Prime Trilogy and we all know they we awesome game so why do they need reviewing.
