I kinda wish they threw Wind Waker in with Classic Controller support as an added bonus lol :P
Looks great though, definitely getting this one.
[QUOTE="EazyD91"]They might as well port all of the GC' classics to the wii, since most people probably missed them...-Oath
... Thats pretty much exactly what they are dud. Just with enhanced controls.
"ALL" of the GC's classics. I didn't mean only metroid, I meant other GC games as wellQuick 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

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.

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.Ahh, I see. Nintendo is actually just doing that to a selct few GC titls.

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.I would be tempted if it was £30.

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

With how underrated the Gamecube was I'm actually happy they're doing it.

It doesn't really seem like a stupid idea to me. Some of the best GC games are extremely hard to find, so I'm happy they releasing some of the better GC games for more people can play.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).

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

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.

Any links? I don't believe it until I see a link.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.

Here you go.
Reggie says it will blow you away.
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.

Well, that tells me something, but Reggie saying "it'll blow us away" has me worried since he said that MANY times.I would be shocked if this wasn't true, 3D realms is the only studio that can sit around and twiddle their thumbs for money guys.Nope. Many devs create engines or help other devs instead of working on new titles.[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]Any links? I don't believe it until I see a link.falconclan

Like skies of arcadia or Eternal Darkness would be great games to bring to new players. 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.[QUOTE="-Oath"]

"ALL" of the GC's classics. I didn't mean only metroid, I meant other GC games as wellThey've already done 3 others (Pikman, Mario Tennis, DK Jungle Beat)
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?
Wasdie
Pretty much. i mean its a good deal.
Speaking of NPC, Where is Pikmin 2! Everyone has it except for the NA! The last place to get it was Australia on May 14th! They completely forgot about NA for Pikmin 2 :cry:
