METROID PRIME TRILOGY announced! All three on one disc!

I'm selling off MP1 & MP2 just for this! :shock:

I have not beaten either of the two.

Not only did it have backstory out the wazoo, it had a story with a proper ending. It wasn't just like every other Metroid game. There was actually a narrative worth paying attention to that was delivered in a very non-traditional way.foxhound_fox

Agreed. After scanning all the Logs, what I had read was one of the best and best-told stories any game has had. The Lominoth were very interesting characters, andI found the brief interactions with their holograms/ghostsvery emotional (which may have to do with the excellent atmosphere around them).

I think the main reason why so many people hate Echoes is because its not like Prime. All they wanted was just another Super-Metroid-in-3D remake and weren't expecting a game to take everything Prime did well and put a new spin on it.foxhound_fox

I applause Retro Studio's for taking risks like that. The Ing Horde proved to be an awesome enemy, and the dark world was awesome. Overall, they gave the game a very darker feeling. Besides, it helped MP2 to be a stand alone experience, not just MP with better graphics. I can understand that that may upset some Prime purists, but the game manages to do what very few can: feel familiar and yet so different. It's a shame not many people look it that way.

That and the setting was nothing like any other Metroid game. Sanctuary Fortress was probably the best place in any Metroid game... even greater than those in Super Metroid.foxhound_fox

Quadraxis... hell I love that battle.

Ya. MP2s bosses were much better than the first one, and I liked how it was actually difficult aside from my other complaints :P

I just dont like it as much cause the whole light anddark world back and forth. It made the game a headace for me and felt more like a choir then fun.finalfantasy94

Naaaaah, the dark world felt gimmicky and the ammo for the weapons felt stupid. The backtracking in it was worse than the first, where I actually enjoyed it. There's a reason MP1 has higher critical acclaim and user acclaim >_>..Lethalhazard

They probably have never been able to get over the constant health-suck. And I agree with everything you say. MP2 = Best MP game.

:o Oh that's very NICE! :DStevo_the_gamer

Pass. That is a fantastic deal (MP3 just came out 2 years ago for the same price), but the Prime series is boring.

I'd rather play the original Gamecube copies,not the gimped Wii versions.

I would have been more thrilled about the imminent release of a 4th.. Unless Nintendo has that up their sleeves for E3! :omusicalmac

And this boxset is to get new players up to speed!!!:o;)

Well to me it doesint seem to add much but a pallet swap. I never felt the light and dark side were different besides poison air. Why not just make a bigger world or send me to another planet. Thats my problem with it. It just didint add nothing to me.

[QUOTE="IronBass"]The lack of love for MP2 Echoes in this thread is more than dissapointing... Especially considering it's the best of the three.IronBass

I havent played prime 2, ive played the other 2 but im interested in prime 2. Would you say prime 2 is to Metroid as Majoras Mask is to Zelda? Thats the general vibe im getting from this thread. MM is easily my favourite game of all time so i would like that kind of difference from the norm.

It still felt like a pallet swap. I felt like I was re exploring the same places jsut in purple. Also wasint there some of the same foes in the dark world that was from the light world? They just turned purple and I think shape. Thats why I didint like it as much.

You know Ive had both 1 and 2 for my GC and havent even touched them, same with 3 for the Wii..... Not that I didnt want to play them I just never got around to, another game always tugged at my attention. Maybe Ill sell them and get this.

Why not just beat them. It not like your going to get any big amount of cash for selling MP 1&2 GC version mainly since this is coming out. Its not like they control horrible on the GC controller. Just sit your butt down and play the game.

I still have quite a baglog that I wanted to finish before I wanted to play any of the Prime games. Plus all of them are mint so Ill probably get great prices for them, most likely a profit.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]:o Oh that's very NICE! :DShinobishyguy

All three on a single disc.

All three will be getting Metroid Prime 3's achievement system.

I beat all MP games. Yea but the fact of the matter is this is the first time the foes were in a 3d world/atmosphere. So it didint feel(for the lack of a better word)cheap since its the first time we seen them like this.

Well, only time will tell. I traded in a used copy of Wind Waker 2 weeks ago for $20 credit. Twilight Princess for $25

Pretty much. Also dont think about going to gamestop they would proboly give you a dime for both games.

Good, i love it when Nintendo does something like that, obviously most Nintendo fans don't sadly. I will definately get prime 2.

Your so lucky, I would give anything to have a first playthrough on MM again. Like i have said countless of times, MM is the most depressing/dark/morbid game i have ever played which i love. Im sure you know this but this is a game where sidequests should be mandatory. Make up about 50% of the game.

Enjoy.

This is quite an amazing deal. I'm a huge fan of the series and I have played all 3 Primes but I am definitely picking this up regardless

[QUOTE="OreoMilkshake"]That isn't real. There's only going to be one disc.finalfantasy94

Uhh I dont think so dude. Theres no way you can fit all 3 games on one disc.

When you can get games like The Orange Box, Europa Universalis 3 Gold Edition, Civilization 4 Complete, GTA4, Forza 2, Burnout Paradise and this amazing Metroid package I wonder why people still buy 6h games.

All they did was copy paste the light world and dark world which made backtracking between the two very annoying. It was unnecessary and they could have done without the burning darkness that made exploring a chore for the first half of the game. Other than that, I just plain didn't like the environments compared to the first one. I thought exploring was much better in the first than the second. They're still both AAA I just prefer the first one, a lot.
