mcj metroid Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Yeah I like the start loading scenes ie showing inside her gun and scenes of chosen game to play shows Samus in her metroid prime series suits fire off her weapon. huh I don't get ya?
Dante Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 i mean by picking one of the three samus, starts that loading screen then starts the game. IGN - Unboxing!
david.dakota Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Metroid Prime: Hunters, however.. stay clear of that game... it is very bad compared to the rest of the games. Every Metroid game that I have played (apart from Hunters ) is basically a classic To be fair, while i agree Hunters single player experience is poor, its controls are great but its real strength is in its multiplayer options. Local and online multiplayer options are great- and if i'm honest the reason i've kept such a weak game.
marcel Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 hope that the case in europe is about the same length as a standard dvd case or else the game wouldnt fit in my dvd/game rack.
Ike Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 hope that the case in europe is about the same length as a standard dvd case or else the game wouldnt fit in my dvd/game rack. I'm pretty sure we're getting the same box. You can register for a star bonus for this now.
Blue_Ninja0 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Damn that is so mine! Was going to get it anyway, but didn't know it had that extra. Is that for everyone or just for preorders?
dazzybee Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I was dead cert on the getting this, went to trade Corruption today but when I was offered £4 I thought no point.... I then thought, do I REALLY need trilogy? I've got all three games anyway! And although wiimote will add a lot I'm sure, I aint that fussed about playing them all again. I'll pick it up for the inevitable tenner in a years time!
LostOverThere Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Definitely going to get this, I, uh, haven't played Prime 1 or 2. ...Does that make me a bad person?
Guest Captain Falcon Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Definitely going to get this, I, uh, haven't played Prime 1 or 2. ...Does that make me a bad person? That depends on what possible reason you could have for not doing so given the Wii is backward compatible with all GC games...
LostOverThere Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 That depends on what possible reason you could have for not doing so given the Wii is backward compatible with all GC games... I really never got around to doing so. I completely skipped the last generation, and I still don't own a classic controller or game cube controller. After playing Metroid Prime 3 I was meaning to get around to it, but again, I just didn't.
gaggle64 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I'll check reviews but for the right price I'm very tempted by this. Didn't manage to finish the second and I certainly wouldn't mind revisiting the first, as well as obviously checking out the third.

martinist Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Never played any of the gamecube Metroids. Didn't play the Wii one either. I'll be picking this up for sure
Cube Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I'll check reviews but for the right price I'm very tempted by this. Didn't manage to finish the second and I certainly wouldn't mind revisiting the first, as well as obviously checking out the third. I don't think anyone will have anything bad to say about the game (except for perhaps Eurogamer and Edge). NGamer gave it 91%. The only reason it was so low is because most people interested in it will probably already own all three.
Ike Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Just got an e-mail from Nintendo. Apparently if your one of the first 5000 people to register the game on the Club Nintendo website, you'll get the original Metroid (NES) for free from the Virtual Console! There's some small print that says you have to have registered either MP1, 2 or 3 as well as Trilogy in order to get the free download though, so I'm not sure that means you can't get it if you didn't register the original releases.

HUH?!Oh well, I don't know what I'm complaining about, I've got the game twice.. On Metroid Prime 1 and on Metroid Zero mission if I'm not mistaking.
Ike Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Press release confirms you need to have either the of the Gamecube games or Corruption in order to qualify for the free download. 13 August 2009 – Fans eagerly awaiting the release of the ultimate first-person adventure box set, Metroid Prime Trilogy on 4 September, now have something else to be excited about, with the launch of a special European Club Nintendo promotion!

mcj metroid Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) I don't think anyone will have anything bad to say about the game (except for perhaps Eurogamer and Edge). NGamer gave it 91%. The only reason it was so low is because most people interested in it will probably already own all three. is that actually what ngamer said? Id like to think sometimes when these games are reviewed they are reviewing it as in the value for our money?... this is 3 games in one.. If a perosn has owned the game before then they dont NEED to look at a review now do they... ugh.. i swear some reviewers would complain about anything. anyway edge gave the first 2 metroid games very high i think... prime 1 def got 10... so i suppose logically the average of the 3 should be the final review score.

They did update the controls though... I don't think this sort of game should be reviewed in the traditional sense. It shouldn't be given a score, it should just be talked about, the pros and cons of the purchase should be looked at, they could maybe even talk about certain situations you might want to buy it in and ones you might not, but a score just seems inappropriate for a re-released game to me.
mcj metroid Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 he says do you want to see dark samus or phazon? well it's not really up th them anymore is it unless they're hiding something
KKOB Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 This game collection is probably the only reason why my Wii hasn't been sold yet. That and it's a great GameCube
Mokong Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I preordered this the other day, even though I own all 3 already, I'm a sucker for boxsets and it's not often you get boxsets with games, especially Nintendo games
Fused King Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Aren't these guys the ones who could give F-Zero or Star Fox their well earned boost?
Mokong Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Just watched that video, pretty cool... are there such "behind the scenes" videos on the disc aswell?
