Blue_Ninja0 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I was wondering if they were gonna do the channel thing here too, i'm almost sure they started it much earlier in the US before release there. Same here. And it seems there's 2 exclusive videos for Europe. I got the message from Nintendo but my Wii light didn't glow though. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zell Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Just watched the videos, pretty cool stuff. But it just seems too far from the isolation of the first game that made it so great. I just hope the atmosphere doesn't suffer because of all the interation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcl91 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 hey guys, i've played the 2d metroid games, but didnt buy the prime series on the cube because i didn't like the controls of 2 analogue sticks for walking and aiming. However the wii version looks really good. Would you recomend me getting it because i haven't played the other prime games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think you should be ok...I'm playing through Prime 2 now and it refers back to events of the previous game, which is good as I had forgotten things...

Zelda_Rulez Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 You could see the endings of the first 2 on Youtube, although it's not that necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the wii version looks really good. Would you recomend me getting it because i haven't played the other prime games? Errr... Have I missed something? Were you able to controll MP like a regular FPS? At least the default controls were more Zelda-ish, where you only were able to strafe if you used the lockon button. Anyways, I bought the first Prime game, couldn't find one of those runes or whatever they were, then I ran out of space on my memorycard, so I deleted the file, started over, but now I'm just too boored. According to Gametrailers, it's got better controlls, more action and less backtracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prime games did not control like any other conventional FPS, rather it was more like an adventure viewed in first person. I would recommend getting ALL the prime games. You've been missing out.

Coolness Bears Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I downloaded the Prime 3 channel this evening and watched all the videos! It looks Great! Only two weeks to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Eurogamer has their review up... http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=85433 ...it got a 9 for those too lazy to check! Also, they say that the controls are the best for any first person console game... yet they kept it on the normal setting where you have to aim at the edges of the screen to turn and didn't even change it to expert... weirdos!

ShadowV7 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have about 5 days before I get this now, and still not started Prime 1 or 2. Been hammering through Super Metroid and Baten Kaitos Origins, I really wonder if I can complete them. Also I can't stop watching the top left video on preview channel. I watch it every few hours... I need this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyman Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I ordered this from Asda online £27.97 along with Mario Galaxy (same price). Has anybody ordered from them will I get it on day of release???? Cant wait to play and having never played Super Metroid before I'm really enjoying it on the VC. I can see a lot of code swapping for the online swapping on Metroid! - I wanna pimp my ship!: peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'm extremely lucky. I ordered some stuff from play.com today (random DVD purchase)...and noticed that I had accidentally selected my old address. I couldn't change it so I cancelled them and ordered both from Virgin Megastores. Edit: Speaking of Virgin Megastores, check their FAQ questions.

That reminds me to download the channel, since I'm at home now. :p I pre-ordered the game from gcshop (a dutch store) for about 41 euros, maybe I'll get it one day before the release form them as it happened before.

ThePigMarcher Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Scored a very respectable 9.3 in n-revolution mag (the only reviews I trust). In summary - Wonderful art , and a fantastic immersive soundtrack Absolutely perfect first-person controls. Seriously , perfect. Still feels like Prime , but better paced than before Just in case anyone is left in any doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maase Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I Wanna that game and the Wii :'( Well, does anybody has another opinion of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hunters is not a good example to show the Primes. Only the multiplayer was good. Single is much better in these. grrr that is so true it's not funny i don't like people who judge the series entirely on that one game... it's not the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ladies and gents...How the hell did Wii PLAY outsell Corruption this month in America? This is madness! http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/828/828481p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yea we've none that for a day or so now. Still shocks me though after being out all this time it's still selling a lot. I mean surely there's a lot of Wii-motes in stock now,don't they wanna save $10 towards Prime 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
