Ya I agree, the music in the Metroid Prime games is amazing. Can't wait for this to come out too.

Holy... That had to be even better than the first time I heard about the Wii itself. I want this game so bad. Especially since I just beat Metorid Prime last night...

Rumor has it that the token system from Prime 3 is coming to Prime 1 and 2 through this compilation, and that the local multiplayer for Prime 2 is awesome with Wii controls.

Yes, I'm psyched for this.

Well-played, using the Rundas theme in the vid. *laughs*

Any graphical improvements, or is this a port + new controls?

Or you can do what I did and just get the GCN version of Prime for under $10.

Final Boss Spoilers in the video!

I seriously can't wait for this. I love all the MP games, and know they're going to be even better with 3's control schemes. I'm excited to hear about the token system being in all the games, and glad to hear they kept the multiplayer in MP2. The only thing I'm NOT looking forward to is having to fight the Boost Guardian in MP2 again...

Damn that was sexy. Soooo getting this game when it comes out, since I haven't played any of the MP titles yet.

Makes me wish I didn't own all 3 games already. Also reminds me I've been wanting to replay Corruption. That game really refined the Prime formula to perfection. Just about the only complaint I have with the game is the somewhat lackluster voicework / story cutscenes. I think a greater emphasis on storytelling is a move in the right direction, but I felt that these elements lacked the polish I expected from the Prime series.

Also, now that we've seen Other M and this collection, I'm interested to see what Retro is working on these days...

I have all three already but I'm still getting it.

wait can u play the original metroid primes tho with the gc controller (if any1 knows) cuz i never played mp3 and i dunno if im gonna like teh controls

So they kept the "scan points" in the first one. Lame.

@ Cadtalfryn: Backtracking is a nasty way to label what the essence of all the games were. Full exploration and figuring out clever ways to avoid "backtracking." Also excellent use of atmosphere. I <3 Metroid.

@ Cadtalfryn and others concerned about backtracking:

I found that Corruption had much less backtracking than the previous games, mostly due to changes in the game's design involving the use of Samus' ship to move between zones. I really didn't feel like I was backtracking at all, as much as exploring. As much as I loved Prime 1 and 2, they sometimes felt a little bit like work. I didn't get that feeling from Corruption at all.

There one portion towards the end of the game that requires a bit of backtracking, but you can avoid it if you keep your eyes open throughout the game.

FACT: Metroid Prime is one of the best games of all time.

It's in my personal top 5. MP2 and MP3 are also awesome.

I wish liked these :(

For example: Prime 1. You just got the missiles after an easy, but annoying, boss fight. In the next room there is a tunnel you need to morph ball into but you dont have the ability yet. (But I got an extra tank) You go through the past half dozen rooms and blast all the doors with the missile launcher. No Morph ball. You leave that set of tunnels and eventually find another one in a previous area where you to another easy but kinda annoying boss fight for the morph ball. You go back, fighting your way through all the enemies you already killed and get back to the morph ball hole. Press X.

It wasn't that bad, but if its indicative of the rest of the game: I don't feel like I'm exploring, or adventuring with a purpose, like in Ocarina of time you kind of backtracked when you had to go learn Saria's song for the Gorons...but it was implied. I feel like in Metroid I'm kind of wandering around aimlessly, hoping I'll find the key to the next area.

"No way I'm going to buy these games again, some newer contents and maybe I'll think about it, but right now, no."

Well good for you, no one said you have to buy it, but what more could Nintendo give you? Its three great games, two of which, are being reworked with new stuff like controls, and enhanced visuals. Plus You get special collectors edition packaging, a art book and free t-shirt if you buy it at GameStop, all for only $50. So what more could Nintendo have done to make this a better offer?

We're getting a brand new Metroid game next year, so you can't complain that Nintendo's not making any new Metroid games anymore. I guess people will complain about anything, when it comes to Nintendo. What do you want, for them to pay you for it? I just can't believe people are opposed to this deal, yet no one will complain that Microsoft is charging $60 to $100 for a expansion pack with the same exact online as Halo 3. There just repackaging Halo 3's online content that most people already own, but no one gives a shit about!

@PEICanada7 (Prince Edward Isle, eh?)
The thing is people with an Xbox will buy anything with a Halo logo on it, regardless of its value for money. This thing is 50 bucks, like Metroid Prime 3, and you get 2 free retooled games, a t-shirt, art book and special casing for free.

It's almost more expensive to not buy this.

I'd buy this except I already own all 3 amazing games even though the addition of MP3's control scheme is implemented for MP1 and 2.

Still, the Metroid Prime games deserves another shot at retail.
