Title: Metroid Prime Trilogy
Post by: idolminds on Friday, May 22, 2009, 10:07:45 AM: Woo! (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58752)

All 3 Metroid Prime games on one disc. MP 1 and 2 will be upgraded with the MP 3 control scheme. And the whole package is only $49.99.

God damn, I need to get a Wii soon.

I'll probably grab it. I really liked the way MP3 worked, and I love the first two. It'd be the perfect excuse to go back through them again.

This does sound cool, but I already own all 3 games, and played the hell out of them. Probably better for a new audience.

Post by: W7RE on Monday, May 25, 2009, 07:43:01 PM: The ability to look around and move at the same time, now possible thanks to the Motion Sensing Wii Remote by Nintendo (with optional Nunchuck attachment - sold seperately), could do wonders for any game played in first person. Before you know it people will be emulating it by adding look functionality to a second analog stick, a hardware feature that has been available for a while now but never used to this creative degree.

In all seriousness, I'd probably want it if I had a Wii. The lacking controls (which have sort of become a common theme for me) are what kept me from finishing Metroid Prime, or giving a shit about any other Metroid game since.
