I'll make a less crap OP later, but Wired has incredible news. In Japan, the Wii-makes of Metroid Prime and Prime 2 were sold separately. Not a bad deal, since Prime 1+2 get the awesome Prime 3 controls.
But Nintendo of America has done us one better. The two Wiimakes AND Prime 3... on one disk.

Ho-lee shit.

But Nintendo of America has done us one better. The two Wiimakes AND Prime 3... on one disk.
From Wired:
n Japan, Nintendo has released the Metroid Prime games on Wii as part of the “New Play Control” series of enhanced GameCube titles. In the U.S., the strategy for these first-person shooters is different: They’ll be packaged together with the 2007 Wii sequel on a single disc called Metroid Prime Trilogy.
Although we’ll have to wait longer than Japanese consumers for the game, which will be available on August 24, the price tag of only $50 for all three critically-acclaimed sci-fi adventures is a much better deal.
I played the Japanese version of Metroid Prime when it shipped earlier this year, and played Metroid Prime 2 later at Nintendo’s offices. The games have been fully upgraded with all of the bells and whistles that the Wii brings — full motion control and 16:9 widescreen display being the most obvious enhancements.
But there are also some smaller upgrades. The “ball hop” — the ability to make Samus Aran’s Morph Ball form jump in the air with a quick flick of the Wiimote — has been retrofitted into both of the earlier games.
Nintendo said the games also have shorter loading times, and some mildly updated graphical effects like bloom lighting.
Badges — achievements for completing certain game objectives — have also been added in to the GameCube titles. The badges for all three games are combined in one overarching bonus menu, instead of being split up per title. This means that you can unlock the same set of bonus materials (artwork galleries, etc.) no matter which game you play.
The Metroid Prime 3 control scheme is fully replicated in each of the classic games — you can adjust the sensitivity of the cursor and turn on “Lock-On Free Aim” if you want more control over your aiming.
The only downside that I can see is that the multiplayer mode in Metroid Prime 2 hasn’t been taken online. I played a few rounds with Nintendo employees at a recent visit to their office, and it’s still far from Halo-caliber multiplayer, although it does work a lot better with pointer-style controls versus the GameCube controller.
Nintendo of America has taken its lumps from hard-core gamers as of late, and rightly so, for refusing to release many games that the Japanese and European branches do. It’s nice to see their growing autonomy used for good instead of evil, in crafting a much better deal for American gamers.

$50 for all three is a good deal too, but I have all three and a GC controller. So hmm.

I still think it's ridiculous. Just make some new games. But, I never actually owned Prime 1 or 2. So, this is a pretty sweet deal.
yeah.... I think ill pick it up now when this comes out.

All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
I would buy this even if the price was one blank check made out to my bank account, but then again I already have all 3 games.
Hurm.
I will be getting my three games together tonight so I can sell them.

I mean
that is just
WOW
wow... really? still, how would they do that? Now I'm slightly interested.
Honestly I don't think it can work, when the remote was unveiled a expected for MP3 to have crazy vertical levels and enemies that fly all over the place, but we didn't. So maybe this is the best we can get from retro and the remote for now.
Fuck you Nintendo.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I imagine it'll just play just like MP3. Which is no bad thing. They've changed all the difficulty levels up too, making the default MP1 difficulty easier but the harder level harder.

Threepio, I love you.

I, too, hope that Corruption saves can be carried over. It's not necessary as I don't plan on getting rid of Corruption, but it would be nice.
Maybe the controls will make me hate Echoes less. I end up getting so annoyed at it that I always quit at the final key hunt.
:^:
All three games fit on one disk?
AS LONG AS I DONT NEED FRIEND TOKENS TO UNLOCK CONCEPT ART!!
Wouldn't it have been smarter to only have the first two on there? The whole point of Wii Play is to get more coverage of first party GC games. Then some people who got it would go on to get Corruption, generating more sales.

Though I'm kinda dissapointed. I was hoping to get 100 club points for Prime 1 and 2 (at only $60 bucks) but I guess I'm saving $10 so I can't be too unhappy.
Those first two were just so damn frustrating to me on a GC controller.
Why would there be GC controls? None of the New Play Control titles have had it as an option to my knowledge.
