I enjoy them for the fantastic scenery and methodical gameplay, but they don't get my heart pumping or seep into my thoughts while I go about my daily business. I enjoy them like a video game equivalent of gardening; they're a beautiful and relaxing way to throw away a few hours. That said, the Metroid Prime Trilogy isn't terribly tantalizing to me and I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. Priced equal to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption as a standalone game, the Trilogy is an obviously great deal for anyone who has missed out on any of the Prime titles. Based on the lack of compelling bonus material, I don't think the motion control alone makes this a must-own for people who've already played through every game in the series".
Nintendo had given Retro Studios the task of remastering the Metroid Prime Trilogy after the studio's unannounced music RPG was canceled.
Maybe it will happen after Metroid Prime 4 launches. Put Metroid Prime 2 & 3 on Switch and Switch 2.
"Metroid Prime Trilogy, the Wii compilation of Retro Studios' first-person take on the Metroid series, launched in North America on 24th August 2009, exactly 15 years ago.
In honour of that sparking release (well, a little less sparkling than the originals in some places due to a few missing effects), we're taking the opportunity to recap Samus' story so far in the Metroid Prime games while we wait for the fourth numbered entry..." - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife
my most anticipated game.
just started playing the Trilogy on WiiU again (love the motion controls with wiimote)
amazing series!
if they aren't going to remaster all 3 titles prior to 4, it would have been nice if they just gave us a bare bones Switch port of the Wii U Trilogy. Thankfully I own that so I can still replay all 3 before 4 comes along.
all 3 titles remastered would be awesome.
i would still miss the motion controls though :(
The Nerd Stash: "Looking to make some quick cash? Have some old Wii games lying around? Well, why not take a gander at our list of rarest Nintendo Wii games?"
"All the same, I enjoy Wii's controller setup for possibly ironic reasons. While Nintendo's advertising campaign positions the Wii as a more 'active' alternative in gaming, button-heavy single player games like these feel even more lazy when played on the system. Something about having half the controller in one hand and half in the other allows me to sprawl out on a couch the same way I would if I were doing absolutely nothing. No hooked claws gripping my controller, just one hand dead at my side with the Nunchuk, the other on my lap angling the Remote at the screen. I could probably fall asleep while doing this."
See, this reviewer actually understands how to play a game with the remote and nunchuck, lol.
I've read a bunch of reviewers talking about how they get hand cramps or tired arms by pointing at the screen. All you have to do is put your hand on your lap or on the arm rest of your chair.
Anywho, best part of the review is about FPA vs. FPS. Metroid is NOT a regular FPS, and not everyone is going to be into an FPA (the reviewer mentions just how leisurely the pace can be).
