Metroid Prime Trilogy Available on Wii U eShop For $10

Hardcore Gamer: The moment that budget-minded Wii lovers have been waiting for has finally arrived. While the $10 price tag on Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Punch-Out! was great, nothing compared to getting the Metroid Prime Trilogy for $10.

Just picked up my copy. Haven't played it before, so this will be sweet indeed!! :)

For $11 (Canada) and the reviews/comments I've seen, this is an unbeatable deal.

browngamer413394d ago

Same here-while I have played each game by themselves I've yet to play trilogy, this game was going upwards of two to three hundred dollars a few weeks back-to get it for a tenner has to be one of the most amazing deals in gaming right now!

Locknuts3394d ago

OMG you're in for a treat. The first game is my favourite game of all time. It's phenomenal.

alphaomega883394d ago

Agreed...the first Metroid Prime is also my all time #1 favorite game, just absolutely amazing :)

BoriboyShoGUN3394d ago

Really gotta pick up a Wii U. I have the Wii But played it like twice, but the Wii U looks awesome.
And I can't get enough of Metroid!!!!!

kwandar3394d ago (Edited 3394d ago )

We had a Wii, but fell into disuse with the PS3. Nice thing though, all your games run on Wii U, has probably the BEST GAMES at the moment, all your Wii controllers work on it and they have some seriously great game deals.

The PS3 rarely gets used anymore to the point I'd like to get another Wii U, if they stopped tying the Nintendo ID to specific hardware.

Pick up an 8GB if you can get it cheaper, along with a USB HD if you don't already own one.

Get it this week while you can pick up Metroid cheap :)

@kwandar

What controls can I use to play them? I don't like Wiimote, I prefer regular controls.

kwandar3394d ago

Wiimote and Nunchuck. Not generally my favourite but in playing a bit of the first game, they work surprisingly well.

ValKilmer3394d ago

Wow, so much amazing gaming for $10.

randomass1713394d ago

A trilogy so it's like a three pack of $3.33 games? That's stupid cheap compared to what they go for individually lol.

GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME3394d ago

but...i just bought the wii version... it was expensive....

alphaomega883394d ago (Edited 3394d ago )

I am about to do the same but the collectors edition bc I never got it, as well as SMG2 and Punch-Out!...I just prefer physical copies of games.

xwilldemise3394d ago

Wait so to be clear this is kinky compatible with motion controls? There's no way I can play the trilogy with the gamepad or a classic controller?

Slappy McGee3394d ago

You have to have a Wii remote and nun-chuck.

superchiller3394d ago

No, you have to use the waggle controls to play it, unfortunately. :(

xwilldemise3394d ago

Damn not even for the first two games?( which I played with a GC controller back then!) =\ well time to search around to try to find that damn nunchuck

jholden32493394d ago

No you don't. There is no "waggle" in Metroid Prime Trilogy. Only top grade motion controls that work, in fact this might be the greatest example for motion controls superiority to date.

marloc_x3394d ago

Wonder if Move waggles might be compatible..

Metroid Prime Remastered is Great, But a Trilogy Collection Would have Been Better

Players jumping into the series before Metroid Prime 4 releases need access to the entire trilogy on the Switch, not just Metroid Prime Remastered.

Imagine Metroid Prime using UE 5?, thank you Nintendo you are ossummm! :D

badz149459d ago

you want them to melt all the Switch worldwide?

PhillyDillyDee460d ago

Theyre gonna pull some BS, just watch. Im betting 1 and 2 will be sold individually then 3 will be a part of a trilogy pack.

Petebloodyonion460d ago

I don't know why everybody is praising Nintendo for remastering Prime1 when they became silent radio on Prime4.
As much as I can see the game looking better it's still played exactly like the Metroid prime 1 on Gamecube or the Trilogy version that I also own on Wiiu (It's the Wii version but it was made a Wiiu title)

--Onilink--460d ago

Because its a great remaster? And actually reasonably priced against all odds?

I dont need them to be telling me every six months that Prime 4 is still coming. They are developing the game and will show more details when its ready, simple as that.

I have no problems with Nintendo not showing it yet if they still don’t want to

jambola460d ago

it's 40
I've seen better remastered trilogies for roughly the same, hell I've seen collections 5 times bigger for half the price

Petebloodyonion460d ago

and they released the COMPLETE trilogy on Wii-u for 20$
https://www.gamespot.com/ar...

--Onilink--460d ago

@pete

And that was still the Wii version, with literally no WiiU enhancements whatsoever…

I 100% prefer a remaster of the level we got at $40 than just a simple upres port of the trilogy at $60 like it has happened with basically every other Nintendo remaster so far, or even worse for them to release a Wii port for $20 with no enhancements

Not to mention this is clearly part of the work Retro is doing graphically for Prime 4

Tacoboto460d ago

That's not accurate on either part. The Wii U "title" is only just the Wii version - motion controls and 480p only. This version is the first version with dual-stick controls so that alone makes the feel of this different than either version 10 or 20 years ago.

Petebloodyonion460d ago

Yes like I said the Wii u is the Wii version but was billed as a Wiiu game the point it appears straight into the Wii-u Menu and not the Wii one like the Wii game but it is essentially the Wii Trilogy offered at a discount price at the time with remote controls.

PhillyDillyDee460d ago

As much as you can see? Guess you missed the part about modernized controls. I also saw a video that showed off an updated soundtrack.

Petebloodyonion460d ago

Ok they modernized control... update the music basically exactly what they did with the Wii trilogy (that supported motion control-like corruption)
My point isn't that the game is fined tune but the fact that ppl celebrate Nintendo for not delivering something that was a major announcement in 2017.
How would ppl feel if Sony was announcing Uncharted 5 and after 6 years they would release a remaster of the 1st Uncharted or if the upcoming Perfect Dark by MS is ... the remaster of the 1st one so you can still wait.

Heck I can already see the Xbox has no game or can't make a game comment flooding in

And also you know that they didn't made the trilogy so they can release the others game later on.

Neonridr460d ago

and TLOU on PS5 plays exactly the same as it does on PS4. What's your point? A great game deserves to be enjoyed by a larger audience.

Petebloodyonion460d ago (Edited 460d ago )

and the majority of the crowd dissed Sony for basically remastering a Ps4 titles
how many reviews gave it a great score but mentioned that the price was too high?
Heck, go see Angry joe review it's the perfect satire where he basically goes fetch the review of the Ps4 changes some filters, renames the file name to Tlou part 1, and press play.
Also, did NaughtyDog announce Tlou3 Part 5 years ago?

Again my issue isn't that they remaster a great game it's the fact that they are giving a middle finger to fans of the actual trilogy (ppl like me who basically own all previous versions) while saying get ready for parts 2 and 3 before the damn part 4.

And let's be clear if Microsoft would have put that crappy move with a 40$ Remake of Halo1 instead of Infinite
the negative comments would have flooded this thread.
Heck just wonder what would happen if MS release a Perfect Dark remaster instead of the new one?

Tacoboto459d ago

What are you on, Pete?

Halo CE already got remade, in 2011. Then it got re-released again as part of MCC in 2014. It's still getting updated. Nintendo hasn't said anything about remakes of Prime 2 or 3. The only TLOU being officially worked on is Factions and Part 1 PC.

What you're saying here is wrong, your initial post is wrong, and all of your follow ups have been wrong.

jambola460d ago

but that would be expected to cost less and nintendo doesn't like things costing less
especially when people keep supporting that anyway

Profchaos460d ago

Metroid fans for years: "we want prime remastered."

Metroid fans after getting what they want: "yeah.... It's ok but where's the rest"

Rage77460d ago

Notice that the people bitchin aren't the "Nintendo Fans".
That age old myth of "Crazed, Zealot acting Nintendo fans" is a construct from years of trolling coming from
"opposite camp fans".
Most of the people you see complaining here arent true Nintendo fans, they are low key "imposters" that fake
"concern", because "they care" when in reality you only see praising only what others do but Nintendo in teir eyes can only do wrong...its gotten old and it didnt work against the Switch's success and it probably never will.
In the meantime, i prefer to enjoy stuff instead of being day in and day out "disapointed" in the stuff i dont care about. Would it had been nice to have all 3? Sure, does it make this one less great? Abso-F&^in-lutely NOT. :)

jambola460d ago

Lol
"Not true Nintendo fans" ok

jambola460d ago

It's almost like there are a variety of people on the internet with varying opinions
Crazy

Rage77460d ago

Ah yes, There are in fact many with varied opinions and that in itself is a great thing to have, what is not so great is the people who either try to either force their opinions on to you, or try to guilt you into either feeling bad or dumb for not conforming to their opinion. Or as an alternative those who dont have a valid argument and resort to either belittling others or going for low petty insults to puff their egos online.
I personally care for none of the examples above, but have seen a lot of it happen for many years now.
I stick to being around peeps who enjoy the medium (video games) and dont feel the need to crap over somebody else's enjoyment.
