Even though I already own the physical release, I have brought MPT as a show of support for digital Wii releases. I had to repurpose one of my old USB pens to have enough space to download it, and it's incredibly stupid that the eShop requires you to have the space before allowing you to buy the bloody thing. Anyway, I'm all sorted.

Thank you guys, I appreciate you clearing that up.
I guess you missed Other M and how IT was the one that seemed to freeze the franchise,

This is an instant pick up. Anyone not buying these will miss out, but it's a ridiculous deal at $20 too.

They are nearly objectively some of the best games ever made--at the very least, the first one is. Sorry that's not good enough for you.
Buying, will worry about finding space for download later.
Pretty sure it does this if you buy it via the eshop then choose to send it to your Wii U

No. Zero Mission on GBA VC please.

It's not that it's "not good enough for me."
It's that it's "not what I wanted."
I realize that's just me.
I realize most others don't feel the same.

They did it to prepare everyone for Metroid Prime 4, which will be revealed at E3 2015.
Obviously.
I might just buy it and not download it. Unless you guys know of a really good deal on a hard drive, I can't really afford it right now. Car wreck over the weekend so i'm paying for a rental and have to pay the deductible on insurance to get the car fixed. All my extra money for this month and the next couple are basically gone. Especially since I just bought 2 majora 3DSes (one for me, one for my stepkid) and 2 copies of majora. Ultra in debt right now! I still have eshop credits from before, so I wouldn't be paying any more money for it, so I guess I will.

I will buy this immediately after it goes up, despite already owning it on disc.
Totally agree, why can't I browse the UK eshop and buy what I want right. I need this NOW!
I still have my original disc, so I won't be purchasing. However, I completed MP1 for the first time last year and it definitely holds up well, especially if you play on veteran and use the lock-on mechanic rather than free look (as it was meant to be played).
When I have a chunk of free time, I'll tackle MP2.

no, it's my extremly old and crappy digicam combined with it's not deactivatable flash and poor lightning conditions in the room.
I thought this was gonna release much later in the year! Great news, I´ll get it as soon as I reach home.
I had the disc trilogy but lost it before being able to complete MP2...I won´t miss this chance no matter what!
I don´t usually like first person games either, but this trilogy is one of the exceptions, you should give it a honest try, I´m sure you´ll enjoy it immensely.

Second 0, Can't wait... Please Nintendo update the NA Eshop now.
Ugh. Pretty easily. Some people like stinky cheese. Others don't. It's a matter of taste, not facts because, like enjoying cheese, enjoying how one controls a game is subjective experience. See debates about objectivity and video game reviews.

buying these games solely due to the fact that my gaemcube versions of these games runs like crap on Dolphin. Looking forward to paying $10 for some of the best games of their generation.

This will be the first thing I download to my WiiU since getting one for Christmas and I have a question about it.
If I download it to the internal memory now, can I transfer it over to an external HDD later if I want? I know Nintendo stuff is wonky with the downloadable games.

I already have the 3 games by themselves as well as the physical Trilogy, but I would still consider buying this.
I shouldn't, though.

Is the eShop online? I can't find a purchase link for this game so I can download it to the console from work.
Yes, you can transfer everything over to an external hdd.

For $10, copping without hesitation.
I really wanted the original disc version on Wii...but I'll make sure to get this just so I can play Prime 1/2.
Fantastic deal!

Not up on NA shop yet.
I have all the games separately: prime 1 and 2 for GC and Corruption for Wii. I got Prime at release and got Echoes last after beating Corruption. I played Echoes to the point where
but didn't finish. I'm kind of annoyed by that.
I'd rank them in order of how much I fancy them in the same order as they were released. IMO, Echoes is to Prime as Zelda:MM is to OoT. It's the more difficult and intricate game but the freshness of Prime and the resulting nostalgia gives it extra points in my book. Corruption had a very different atmosphere from 1 and 2 but was still a great game. It felt like the most extroverted of the trio because of the more open setting and lighter difficulty whereas the world of Echoes was an unrelentingy isolating and dark labyrinth.
I can't believe I'm tempted buy this even though I have all the games but I'm not sure if pointer controls are enough.

I went straight into two from the first one and burned myself out on it. I *want* to go back and finish two but I have no idea where I was or what I was doing and I don't wanna start again...but I kinda do. DECISIONS ARE HARD.

Yeah, when I bought the 8GB at launch I knew I was going to need an external hard drive. Honestly, since I figured 32 GB wasn't much better I figured I was going to need an external anyway. Part of the reason I went with the Basic. But anyhow, I'm no expert on the matter. This is what I bought about a year ago:

I have it connected with a Y-cable. Works fine. Not saying it's the best or the best deal, but throwing it out there as something I know works.

Now I need to figure out what to delete. REALLY wish they had a bigger HD in there. I don't want to get an external with a power supply, and I'm hesitant about thumb drives after having been burned by a shit experience on the 360.

12-20 hours each, I'd say.

I'll cosign this too, I got the 500GB version and I've had no troubles with it. You'll need the Y-cable though
First time through will probably take you 15-20 hours per game. Extra 5-10 hours to get everything.

Any* External/Desktop HDD with an external power adapter.

Here's a 2TB one for $96

Well there is also the y cable option, does take up 2 USB slots though.
