I agree, but you have to admit that the concern trolling we would see if the eShop allowed you to buy a game without having enough hard drive space would be absolutely off the charts.

Oh so that's also download size? I figured that was just install size.
Thanks!
Morph ball controls with a keyboard sound like the worst thing.

Oh, sorry. That is very likely the install size. I have no idea if the download is compressed at all.

I finished Prime 1 two years ago. I started Echoes and got about 3 hours in... two years ago.
So I figured I should just go on to Corruption, right?

Never touched this series at all. Can't wait to fix that.

I'd say give Echoes another shot first.
real talk, I like Prime 2 just as much as Prime 1. Sometimes, even more.

All good, I'm going to assume it's slightly compressed so probably 6-7 gigs download.
It'd be cool if the game would detect my prime 3 save data which I have in Wii mode.

Holy sheeet that price! Everyone who hasn't played this should buy that now!

So can I buy this online?
Recall that being a thing. I dont see a link in the OP.

Realer talk: go replay Prime, then start over Prime 2 and finish it, then go to 3.
You're in for a treat and I hope you enjoy it!

I read the OP, I can't play the game everyday or even consistently.
I've read Corruption is a more linear experience, that's what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll tackle Echoes in the summer or during a long break, Spring. (I'm a teacher)
It's only compatible with Metroid Prime Trilogy saves. They redid the whole save system since the main hub acts as a launcher for all three games.

Glad to hear some more feedback on that.
I've tried some console first-person games too - Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, etc. - and they all had the same effect on me. But hopefully the Wii's controls will help, and good to hear that others with the same issue did feel there was an improvement here.

No WiiU controllers.
You're crazy, hate pointer controls? I don't understand... but I guess I never played it on GC like many of you.

How do I check how much space I have left on a Wii U?
IIRC, the first thing you see when you go into Settings is Storage, so you can check it there.
I got halfway through Echoes, then stopped. So I'm kind of in the same situation as you. I liked Echoes, I just got completely stuck on one of the puzzles.
Eh...I think I'm going for Prime 1 again just because I have the time right now. I'll save Echoes for some gaming doldrum time where there's nothing else to play.
Completion percentages. They lead to an extra cut scene at the end I think.

Will be buying tonight, really excited for it actually.
Wii mote and nunchuck only.
I think it was settings > data management
Or maybe before you buy the game (or was it after, can't remember), it tells you how much space you need and how much you currently have.

Yeah its like "Transfer data" or something, that lets you check out how much storage you have.
Everyone needs an external HDD. There's so much good stuff on eShop now, and with Wii games getting put up, I have a feeling I'm going to be buying Wii games all year long if Nintendo keeps this up.

It's a game that takes effort to appreciate, if that makes any sense. I've played it four times, and each time my opinion on the game improved. First time I didn't even finish it, and most recently I've decided it is my favorite game of the trilogy. The world is just incredible to explore and the bosses are phenomenal.

Wait you can only buy 3DS games online from Nintendo can't you? Damn.

Prime 2's bosses are so, so good.
I'm decided to freaking finish this trilogy for once. It's been more than ten years since Metroid Prime came out and I haven't finished any entry on the trilogy. I only played halfway of the original, I've never played Echoes and Corruption just until
Playing the original Metroid Prime with motion controls is gun' be good.
the first Ridley battle when Samus and him are falling off in some kind of duct wich is damn awesome!

No, I'm pretty sure you can buy WiiU codes online too. I don't recall if Mario Galaxy or Punchout were available for purchase online though.
Someone else can confirm. If so, I'd love to get the game downloading so I can play when I get home.
Man that endgame is so intense with those bosses as well.

I already own the steel book version, but the thought of having instant access to MPT is too good to pass on. I'm so weak. D:

Shit, I have no space on my USB for this 
can the Wii U have multiple external storage drives? Or do I have to move everything over to a new one?

Or do I have to move everything over to a new one?As a pro-tip for this for people who haven't dived too deep into that game, scan the bosses multiple times. They do a lot with alternate forms in this game, and as a result, they get different scan log entires. So scan, scan, scan.
Also, DON'T ENTER THAT MAZE-LOOKING THING RIGHT AWAY UNTIL YOU SCAN THAT ROLLING BASTARD

Yeah.
There's two USB slots in the back, and... there's some on the front? Or you can just unplug one USB and plug in the other. You can definitely have up to 2 USB drives going at once.

Not sure what region you're in, but there should be a "Buy Digital" link on this page in less than twenty minutes in North America: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/NI0L4GZFgly0lMBWZGpD30Si5pLEmEHd

I'm pretty sure that the Wii U doesn't support multiple drives at once. Like, to move data, because of the proprietary file format, you have to copy from old external to internal and then over to new external. You can't just plug in two drives and copy from external 1 to external 2.

This is something I would be really interested to see the sales figures/attach rate on.
Between:
The games being so highly regarded
The general love of many people
for first-person games
The high price of the original
The comparatively cheap price of this (and even moreso at launch)
I would think this would be practically an instant buy for anyone who owns a WiiU and uses the eShop.

Thanks for this. This is what I was looking for. Didn't want to miss out on the sale price.

Would buy if it had WiiU gamepad only play. Don't care for motion controls.

Quadraxis and Dark Samus are GOAT.
It's a shame Retro declined in boss quality with the DK games.
