Well, digital will always be faster than on disk.
I believe it will be even more noticeable between digital MPT and physical MPT, as it was a dual-layer disk

I wonder if the load time between MP3, MPT, and either game loaded onto a harddrive via Wii homebrew was ever compared. I would think the Wii U game would be pretty similar to Wii loaded to a harddrive.Well, digital will always be faster than on disk.

Anyone greeted with this message when trying to buy from the Nintendo store? I have an NNID from a 3DS but no Wii U for the record.

Verger, you should clarify along with your "purchase online" link in the OP that the $10 sale is only valid for a week, and that you do NOT even need to currently own a Wii U to get it at that price (you'll be e-mailed a download code). People are still asking about this in the thread and will continue to!

Can't wait to get home and download this! I was too young to really get into Metroid Prime when it came out, so glad I'm getting another chance!

Good man.
i've played with Wii homebrew USB loading and it's really fast.
as soon as my download finishes, i'll check how the eshop version stacks up.
The price point being only one week is made quite clear in the graphics of the OP. I've added it anyway to the link. Also added the note about the redeem code.

I would really like to know how well this game sells! But I doubt we'll ever find out.
Thanks I'll add your impressions to the OP!

I just feel like people don't even look at the images sometimes. Good job, though.
Thanks. I'll be updating the graphics in a week when the price point resets to $20. Still a damn great deal though.I just feel like people don't even look at the images sometimes. Good job, though.

Picked it up online, will download at some point in the future. Probably one of the best value propositions ever made in gaming. I am excited because I have never beaten 2 or 3.

Just a quick question, I've had my SD card in my Wii U since I transferred my Wii data over when I got it. Am I good to just take it out, but the save file on it, and pop it back in without screwing anything up?

The fact that Corruption has a lower metacritic score than Echoes shocks me. Echoes is a terrible game.

Prime 2 is great and worth giving another shot, but the world can be a bit harder to navigate thanks to the dark world/light world mechanic.
Prime 3 is also great, so give it a try even if you find that you still don't like Prime 2.
As noted in the OP by other users. Prime 2 was designed as a much more challenging game compared to Prime 1 for the core users. The level design and enemies/bosses are much more hardcore and almost crazy in some places. The morph-ball layouts are just insane too.
It's hard, but I felt great satisfaction in triumphing over it.
Unfortunately those Wii U functionalities are not available. There is a screenshot tool in the game that can be purchased using the Credits (there are game saves out there which have those credits, you can find it in the OP)

I guess you're fishing for an avatar quote?
Corruption is easily the weakest in the trilogy, but then again, none of them are terrible.
Prime 2 is an incredible game, but a very demanding one in comparison to the other two. I'd recommend replaying it if you have some time on your hands; you have to be very patient, but the good moments in that game are really good.
Prime 3 is smooth and simple fun, and you don't really need to play Prime 2 to enjoy it.

I guess Ill re-buy this for the Wii U just for the slight benefit of using a HDMI cable for video and sound. And maybe it will help get a new Metroid made if sales are strong
Metroid Prime 3 corruption is a great game, but I felt they streamlined things a bit too much.
It's in the OP.

Just played a bit of Corruption and imo the loading times have definitely improved.
No waiting at all when opening a door (so far)

I actually enjoyed Prime 2 and Corruption almost as equal as the original for different reasons.
Prime 2 was the challenge and the unique alien environments. Some of the most complex level-design and bosses in the industry.
Prime 3 added a ton of different locales and planets. Love Elysia and the Valhalla. I also didn't mind the Bounty Hunters since they weren't on screen that much. Plus I totally loved the motion controls.

As I've gotten older (27 now) I get increasingly frustrated with games that are confusing or very difficult. I used to love challenge and exploring a lot to find where to go, but recently if I'm lost in a game for 10 minutes I usually just stop playing it completely.
Would you say I should avoid this trilogy?

Odd that it took over my save files but apparently not my game and controller seetings.
It also told me that the Mii who played got deleted (which I didn't) and I had to choose a new one.
lol
hell, no
the amazing 3D map (probably the best in a videogame to date) will help you out

I'd say you should consult a walkthrough for every aspect of your gaming life.

come at me.
you could try it in easy mode. that makes things more manageable if you've never played the game
(trilogy's normal mode is easy mode since veteran is the original's normal mode)

Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 3 are very easy games. There is an optional hint system that will alert you after a certain amount of time the general area you're supposed to go next. Navigating is pretty easy with the 3D map. The scan visor often gives you hints on what to do in a given situation too.
Prime 2 is very confusing, even with hints turned on, and you should probably avoid it. For example, the maps are more confusing because two of the big areas have multiple floors and every area has an alternate map for its dark world version.

You wouldn't ever make it through the second game and maybe not through the first either.

For ten bucks, I say at least give it a shot. You can turn on Hint Mode, which pops up and tells you where to go next every so often.
It's worth noting that they're pointer controls, which are pretty fantastic for aiming and shooting. It's not piles of senseless waggle.
I think so. I got points for picking up Super Mario Galaxy 2, so I'd imagine it applies to MPT as well.
