Have you tried playing Wii games on the Wii U? Output is a bit cleaner through HDMI than with the Wii's component cables. I recently played Galaxy 2 on my 50'' 1080p TV and thought it looked alright.

I don't think I should skip the 2nd game or not complete it before moving on...its in my nature to do everything in order to its entirety! 25 hours isn't too much I guess, I hate super long games lol. I've never played a Metroid game, but I own quite a few of them. Hopefully I end up enjoying this if I get it but I'm not sure yet.

I meant 1 and 3 together will likely give you over 25 hours. Each individual game will probably take you 12-20 hours for a blind playthrough, though Echoes will be the longest due to it's difficulty.

These games are so good that I'm not even mad thinking about the fact that I bought them already, paying big monies ^^ they were worth it.
You have to play them, I don't give a shit if you don't like the wiimote, try these and tell me they don't play good with that thing. Best wiimote usage of all times, best 3D level design I can think of, total masterpieces.

It's r3mp for Europe.
Better load times, that's about it.

If it helps anyone, I found that I liked the controls of 1 and 2 better once I made them more like the Gamecube versions by locking the aiming when you lock on. I think I changed something else too, but I don't remember what that was so you all read this sentence for nothing.

Nice job, OP!
Oh hell, I already own a physical copy, and yet I want to buy the digital one...

I will buy this but it's a bit disappointing bad that you can't play it on the gamepad with gamepad controls. It's probably going to look hideous on a 1080p TV :/
they edited out a swear by the admiral and changed some cutscenes.
they also removed most of the sequence breaks.
that's how the game is rendered. it will be the same here.

That's just because you have your Wii U set to a HD resolution and 480 doesn't quite go into those nicely so you get small black bars at the top and bottom. If you set your U to 480p first, which is a bit of a pain, it'll fill the screen.

All 3 for just 10 total.

I must have missed something, did they only just announce this? Metroid Prime is one of the most special games I have ever played, is this version any upgrade from the Gamecube original?
I would genuinely consider getting a Wii-U for this.

I don't know what's more important. Pumping iron after work, or wasting space pirates after work?

eShop updates on Thursday at the same time every week, 15:00 CET.
This was announced in the last direct.
And some of the changes in the Trilogy from the wiki page
Definitely worth it imo. All 3 games bundled for $10.
This re-release has pushed me to finally start Corruption again. I only ever played about two hours of it before moving on (even though I enjoyed it a lot).
It's always been a shame of mine that I never finished it, despite LOVING Prime 1 and 2. I think it's because what draws me to Metroid are the alien environments and the space station populated with humans, same as the first planet, never really gave me that thrill. But of course these are just the starting areas.
Anyway, just started Corruption again and fought a Berserkerer. I think I will stick with it this time.

A Wiimote and a nunchuck are sensible things to have as a Wii U owner anyway, mind. Might as well!
(And yes, £64 is worth it for three of the best games ever made)

Damn, and I traded in my Wii-remote and Nunchuck a few weeks ago.
I own the trilogy for Wii physically, and still have to play Corruption.
For those who couldn't get it, buy it now, for 10 dollars/euros is a great bargain. It's worth having it. Even if I haven't played all the games, the first Prime is a masterpiece and one of my favorite games of all times.
The only inconvenient I would give the game, is the compulsory use of the Wiimote + Nunchuck, no chance of using the pro or classic controller. I think they had to give the chance to the user to choose which controller to choose.

For the people who keep saying they're tempted to buy it. I mean come on, it's 10 freaking dollars for three metroid games, what do you have to lose? Not being able to buy an indie game instead?* Dispel your hesitation.
*Support indie games AFTER buying the trilogy.

Corruption has some fantastic areas to explore once you clear the first planet, which shouldn't take too long.
The only thing stopping me is the fact that I put down Metroid Prime 3 after a couple of hours because I hate using that bloody pointer in anything. But still, for £10, I might anyway just to support Metroid getting good sales.

I've been waiting 3 weeks for this to get up on the eShop. Money can't come out of my wallet fast enough.

I'm considering the double dip. Am I weak?
Good. Glad to hear it. Though it was to be expected. I think another 30 mins and I will be as fas as I had been last time.
BTW how long is Corruption for a regular playthrough, not 100%?
No. You are demonstrating exquisite taste.
If anything, the Metroid series needs support to see that fans WILL buy the next one

Why am I even considering triple dipping... Already own the three games standalone and Trilogy.
It's great that people are playing these for the first time though. All three games are fantastic.
