Metroid Prime Wii Collection Hits This August

that's too much, bob!

I would pay $40 for that.

Holy crap that is a fantastic deal for some sweet games!

It will also have four-player local death match which wasn't in any of the Prime games.

If you have not played any of the Prime games i must say that this is the ideal package for the ideal price, actually it is a awesome deal considering the quality of those three games and the new features.

edit: apparently there was 4 player multiplayer in Echoes but never in Corruption

How about Prime 3 with old style controls?

I always thought that type of package would be something left only to my imagination, but now I'm actually glad about this, considering I've never owned (or played enough of) the first two Prime games. Besides, 3 games for the regular price of one. That pretty much settles the deal for me.

Sweet! I was afraid I'd have to pay thirty bucks each for the first and second games each. That would add up to the price of a 360/PS3 game. AND WHO EVEN HAS ENOUGH SKRILLA FOR THAT?!!?!!

That's badass.

Definitely going to get it.

I've *heard* that Metroid Prime and Echoes will also feature native widescreen support -- a feature that was noticeably missing from the original GameCube releases -- but I've never found an official statement from Nintendo about that one way or the other.  Here's hoping...!

Wait, one disc? How the hell are they gonna do that?

Hey, it's cool that they interlink all three games with stuff. 

Beat Prime, but was disappointed that my Gamecube kicked it before I could try out the sequel.  Good to know they're still willing to sell the stuff :)

Here's a bit of gameplay from the Japanese version of Prime 1 on Wii

I personally think Metroid Prime 3 is worth $50 on it's own still, so this deal is just absolutely INCREDIBLE!

This sounds like an amazing deal though im hoping they also offer the ability to play Prime 1 and 2 with "original" controls. Since I played so many hours of prime 1 it would feel wierd to play it any other way, though im sure eventually id want to swap over to the new controls it would be nice to have a direct 1:1 contrast on how they are better.

Sweet box set also. I love the art.

That's awesome news!  I was just looking at buying those three games!

Boxset is a fan creation from long before this was announced. The official won't be so cool... And all games are on one disc (which is cool).

Cool I guess.  Even though I'm a big Nintendo fan, I couldn't get into the Prime games for some reason.

Looks like ONE HELL OF A DEAL HELLS YES...i've completed MP 1 & 2 not played 3 so prob will just get this for 3.

Awesomeness. I have played all three of them but I am going to get it anyway because the new controls should be great.

Sold

Will pick up.

Was expecting $30 for each game.

$50 is not bad at all.

Holy hell! This is awesome!

Okay, one: if you haven't played these games, you're a damn fool. But now you can rectify that terrible mistake! This package is f'n amazing. Widescreen Metroid Prime, the ultimate in control schemes for that game, and at a price I didn't think was possible. I was looking to drop 60 on Prime and Echoes by themselves, but all THREE for that price? Insanity! Madness! Awesomeness!

Two: Current play control? O, I see what you did thar.

Wow, talk about unmissable value!

When I saw the title of this story I figured we'd be looking at your typical extortionate price for a video game ($100 EASILY) but major props to Nintendo for pricing this right into the "must-buy" list of every Wii owner!

Though I did not play it, I remember hearing a lot of complaints about the extended load times in Corruption.  I could be mistaken, but I recall reading somewhere that the original two games were able to minimize that problem by virtue of the smaller optical discs of the GameCube.  I hope the they're able to maintain the impressive (and almost altogether hidden) room-to-room load times that made Metroid Prime such a technical achievement during the last generation.

This is actually a really good deal. Maybe I will actually buy it.

Wow, pretty cool deal, especially since I skipped 2 and 3. Looks like that'll be worth it.

Is this the best deal in gaming since the Orange Box? I cant think of anything since

meh

This might have been a reason for me to keep my wii sadly it came out how long after i sold it? as for that i all ready own Mp1 and 2 on gamecube and i owned the wii version why would i purchase them all over again for what is essentially wii controls i doubt they could offer any thing unlockable ondisc that i haven't all ready played, seen, or watched.
