Quick Look: Metroid Prime Trilogy

I remember getting the first Prime as a reward for collecting a certain amount of Snapple caps..

Glorious 480p! In Widescreen!

I enjoyed the primes, but  I have been wanting a full on sequal in the classic super metroid style for a long time now.  Playing Shadow Complex isnt helping my desire for it either.  It just makes me sad to know that when they actually do that then it will likely be confined to the Wii........ which I dont have and wont buy.  I havent really looked up anything on the new Team ninja metroid, but Team Ninja being involved really puts me off.  Guess I will see where things go.

Ahhhhhh. I have not beaten a single Metroid Prime game but I've played them all. I need to get this and do what I should have done years ago!

" Does it have GameCube controller support?  Or classic controller. "

Brad " Three Metroid Primes for the Wii."
 
Vinny "So, this just came..."
 
Vinny, I just came.

I'm with you, Vinny.  Scanning was great :) I liked just wandering around trying to find everything.  Made me feel like a detective or sumpin'
 
Are there alternate controls?  I'm not sure I'd like holding my hand in the air the whole time...  scanning looks like it might be more fun, though.

For the love of god, turn on advanced!!!

Wish I had money. ;_;
Metroid Prime Trilogy Endurance Run!

Yea, MP Corruption is way better than the tedious Echoes, it had some awesome levels and boss fights, the only thing that was screwed up was one point in the game devoted to a long fetch quest.

I bought the Metroid Prime GC bundle, but I never liked it very much. Just like Mario and Zelda I rather play it in 2D on a SNES or GBA. I never even liked Mario 64 or Zelda OoT that much which makes me one in a million pretty much since most people love them. Nintendo reached it's high on the SNES imo.

I'm also considering picking this up despite he fact that I already own all three games. I've been looking for a good excuse to replay the Prime series, and the motion controls coupled with the visual update and token system could very well provide that. 
 
Also, for any who haven't played though Corruption (Brad, Vinny), I'd highly reccomend doing so. I felt the addition of multiple planets to explore, the surprisingly good motion controls, its new hyper mode, the wrap-up of the Prime story, and especially this game's music all came together to make for a solid Metroid Experience that can easily hold its own against its two siblings. I still view it as one of the best reasons to own a Wii.

Metroid Prime 2 Echoes is the weakest, so boring having to retread levels numerous times...

I'm just kinda curious, what other trilogies are there? The only two that came to my mind were Halo and Gabriel Knight (which was rad.) I could be mistaken, but I think that there were ultimately three Toejam & Earl games... the original Star Wars trilogy on SNES... hmm... I can't think of anything else. "

" @eduardo:  Backtracking in a Metroid game? Blasphemy! "

" Greatest trilogy in gaming? I think so. "

Um, that was a really quick quick look.

It's like the orange box for metroid :) 
Also, in the metroid time line, the metriod prime games (including metroid prime hunter for the ds) happen first, before any of the other metroid games.

Nice work Brad.... i see what you did there too, avoiding enemies in all three games, assuring your Quicklook Survival. ;)
 
Brad Start to Death: N/A (Wuss Achievement Unlocked)

" I totally stopped after the first Metroid Prime. In fact, I never even finished the first Metroid Prime. The part at the end where you have to jump up the huge tower thingie or whatever? With the Metroids attacking you? And then you have to face off against the boss? Then you beat him and he has a second form? I tried it several times, but the whole jumping part was such a pain that I eventually realized that I had my money's worth out of the game and quit.   Yes, I'm a quitter. Oh well! I did enjoy the rest of the game a great deal though. "

Dude, Brad has basically the exact same Mii as me, but we look practically nothing alike. What's up with that?
 
Definitely plan to pick up this game though, as I've only played the original Prime. Too bad I can't afford it right now.

I'M a Metroid expert. ^^

I watched Brad's review for this on Gamespot... it was the most boring review ever.

I love pretty much all games including the metroid universe, except the 2nd.. I really got annoyed with the loading times between the two different "worlds" ..

" Does it have GameCube controller support?  Or classic controller. "

Did Brad just said that you didn't get anything out of it because it had no achievements at the time?

I got 100% on all 3 primes. I love them so much!

I passed up all Prime games because of the shitty gamecube controls. I'll be getting this next week and probably never finish any of the games. 2D Samus is my true love.
 
Please tell me there is some kind of line to follow like in Shadow Complex or Dead Space. I get so confused when backtracking in 3D.
 
I hope Other M is a poorly scrambled anagram hinting toward the return of Mother Brain.

I bought Prime 3 right around the time when it was out but didn't finish it until like two months ago. In my opinion these games are great, though a bit to similar to one another. 
 
I started on Prime 3 two times before finally, starting a third time making up my mind to finish it, I played trough it over the course of a couple of days. So having played through all three games, what is my impression? 
 
1 and 2 had better/harder final bosses, those where some sweaty palms-ass final bosses. 3 was more "oh this is it?" which was a shame seeing how it was the "conclusion" of the prime storyline.

Oh man, someone didn't play Prime 3 much if they are suprised by the visor switching.

hahaha, "normal, yea its been a whuile" like stewie in family guy. 
this looks cool, actaully worth it in my opinion

I beat the 1st and 3rd game, but I never touched Echoes because of the bad things I heard about it.  I might just have to get this although I just beat Corruption a few months ago.

I played some of the first Metroid Prime and once you got to the point you had to start backtracking, I never played the game again.

...Brad, DO NOT LOOK UP SAMUS/RIDLEY FANFICS. THERE ARE MORE THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE, AND THEY WILL SCAR YOU FOR LIFE. 
 
DO NOT TEMPT RULE 34, PEOPLE.

wow, prime 3 looks pretty sweet.
