I've complained about these Nintendo GC ports in the past but this is a good deal for those who didn't get to play them before especially as it's 3 games for the price of 1 and the Prime games still hold up well graphically. The other ports i'm not so fond of as games like Pikmin(would pick up if packed with 2 but missed oppotunity) and mario tennis as they retail for full in the UK unlike the US.

I chored my way through Prime and Corruption so I've had my fill.
I still like picking up Super Metroid though and would Looooooooove
to see a fancy 2D(!!!) remake of that one;
or better yet, brand new one in 1080p on the Wii HD that's so totally coming maybe!

That brought a tear to my eye... makes me wish I still had my Wii, and I could still easily access (700 mi away) my GC collection.... Maybe I'd get up the nerve to finally beat those final bosses

I Loved Prime 1, thought Echoes was just more of the same and never played corruption but of what ive heard its no where nere as good as Metroid Prime. So ill pass on this, i think id rather bust out the origional game for GCN and play it on there. Also this better not be more then 39bucks. since you can fing prime and echoes for less then 10buck a pop. bought echoes for $7.90 late 2007(NEW) and i saw corruption already down to 15bucks at a local store that usually have full price for a looooong time on nintendo titles, twilight princes is still full price there.

Look, just do what I did. Get a Wii, being well aware that you're only buying it for a small handful of quality games. After that, damn Nintendo for their shovelware, and get back to your Playstation or Xbox, with the knowledge that eventually they will release another Metroid, Mario or Smash Bro's that will once again make the purchase worthwhile ;)

I'd rather they did a 2D scroller or third person shooter. It looks kind of boring in its current form.

Oh maaaan, hearing this music again is so nostalgic, haha. It'll be a pain, but it's probably time to break down and get the soundtracks.

I hate to admit it, but I missed these games the first time around. I played through a little bit of Metroid Prime, and it's the only one I own, so I'm pretty sure I'll be picking this up.

I have all three sitting on my shelf, but damn if this package isn't slick. Be nice if they revamped Hunters, too. It's the only Metroid I've never played.

I like how the thuds in the music in the beginning of the trailer are exactly like the thuds in the Terminator: Salvation music.

I would like to know this, and if there are any other hidden enhancements as well (like extra content).  These games are fantastic, the last you will ever see of a dying breed of games that don't hold your hand and urge you to explore.  They are the last of their kind, refugees from a 2D bygone era, and in a class of their own.  I can only hope Shadow Complex serves as a spark of revival in this action/exploration genre that now barely exists as a dying ember on the DS (see: Dawn of Sorrow).

I own the first and second games on the gamecube. Stopped at ridley on the first and didn't get very far into the second, but i'm the kind of sucker who will pick this up if it retails for under 50 bucks.

If they sell this for 50 bucks it would be the best deal since The Orange Box.

Besides not being able to use your saved game? I don't think so.

Finally a Wii game I'm extremely stoked for. Even though it's 3 games that already exist, but whatever.

It's kind of a shame that Retro won't be developing the next Metroid, but I'm glad to hear they have something else planned.

Yah well unfortunately after 1 1/2 yrs of dust collecting I decided to get rid of it to put it towards a PS3 to accommodate my 360 so I don't regret that.

I never played 3. It's probably the only game I really want to play on the Wii, and the first two being in there has a little nostalgia value, even if it was only a few years ago.

Buying this day one since I haven't played 2 yet and only rented 3. Not being able to aim was my biggest problem with Prime, hopefully the wii controls work well with the older games :).

Looks like it's time to dust off my Wii. I played Corruption when it first came out, but I never played the first two Prime games. I hear they're awesome, so I'm thrilled to get the chance to experience them behind my Wii controller.

The first one was one of my favorite games.  Loved just investigating stuff, and blowing the backs off the baby ice creatures.
