Well I like the mock up packaging. And I'd definitely pick up Prime I and II if they had Wii controls and 16:9 widescreen. I mean, they were two of my favorite GC games, and how could I resist playing them again? I'd hang on to my GC versions for sentimental reasons, and sell my Prime III if suc a trilogy set ever came out. Which it won't.

The packaging would force me to buy it. But, I'd still get 'em even it were just 1&2. I never beat them on GC because I started getting motion sick. But, I've been rehabilitating with my friend's Halo 3, just don't ask me to play Portal.

Post by: UncleBob on December 28, 2008, 11:21:33 AM
Absolutely. I think the GC disks could hold a max of 1.2 gb, so even if each MP game used the maximum space on a GC disk (and I doubt they did) they still should all be able to fit comfortably on a 4.7 gb Wii disc and with plenty of space left for extras. Because remember, this is about a Wii-make rather than a direct port. Obviously, the controls will need to be updated, but why should Nintendo stop there? New features, new FMV videos, improved graphics, etc. should all be added.

You're right. I'm sure re-releasing old games will be an important part of every Nintendo console from now on. :(
I don't understand why even those of you interested in Wii-makes would want a trilogy set. Don't you all already have Metroid Prime 3 for the Wii? Would you really want to be forced to buy it again just to get the Wii-makes of Prime 1 & 2? This is more something that would make sense at the end of the Wii's life, like how the PS2 has all these budget trilogy bundles and such now. But when stuff is current it's not very user friendly to bundle a previously unavailable product with one already available seperately.
All the fancy packaging in the world won't get me to buy games I already own. DOWN WITH WII-MAKES. If you want me to buy a remake it has to be such an enhancement over the original game that both the old and new are worth owning. Metroid: Zero Mission and Resident Evil on the Cube would be good examples.

If they were to remake Metroid Prime 2, they can start by making it not suck. Most of the game was either awful, boring, repetitive, and/or annoying. Spider Guardian? WTF, Retro?

Disney rereleases their movies every seven years at more than full price. That's not evil. They're timeless movies. I buy 'em.
Though you're right, I don't know how a Wii 2 would benefit the MP games. If anything, games seem to be more suited for a "Virtual Console" type approach than a remake approach...
Except for whenever either Nintendo or Square Enix rake in the money for their remakes... How DO they do it?!?!?

I don't. I also never played or owned Metroid Prime 2, so really all I'd be buying over again would be Metroid Prime 1. But having it all in one package and with motion controls and (hopefully) improved and additional content for a reasonable price would easily make it a worthy purchase for me.
The only reason I haven't got MP3 yet is it is still full priced, but I'm certain if I wait long enough I can get it cheaper. But if it came with the other 2 games, I'd definitely pay $50 for it.

You're going to be waiting a long time. Nintendo has more or less announced that they have no intention of lowering the prices on any of their games because they feel they don't have to. The games will still sell at full price. Yes, Nintendo does publicly announce the sort of stuff that other companies all do in private and that everyone assumes they all do but can never quite prove it. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Nintendo publicly announces that they're releasing remakes in place of new games because they can get away with it. And if they ever get into the habit of intentionally releasing unreliable hardware to increase sales due to people buying replacements I'm sure they'll announce that, too. ;)
But seriously though, you're screwed. There's no Player's Choice coming. The only dicount prices will be mark downs by the store itself and they aren't going to mark down a Nintendo first party title until the Wii itself is in clearance.

We're already seeing it happen. For example, BWII was $50 when it came out, but last time I checked on amazon it was only $19. If you wait long enough the same thing will happen to MP3. Regardless of what Nintendo says, the price of Wii games does drop over time. There may not be a Player's Choice per se anymore, but games do get cheaper as the demand decreases.

But Nintendo isn't supporting those price drops with price drops on their end. I don't think they're selling retailers BWii for $15, for example. In such cases, it's just a retailer having a sale, or clearing out stock.

Maybe so, but does it really matter why the price drops? Even if Nintendo doesn't support it, the point is you can get games cheaper if you wait long enough. Heck, one could consider looking in pawnshops even.

i would argue that the wii controller set up for MP1 +2 will be worth buying them again (something i meantioned a while ago). maybe i just played too many FPS on the computer, but i've never been that good with the thumb thingies. the wii controllers give you a better control and should also improve the whole experience.
also, MP2 had multi-player. wi-fi anyone?

I just read the description for the different shots/motions in Mario Casual Tennis.
It looks like the game mechanices have been re-engineered.
Mario Awesome Tennis had these typical shots (away from the net): 1. Regular Top Spin (no color) 2. Overhead Regular Top Spin (no color) 3. Strong Top Spin (orange) 4. Overhead Strong Top Spin (orange)
5. Regular Back Spin (no color) 6. Overhead Regular Back Spin (no color) 7. Strong Back Spin (blue) 8. Overhead Strong Back Spin (blue)
9. Flat (no color) 10. Overhead Flat/"Smash" (Pink)
11. Lob 12. Drop Shot
Mario Casual Tennis apparently has: 1. Strong Top Spin (orange) 2. Strong Back Spin (blue)
3. Flat (no color) 4. Overhead Flat/"Smash" (Pink)
5. Lob 6. Drop Shot
Then you have to ask: 1. How do you control serve direction? 2. Serve spin type? 3. Does the avatar act as soon as you swing (like Wii Tennis), or do they lock their feet and begin their wind-up (like Mario Awesome Tennis)? 4. How are weak/strong swings differentiated? (relates to the wind-up mechanic in the Awesome game)
OK so it looks like Mario Casual Tennis has more depth than Wii Tennis, and less than half the depth of Mario Awesome Tennis.
NO SALE.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Srsly?
They actually simplified an already simple game? It's not like the original was Street Fighter Tennis with ten+ buttons used to make a shot! I've seen "non-gamers" (my mop I hate that term!) pick up Mario Tennis and kick some ass within minutes! And I talking about Mario Tennis for N64, with the huge three-pronged monstrosity for a controller.
I was considering buying this when it gets released but if this simplification is true then I'm just going to get the original instead. Though I may still refuse to get either one as this game phails hard for excluding Toad and Birdo as playable characters.

Ah. All the more ammunition in my fight against Wii-makes. :)
One thing that's interesting about the Wii-makes is that they provide a clear comparison. Mario Kart Wii has been accused as being dumbed down for casuals. Well it's hard to prove that because it's a new game. We can only speculate on how it would have turned out if Nintendo wasn't targetting non-gamers. Maybe it would have been the same. We can compare it to past Mario Kart games but we're still only guessing.
But with Wii-makes you can EASILY prove if they dumb down the game or not because the "core" version is on the Cube. There's no speculation involved. Offering less shots in Mario Power Tennis is factual and is clearly them removing complexity and depth from the original game. Dumbing down becomes less of a conspiracy theory and more of a clear observation.
I'm wondering if some people that have been supportive of Nintendo's approach with the Wii will change their tune somewhat when they see their favourite Cube games compromised.

Seriously.
The Wii remote can detect movements in analog (as opposed to GCN digital button presses). There may simply not be a need to differentiate some of these shots because there are literally a hundred ways you can hit the ball, so the coloring is just to give the opposing player a rough idea of what's coming at them.

Exactly, Wii Sports has more depth than Mario Flower Tennis, so I can't see an amalgamation of the two through the Wii-more being anything but positive.

Mario Kart Wii has been accused as being dumbed down for casuals.
The great thing about Mario Kart Wii is that it gives you the option of having drifting be performed automatically or manually. Even better is that manual is better in most circumstances because it gives you the drift boosts.
In Mario Super Sluggers, you can have fielding and base running be performed automatically or manually. In this instance as well, manual is better because the A.I. is a bit single-minded.
This is the kind of thing I would like to see in all of Nintendo's games. Include options to customize the game to be simple or complex, possibly giving the more complex way a bonus or two because it's more difficult. This kind of thing can encourage people to become more skilled at a game; start out playing it the simple way, and after you get the hang of that switch to the more complex way. This would also allow you to play multiplayer games with people who have never played the game before and still give them a chance to win.
I hope the Mario Power Tennis Wiimake has some such option. After you learn how to hit the ball correctly in Wii Sports Tennis, there's nowhere to go from there.

Wii Pong has no drop shots or blocking. All it recognizes are a swing and 180-degree twists. Hell, to do anything there has to be a swing, which eliminates any sense in having blocking moves / drop shots since every hit is destined to be a complete stroke. On top of that, the retarded Miis move on their own, eliminating any footwork psychology that's been key to crushing any opponent since the N64 game.
This entire tragedy is like Dead Rising reduced to 5 zombies at any given moment.

Packaging the NPC Metroid Primes together is a great way to do it. Including Metroid Prime 3 kinda sucks though for anyone who wants this that already has that game. A cheaper two-pack of just the first two games would work better.
But then odds are if you have MP3 already you probably already have MP1&2 as well and if you're interested in the NPC versions, well, you obviously like buying stuff twice anyway so I guess buying MP3 again is just par for the course.
For a newcomer this is a great package though so good job NOA.
Achievments are lame. I think the goal of the game should be the complete it and the player decides what to him was an achievement. So for some beating a boss that took them 10 tries was an achievement. For others it was this cool move they pulled off or it was solving this puzzle that was driving them nuts.

That is something that was only a problem to a very small percentage of people. The majority of Wii systems (including mine) have no problem with dual-layer games (not DVDs, they are the same size but are not DVDs and yes I know I am being nitckpicky).
As for Achievements, they are optional. You are not forced to get them if you don't want.

THREE INCREDIBLE GAMES JUST GOT MORE AWESOME: METROID PRIME TRILOGY HEADS TO WII
All Three Critically Acclaimed Games Now Feature Motion Controls with Enhanced Presentation and In-Game Rewards
REDMOND, Wash., May 22, 2009 - Metroid™ Prime 3: Corruption set a new standard for first-person motion controls in video games. Now it's bringing those controls to the rest of the celebrated series, allowing players to experience the entire Metroid Prime story arc with the peerless precision of the Wii Remote™. Nintendo announces Metroid Prime Trilogy, a new premium three-game collection for the Wii™ console that bundles all three landmark Metroid Prime games onto one disc and revamps the first two installments with intuitive motion controls, wide-screen presentation and other enhancements. Metroid Prime Trilogy will be available exclusively for Wii on Aug. 24 at a suggested retail price of $49.99.
Each game maintains its original storyline and settings, but now Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes let players use their Wii Remote to aim with precision as heroine Samus Aran. Based on the breakthrough control system that debuted in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, these new Wii controls bring an entirely new level of immersion and freedom to these milestone games.
"Metroid Prime Trilogy puts the best first-person adventures all in one place, with a host of new additions that make these three timeless titles more engaging than ever," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "A great deal of care and detail has gone into Metroid Prime Trilogy, providing longtime fans with new ways to experience the games they love."
All three games now reside on a single disc. Players can access the game they want from a unified main menu that ties together all three adventures. Through a new unlockables system, players can gain access to in-game rewards such as music and artwork by accomplishing objectives across all three games.
Metroid Prime Trilogy was developed by Retro Studios and Nintendo, the same developers that created the original games for the Nintendo GameCube™ and Wii systems.
Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.

I probably should have said what else is coming out in August. Edit: FOC got a talkback thread up.

Yeah because NPC versions don't have new controls and some new features right?
Easily over 90% of the content is identical. I don't consider a "director's cut" to be a new movie, do you? This is just the videogame equivalent of DVD double dips.

Incorrect. This is more like a "special edition criterion digitally remastered series". The older James Bond DVD releases look like RawMeatCowboy compared to the remastered editions.

The difference is that movies remain in print most of the time, wheras video games do not. I can go pick up virtually any movie released on DVD within the past 15 years at my local Best Buy, but try to find a game (not called Mario Kart) that was released over a year ago, and I'm SOL.
This, and the new control scheme, is why I have no problem with Nintendo doing that, especially since I have all but given up hope for anything NEW from them that I will actually be interested in buying this year.

Exactly, my 56" widescreen is pretty small, and I sit < 10ft away from it. I'm trying to pay attention to this immersive 3D world game, and the medal popup is LARGER THAN FREAKING LIFE.
Get out of my games, please.

When was the last time that Nintendo sold a compilation via retail? The only one I can think of is Mario All Stars!

Dr. Mario/Puzzle League on the GBA probably doesn't count, and the Nintendo Puzzle Collection never came outside of Japan.

There was the Zelda GC disk but that wasn't sold individually it was bundled with Platinum Cubes for a short time.
There was that Super Mario All-Stars and Mario World game on the SNES.

The Zelda disk was also a pre-order bonus or something. Well, I have a Zelda disk of Ocarina of Time and Master Quest that I got somehow. I don't think its the one with Majora's Mask on it.

I think I got one from preordering Wind Waker and the other was from renewing my subscription with NP which was the one with the classic Zelda games on it.

Bustin98 there was 2 Zelda disk complations. When you preordered Wind Waker you got the Master Quest/OOT disk it had various GC vids on it as well.F-Zero GX,Wario World,etc.
The other one was the Zelda GC collection disk. It had Zelda 1,Zelda 2,OOT,MM and a demo of the Windwaker. Also had a retrospective.That was bundled with GC's, You could register 2 games on Nintendo's site and you could renew your subscription to NP.

Weren't Prime 1 & 2 released in a 2-disc case at one point? Or was that just Prime 1 + 2demo?
