What I meant by that comment was the ridiculousness that occured during the marathon, not the actual game itself. I actually loved the game as much as the other two parts of the series.

You can still pre-order the game and get the T-shirt and Poster at Gamestop.
I dropped by today and bought the game. They said to pick it up TOMORROW. They actually had the goodies and I took them home after I pre-ordered.

The shirt is XL

which is perfect.

So did anyone get this today?

Also, if they did from GS, what does the poster look like?

I like the horizontal one.

See the Wiimote that's for scale.

also here is the horizontal one. this isn't an actual picture but the actual art

the poster is Double sided. So you pick what side you want to show and what you want to hide

With my luck I'll probably get 2 posters and 3 t-shirts. This series is so niche, I can't imagine anyone in California being aware of this release.

broodwars · « **Reply #183 on:** August 25, 2009, 02:46:06 PM »

I just picked up my copy about an hour ago. Ooh, shiny.

I'm almost tempted to fire up my Wii and actually play it, but Arkham Asylum is calling me back...

The shirt's just as ugly as it looked in pictures months ago, though. I'm also more than a little annoyed that Nintendo didn't do what they seem to usually do and ship it out over the weekend. Then I could have just picked up my copy last night during the Arkham Asylum midnight release. Still, the set looks awesome and I'm sure I'll get to it eventually.

Nintendo doesn't do that often though. Usually just for big games like Wii Sports Resort. Most games I've bought from Nintendo ship out Monday and I get them Tuesday.

I'm actually surprised the Trilogy wasn't at E3, now that I think about it.

I'm picking up my copy in an hour, and man am I excited! I fully intend to get through Prime's Veteran mode in less time than it took Nick. LOL

Didn't they have some private event dedicated to it pre-E3?

Elixir · « **Reply #187 on:** August 25, 2009, 09:35:47 PM »

Well Gamestop decided to tell me a day after the game's release that they canceled my order. I am in a whole new realm of angry right now!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #188 on:** August 25, 2009, 10:05:06 PM »

Wow, this pack is so nice, I'm not going to open it.

Peachylala · « **Reply #189 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:39:57 AM »

Already defiled the hawt packaging, just finished the Derelict Space Station.

Retro added more hawtness to the game with medals kids. MEDALS. RE4 port job to Wii just lost it's crown to this three pack of sex in a Wii box.

TheFleece · « **Reply #190 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:54:02 AM »

I got my copy earlier today and my Wii won't play the disc- I have to send my system in for repairs :S I started playing through Super Metroid to take some of the edge off.

Got it last night, played up to Flagraah's front door. LUV IT SO MUCH.

NWR_DrewMG · « **Reply #193 on:** August 26, 2009, 03:56:14 PM »

The place I reserved through (only becuase I had a $5 credit there) still hasn't gotten the game in yet. Annoying.

AV · « **Reply #194 on:** August 26, 2009, 09:02:09 PM »

i like some subtle things they did to the game.

important scans are dark red so you can avoid the stuff you don't care about.

I also like the little female voice ' added to logbook'. pretty neat. I wish it came from the wii speaker instead of the tv speakers it gets drowned out majority of the time. having it come from wiispeaker would have been nice to make you feel more like your samus.

The widescreen display is very nice. I wonder how I played this game before .

Try orienting the wii horizontally. My wii occasionally has trouble reading discs when it is vertical, one day i tried it the other way and it worked like a charm.

Halbred · « **Reply #196 on:** August 26, 2009, 11:26:15 PM »

Vega, most things you need for the logbook are orange. Lore is red, and important structures are red. Enemies, pickups, etc. are generally orange.

With Arkham Asylum done, it seemed as good a time to plug the Wii back in, dust it off, and actually play something. So I've been replaying Metroid Prime 1, and I'm a little surprised just how much faster the game moves with the Wiimote controls. Although I've kept the lock-on feature enabled for things like boss battles and whatnot, I've been doing a lot of freehand shooting...a lot more than I did in Corruption, actually. I'm about 4-5 hours in and just acquired the Spiderball, so I think that puts me around 40-50% of the way through the game? It's been pretty fun so far, though even with the far more comfortable gunplay in the Metroid Prime games I've had to rest my wrist every once in a while to prevent massive carpal tunnel. Scanning's a lot more obnoxius than I remember, though. I had to restart the battle with the plant boss because I forgot he had 2 scans, and if I replay Prime 1 again I don't want to be focusing on scans that time. Is it just me or are the Space Pirates a lot more aggressive now? I'll enter a room and suddenly two of them will be right there in my face instead of running around trying to gun me down.

After I complete Prime 1 I don't know how much more of the trilogy I'm going to play for a while. I don't like Echoes, but Corruption might get a replay.

I picked it up. I was afriad because I played 1-2 allready, but I don't own them, number 3 I never played. I picked it up, and was very happy with the layout, the games, even the shirt, poster and box was awsome. I am glad I got it, better then what I expected. So far I am loving number 3

broodwars · « **Reply #199 on:** August 27, 2009, 09:49:07 PM »

Just a heads-up, guys: if you're trying to use a GCN guide to get all the scans and whatnot, be warned that Retro changed the names of at least a couple Pirate Data. Most of the name changes seem to be removing references to Metroid Prime in general, which is a little odd. I can't find the data that's supposed to be specifically about Metroid Prime, in fact, going by the old guides. It's supposed to be in the Elite Control, but I've scoured that room for close to 20 minutes, scanned everything, and I can't find it so maybe they moved it?

EDIT: OK, it turns out the problem is that Retro used the PAL version for the Trilogy, so several scans have new names and the Metroid Prime scan doesn't exist at all (*makes a rude gesture in Retro's general direction for the 20 minutes of wasted time looking for it*) and there are several new Research scans.
