Those switches in Metroid Prime 3 where you had to jab the Wiimote back and forth (no jokes, please) to make a meter rise on-screen to eventually trigger something. The catch was that you had to keep the motion registering correctly or the meter would start to drop again, and the game has a lot of trouble deciding when you're doing it "right".

I don't remember those at all.. I remember the levelrs you had to insert, twist, pull.. one section where you use your heat-beam thingy to weld circuits, etc.. but no pumping.

TRIVIA TIME: NAME THAT MOVIE!

"Now, Ellie, you can't just throw the main switch by hand. You have to pump up the primer handle to give you a charge. It's a large, flat, and grey."

"I see it!"

"Now, under the words 'contact position,' there's a round green button that says 'push to close.' Push it."

BZZZZ BZZZZ BZZZZ

Anyway this comes out in 4 days. Who is going to get it?

Not thatguy. I've got the three originals, and all but the first are at least partly in my backlog.

I think my roommate will, though, since he doesn't have the first two.

gamestop.com has the site listed as shipping already. Hopefully they'll have it in stock tomorrow.

EasyCure · « **Reply #158 on:** August 21, 2009, 11:24:42 AM »

I'll buy it and not open it for a looong time. MP3 was the only game in the trilogy I didn't buy second-hand so I owe it to Ninty to give them my monies for the first 2, and better IMO, games

Gametrailers put up an interesting 7-minute video interview with some of the Prime Trilogy staff, where they mostly talk about aspects of the first Metroid Prime. What's especially interesting, though, is that they mention a few upgrades they've done for the Trilogy set. Most notably, they mention swapping out some textures for higher resolution ones as well as "small changes" made to a few bosses (the video immediately flashes to footage of the Boost Guardian after this), which indicates that they may have tweaked some bosses to make them a little easier.

Yeah IGN goes through the changes as well. It looks like Retro went beyond the call of duty and reworked the visuals a bit, tweaked some of the tedious bosses, added new textures/bloom lighting, along with fixing any glitches.

I beat the boss , but it was still a bitch to do and was frustrating so I agree with the idea.

Damn Nintendo releasing this the first week of college. This is such a great package, and I would love all the goodies in the package. I don't need it..................ggrrrrrr

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #163 on:** August 23, 2009, 05:18:18 AM »

I don't see how making the bosses "easier" is that bad, one of the main issues I've had with the Prime series is that boss battles take way too long and can get tedious. That isn't challenging, that is boring.

It is one of the reasons why I appreciate many of Nintendo's bosses, some can be challenging but they also don't take forever either once you know what to do. There needs to be a balance.

It's because you're not "hardcore" unless you can sympathize with this comic.

Question - Why does Club Nintendo list the Metroid Prime Trilogy under the "Intend to Buy" with "No. of Players: To be Determined"

Question: Why didn't/doesn't Club Nintendo list the Trilogy under "Intend to Buy" for me?

Maybe you already chose to Intend To Buy It and don't remember doing so?

The NWR review is up. Nick gave it a 10.

I'm surprised after the shitshow that was Echoes.

And you're the only one.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #170 on:** August 24, 2009, 12:13:41 PM »

Echoes tends to be much better in a non-marathon situation. It's a game that requires your full attention and patience. I've played through the game in that environment and it holds up much better. The marathon definitely made it seem worse than it is.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #171 on:** August 24, 2009, 01:02:30 PM »

Playing Echoes during a marathon has the side effect of giving a visor to the audience that reveals shame and weakness.

=D

Has anyone seen the 3D render of Kraid that I guess was going to be used in Metroid Prime 1 (Magmoor Caverns boss)?

I saw this earlier and was curious to know if this was actually considered or not.

Considering nearly the entire game as we know it was created in just a handful of months, I wouldn't be surprised if quite a lot of ideas were created and quickly discarded like that. No idea if it's real, though.

Most games wish they were as "bad" as Echoes.
