This is a must-buy. It's honestly tough to go back to the GC games after playing Corruption, and I've been meaning to play through the series again.

They had to use people to give us a tard version. They took out the voiceovers they added to the Japanese NPC! Metroid Prime release.

I'm sure they didn't have more than 4-5 people working on it.
The NPC parts were already done for the Japanese versions, so all they had to do was a unified title screen and achievements.

If Retro couldn't handle that and be working on something else BIG with the other 90+% of their team, then maybe Miyamoto needs to get in there and start upending desk and workstations.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping for. I mean, they made the MP2 demo in about two weeks, so I think this was more like an extremely small team completing the project over a long period of time.

Everyone wants Retro to be working on something else. Logic says they are, but who really knows?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #29 on:** May 23, 2009, 07:04:35 PM »

I don't care if Retro Studios works on something else or not, they have done a great job with the Metroid series and would be fine with them staying with it.

And since Nintendo is saving this title for the beginning of Fall, it sounds like they have no to release at the end of the year. This pony is it.

I would hold off until E3 before making such claims. I'm sure Nintendo's got more up its sleeves than ports of old games....

But they officially said they aren't working on Metroid for a while.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #32 on:** May 23, 2009, 07:40:42 PM »

I know that. I only said that it wouldn't bother me if they only worked on Metroid games.

Stogi · « **Reply #33 on:** May 23, 2009, 07:43:51 PM »

Well duh...

EDIT:

Supposedly RETRO has another project they are going to announce at E3. It isn't Metroid related.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #34 on:** May 23, 2009, 10:26:08 PM »

We all knew this was coming sooner or later. The only real surprise here is that Ian doesn't seem to be too pissed off about it... that's a major shock.

Adrock · « **Reply #35 on:** May 24, 2009, 12:42:04 AM »

Good deal considering Nintendo could have charged $30 for Prime 1 and 2 individually. Not sure I'll buy it.

Complete Fail! The only reason to include MP3 with the combo is if it was released along side of MP3.

MP1 was great! and considering I only payed 4.99 for a new copy for the GC, I gladly re-buy it.

MP2:Echos Raised the bar for game difficultly and was one of the few games ever to get difficult right. Instead of making one hit kills or just raising or lowing the attack power and heath of the enemy and yourself; the game made the AI challenging and bosses that changed their attack patterns randomly to keep you on your feet. Definitely worth multiple purchases at full price.

MP3:failure Had weak AI and bosses that all you needed to do was to stand still and unload till they dropped dead. Lintear gameplay with no more adventuring then that is found in Halo or Doom 3 (IE Open door; shoot everything that moves; open next door; and never return...). The only way I'll ever re-buy it is if Nintendo payed me and I'll then just use the disk to crap on like the last one...

Boycotted till they release separate disk for MP1 and MP2 or a MP1&2 combo disk...

jakeOSX · « **Reply #41 on:** May 26, 2009, 12:46:03 PM »

i am excited about this. see, i never finished one or two. really i tried, i played them a lot but i got distracted. so this is an excuse to go finish them. especially after the awsome that is MP3 controls.

any word/thoughts/etc about MP2 multiplayer?

Stratos · « **Reply #42 on:** May 26, 2009, 05:14:06 PM »

MP2 Multiplayer is reportedly awesome with IR control. It may be one of our only Local FPS multiplayer options since Conduit is Online Multi only.

EasyCure · « **Reply #43 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:03:50 PM »

In the talkback thread, all i said was "well ****" and i'd like to elaborate on that statement in this "official" thread.

"Well ****" it looks like i'll be rebuying all 3 of these games. I purchased 1 & 2 on the cube (like every 'hardcore' gamer should have, there was no excuse!) and got 3 at launch. I really have no problem with rebuying 1 & 2, because those games were phenomenal then, and the wii controls can only make them better in my opinion. MP3 is the one that stings though.. it's too new to rebuy already! I'm not gonna throw a fit though, since i can just trade in MP3 for this trilogy, that is unless my save data won't work for it. Now that would be the real burn, ugh!

I will NOT be selling off or trading in my original Prime 1 and 2 GC games, however. It'd be nice to have the originals around in case I was curious enough to compare the two versions back to back myself.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #44 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:29:24 PM »

I've never finished MP2, I got distracted by other games and never went back to it. Same thing happened with Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (I love the game but never bothered finishing it).

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #45 on:** July 09, 2009, 02:36:06 PM »

September 4th is the release date for Europe. Don't know if that is also for Australia as well.
North America's August 24th release can't come soon enough.

So many good games and not enough time, or money really....

If you can't wait then go buy the games individually.

Yeah...

Wii Sports Resort, then this, then The Beatles: Rock Band.... Those are my purchases for the next 3 months. Probably won't get much new for awhile after TB:RB because I will be playing that non-stop!
