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

I already got all the games. I want to try them out with Wii controls.

Here is the European Box Art.

Is that a paper sleve or are they not getting the metal tin at all?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #53 on:** July 15, 2009, 04:29:31 AM »

Not sure Stratos.

Well it is confirmed for Austrelia but which version is it and when.

It's a sleeve over a fancy case.

IGN just put up a new official trailer for the Trilogy, and it's fairly well-done though it definitely gave me a certain "Terminator" vibe with the opening. Man, is it wrong to think that all three Prime games still look better than most Wii games, even (and especially) the Conduit? $:-\$

I will happily pay for all three of these games again. I've been getting a hankerin' to go back and replay them, but, "Ah, ah..." I tell myself knowing I'll be able to experience gaming's finest, with new motion controls, in August. I will not sell my individual copies, I'm not giving Gamestop the pleasure, and I will happily point that out to anyone who sees these games on my shelf.

Can't. Wait.

Oh, and Echoes kicks ass, the people who don't like it are scared of difficult games. Don't know why I felt the need to mention that here, but there it is.

I really want to play the whole Metroid series in order so I preordered this yesterday. I haven't played the first two Prime games so I'm looking forward to it!

NWR_DrewMG · « **Reply #60 on:** July 22, 2009, 09:25:05 AM »

Oh man, Fleece - you're going to love them. The first Prime game is one of my all time favorites, and the second one is an immense adventure.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #61 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:31:10 AM »

Where have you been Fleece? Been a few months since I saw you.

By the time I'm done with it I'll be ready to replay the whole series with Other M!

I moved, got a girlfriend and just become unemployed. I've been around, but really playing a lot of portable games. I hope to get in on some Wifi Fight nights or Retroactive when they start up again.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #63 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:53:24 AM »

Well there is a Conduit night that I am hosting.Check the Matchmaking forum. It is likely to start on the 25th.

If I had known this sooner I would have bought Conduit over Punch Out :/ Next time I guess

Stratos · « **Reply #65 on:** July 22, 2009, 09:33:41 PM »

Yay! Fleece is back!

You moved? Does this mean you aren't doing the Pete's Basement video-cast anymore?

What Wi-Fi games do you have?

JRNN · « **Reply #66 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:20:17 PM »

Cant wait for this game to come out i didnt finish Prime 2 and Prime 1 is always fun to play again.

BwrJim! · « **Reply #67 on:** July 23, 2009, 01:36:35 AM »

I loved prime and here is a bit of trivia for ya.. the game was made in under 6 months. Everything shown at the press conference and what not was just what it was, concept. no work had started until later on.

I liked two as well, but didnt finish it. got caught up int he multiplayer of it actually. and 3, loved the ridley fight, but soon learned that 1 and 2 were being released on the wii with controls, so i put it down and I am still waiting...

broodwars · « **Reply #68 on:** July 23, 2009, 02:36:11 AM »

I didn't like Prime 2 back when it came out (it took me 3 years from the time I purchased it to the time I actually beat it, just from sheer boredom) and I doubt I'll like it any better now. The thing is, it wasn't the difficulty that really bothered me: it's that the game is ****ing boring. It tries to rip-off Link to the Past's Light World/Dark World mechanic, but Prime 2's Dark Aether isn't the least bit interesting. It's just a purple-ish version of the game area with some objects moved around, some wierd plants and poisonous goo here and there, and a constant health drain. Yeah, the game does pick up significantly once you reach the "Tron"-style area, but overall the game's just not fun to play.

Same here I started playing it but the "Light and Dark" world thing got boring after the first boss..

60fps version of the trailer, so it's slightly massive.

Zelda invented light and dark worlds.

It is the most popularized version of the theory of parallel worlds in games, certainly Nintendo's in particular. They even refer to the parallel worlds in Echoes as "light" and "dark" worlds, just as LttP did. The way the two worlds interact to impede player progress is also very similar.

Peachylala · « **Reply #73 on:** July 27, 2009, 12:13:38 AM »

By gameplay variations, yes they are kind of the same. But it terms of story and presentation, both are completely different.

Zelda invented light and dark worlds.

It invented (World A) and (World B), an overworld crossing over to another over-world. LTTP's take on it was the most invovled of the bunch. Minish Cap... depends.

The biggest mistake in MP2's implementation of the Dark world is the lack of MUSIC, the sweet nectar for your ears that affects mood.
