Faster scanning sounds cool but I liked the tense feeling of scanning and trying to avaoid damage from enemies..

I kept hearing Rouge Leader's voice saying "Stay on target!" run through my head as I was scanning enemies and dodging at the same time.

I own the soundtrack to Prime 1, and there's a fair number of tunes that are mostly percussion and a techno instrument or two.

That is not ambiance. Ambiance would be birds chirping and babbling brooks and other such environment sounds. Not Techno instruments.

Do you not know what the term "ambient music" means? Because it's basically exactly what he's talking about.

Ambient music.

Could have let this die, but you didn't. This stuff on this site sounds nothing like Metroid Prime, at all. I tried playing a few and the music in some of them didn't even START until two or three minutes in. And As I go through the soundtracks for all of the games, I can only find some tracks that are even anything like this stuff, and most of those are like "Corridor B" or stuff that would play in hallways to transition in between areas.

And this is why I never get into real discussions of music, because the next thing that's gonna be shown is some kind of genre chart or some kind of definition of "ambient music" that somehow includes Linkin Park or Thelonious Monk or Star Wars. It's just too much useless knowledge that really isn't worth knowing. All I can rely on is my ears and to my ears Metroid Prime sounds nothing like the exemplar given.

So can this please die now?

Do you not see the irony in correcting something minor that was said nearly a week ago and that the discussion had moved on from in order to say it should die?

Deguello · « **Reply #103 on:** August 03, 2009, 10:17:31 AM »

Hey I only check these boards every once in a while, so when somebody says something like "LOL you don't know the definition of subjective music genres," directly to me I'm gonna respond.

I was in Target today and I saw a Metroid preorder display. I bet this is actually part of Nintendos trying to figure out the hardcore market gauge.

Niche at best, as always for Metroid.

It will be impossible for Nintendo to figure out the hardcorez since their moods swing with the seasons.

Winter: Mellow, but impatient.
Spring: Very Impatient.
Summer: Nerd Rage.
Fall: Very Mellow, but complain about **** on internet forums.

Just impossible.

I really hope Nintendo isn't using this release to try to figure out anything. I'm not buying this. It isn't because I don't like it, it's because I ALREADY HAVE THESE GAMES. If I didn't though I would grab this without thinking twice. So using Metroid Prime Trilogy as any sort of guage is, well, stupid. There will be segments of the hardcore market that will not buy this entirely because they have no need to.

They are using it to gauge if they can continue to release Wii-make/NPC! games and have them sell decently.

It is a test. A test to see how many times they can re-sell the same games to fanboys before they get sick of it and buy a PS360 instead and think they're too good to play any Nintendo game again, instead opting to devote hours and hours of gameplay into Madden Annual Sequel 11

Peachylala · « **Reply #112 on:** August 10, 2009, 10:23:49 PM »

Nintendo already did something like that.

It's called Super Mario Advance 1-2-3-4.

BwrJim! · « **Reply #113 on:** August 11, 2009, 12:09:38 AM »

no no no, that process was created by the evil dead creator..

How many times has Super Mario Brothers been re-released?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #116 on:** August 12, 2009, 06:53:20 PM »

Not enough.

Nintendo is figuring out a way to re-release the game to coincide with a new plastic accessory.

Don't forget solo Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet. There's also the timed version featured on the Nintendo World Championships 1990 cartridge but I don't know if it would count since it wasn't a commercial release.

It'll be a plastic shell for the Wiimote shaped like a boot, intended to release with a version of the game where you just jerk the remote upward to jump. Just calling it here.

Seriously, I'm actually kind of shocked that Nintendo's managed to restrain itself from doing such a version of the game.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #121 on:** August 13, 2009, 01:08:19 AM »

For those wondering if Metroid Prime 3 saves will transfer over to Trilogy it doesn't transfer over. Something to do with the source code being different.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #122 on:** August 13, 2009, 01:41:04 AM »

Something about Nintendo being douchebags and locking save files again.

broodwars · « **Reply #123 on:** August 13, 2009, 01:50:06 AM »

And this would be why I told my best friend to just stop playing Prime 3 once this collection got announced. I knew Nintendo wouldn't allow the old Corruption saves to transfer over, and he was nowhere near beating the game at the time (he was still in the Sky World, and didn't even know he still had the Pirate Homeworld to discover).

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #124 on:** August 13, 2009, 02:04:24 AM »

That's a good idea, it might save him the trouble of running into the Pirate Homeworld elevator glitch that ruins some save files for players.

Very painful thing, when the game came out.
