Have Metroid Prime 1 for the Gamecube, bought the Trilogy on disc for 70€ at the end of 2012 shortly after buying my Wii U (didn't have a Wii).

I bought the Trilogy digitally for 9,99€, because I really like the convenience of just starting a game without first having to pop in the Disc, especially if I don't have to go into Wii mode first.

I'll play it in march, as I'm a little time constrained at the moment.



Platforms: Wii U, New 3DS, PS4, PC

currently playing: 
 -Yoshi's Wooly World 
 -Pokemon X
 -Fire Emblem Fates

I owned disc copies of all three, but still bought the disc version of Trilogy a while back for the improved controls and less frustrating difficulty spikes in 1 and 2.



are the pointer controls just like they were in prime 3 or did they add a bounding box like conduit, red steel2 and COD? Of all the games i just mentioned, the lack of customizable motion controls made metroid prime 3 the worst as far as controls go.

There's preset options; beginner, intermediate, advanced.



I have all three games already, but still bought the trilogy for wii u. I guess I just mainly wanted to see how the first two games played with motion control.

This digital Wii U version will recognize your old save files that are stored in the Wii mode of the console, I'm assuming...?

Yes, I think so.

It works that way for Mario Galaxy 2, so I'm assuming it would be the same here.



I own all three original copies, plus the Collector's Edition of MP Trilogy.

Now, it's safe to say I have EVERY means of playing these games!

Well it does go in to Wii mode, it just bypasses the menus and boots the game directly from storange :P 

NIntendo pretty much took a page from the softmodders handbook for this lol 



For 10 dollars, to play all three, worth it :)



Nah. No point. I used to have all three original games. Then got the Trilogy version, the good release with the metal case. Gave my original versions to a friend. No reason to buy it again, and waste the harddrive space.
