I have an original physical copy of the Prime trilogy with all content intact. But I've been seeing a rash of them in Gamestop as of two days ago. I wonder why.

I just got the powerbombs, Phazon mines best area in the game so far. Not looking forward to the boring fetch quest near the end.

Thanks, but... Hey, is it NA only? Doesn't Europe get the Trilogy for 10 Euro? I guess I can't buy a NA code and play it on a EU console?

The sale prices in all regions are £9 UK/€10 EU/$10 USA/$11 CAN/$13 AUS.  

But I think buying the download code online with the links I posted were meant for a Wii U in the US or Canada.  I might also work on NA console in another region?  I don't think it'll work on a EU console though and there is no way to buy a code online outside the NA site.


So I can't buy the game without owning a Wii U? Pity. Gonna buy it when I get a Wii U. I'm so hyped to finally get it, but don't think I can afford it at this moment It makes me sad. I want a PS4, I know it's the smart choice, but I'm much more hyped to get a Wii U And the N3DS as well. Nintendo dark magicks.

BTW. It would be crazy good if they allowed MPT to be played on the GamePad with the GCN controls.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Did you ever play the MPT games? If not, €20 is totally worth it. MP1 looks surprisingly well, even on a big screen tv.

I've played MP3: Corruption on Wii and I absolutely loved it. I know it's worth it, that's why I said I'd buy it later on either way, but would rather buy now at a lower price

I'd like to be able to play on the GamePad, as I can't always get hold of the TV and end up playing my Vita a lot, so I foresee a lot of off-tv gaming on my Wii U once I get it

Ok, MP1 and 2 are harder though! Especially 2. MP3 is more linear.

And MP1 looked gorgeous on my gamepad, too bad it's annoying to point your wii mote at it. :p

I`ve never bought or played any of the old Metroid games, so this makes me soo happy that I can finally play them... : )

While I absolutely loved playing MP3 with the WiiMote, I'd love the option to play all 3 games on GamePad with analogs GCN style. Playing with WiiMote on GamePad is absurd. I have no idea why Nintendo hasn't introduced this to all their Wii games that they bring now to eShop.
