Is Metroid Prime better as a Wii game (with Wii Remote controls) or as a Game Cube game (assuming the OPs Wii is backwards compatible)?

I am asking for selfish reasons...

I think it would depend on what you are used to as well as how you play games.

I haven't played the GC version of Prime & Prime 2 so I can't give specifics but it does control well on the Wii... the interface for switching beams/visors feels a little odd at first, probably because I was used to Corruption where you can't switch beam (upgrades simply stack on top of each other) but otherwise it feels very similar to Corruption, which is arguably the best controlling FPS on Wii. (The Conduit can be customised to such a degree that it is probably the best, but somehow Nintendo seems to get the controls in most of their games to feel perfect without making you customise them)

The main thing with using Wii pointer controls versus dual-analogue for shooting games is that you have some way to steady your wrist, and in particular so that your 'at-rest' position has the pointer in the middle of the screen.


Thanks for the feedback.  I am not a fan of the Wii Remote, as I am more comfortable with using the dual analog sticks.  Just like the OP, I am trying to catch up on older Nintendo games I have missed (Metroid Prime being one of them).
