Can I buy it now and take advantage of the sweet price despite not owning a Wii U just yet? Kinda like with the browser version of PSN Store? I own a Wii if that's of any help...

I think you can buy the download code even if you don't have a Nintendo Network ID (I think it's to help with people gifting games)

Check the links below because I'm not certain on the details:

...You found Metroid repetitive? Metroid? No offense, but you were clearly doing something wrong. I've played nearly every metroid game, and not once did I ever find myself doing something twice.


Maybe he meant the backtracking.  Not everyone's cup of tea even though it's the backbone of a Metroid game--getting more powerful to go back and handle challenges you couldn't, before.



Wait what? I had no idea load times would be affected. That's awesome! Might actually buy this now, even though I already own the disc version.

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

I just bought a physical copy of MPT literally one week before they announced it for Wii U
Oh well, I hate digital anyway

Well the combat with most enemies is pretty repetitive: L target, strafe, double jump to dodge, and spam A or Y when you get an opening. The bosses and special enemies change things up though. But in reality all games have repetitive gameplay mechanics so the gamer can rely on a system to proceed throughout the game. So i guess his argument in the end is pretty weak anyway I think what he was trying to say is that he doesn't find the gameplay in the Prime Trilogy appealing which is understandable but unfortunate (IMO of course).

Yes, I think so.

This service should get more hard to come by classics games more accessible for mainstream gamers

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?
