Accodring to a interview with some retro peeps on a gametrailers feature they didn't just alter the interface to suit Wii/Prime 3 controls but have upped the graphics here and there throughout the entire game(s).

The also state they have tweaked some boss fights so they are better. No details how.

You mean the video sc posted right?

great review. In my opinion, the best game(s) on the wii. Metroid Prime alone is the best nintendo game since OoT.

I only played MP3, but I didn't really enjoy it. I'm still not sure if I should buy the trilogy..

Now they need to release Zero Mission, Return of Samus, Super Metroid, and Fusion on the DS and all will be right with the world.

I only played MP3 so this is great. I'm going to pre-order this. Too bad its gonna take some time to get released over here.

I'll be picking this up in the next few months. I loved all three Prime games, and even though I've done them multiple times and got 100%, I really want to experience them all again.

IGN Ratings for Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii)

Rating
out of 10
10	Presentation All three games scored 10s for presentation and nothing has changed, including the horsepower between GameCube and Wii. The entire series is still slicker in every regard than most Wii titles.
9.0	Graphics Amazing. The first time you see the snow falling in Phendrana Drift, your jaw will drop. Retro's art and tech combine for an amazing visual experience.
9.0	Sound Moody and ambient throughout. Some of the voice acting in Corruption could be a little tighter, but otherwise your ears will be happy.
10	Gameplay Absolutely incredible. The very essence of the 2D Metroid games reborn in 3D. With the new controls, you won't want to put your Wii remote down.
10	Lasting Appeal More than 80 hours of some of the best interactive adventuring that money can buy. For the price of a regular Wii game.
9.5 Incredible	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

It really says alot about the Wii when a game that was originally released nearly 7 years ago looks good enough to warrant a 9 in the visuals department.

That being said, this is an excellent package, and if I didn't already own all three games, I'd definitely be picking this up. I might even give it a rental to see how the new motion controls work in the original Prime, one of the best games of last gen and definitely best of all time.

What? I can understand being sad not many Wii games look better than that, but scoing a 9 just means the game looks good on its own or at least that's what it should be. Super Mario Bros 3 is nearly 20 years old, and it still deserves a 9 for graphics (and it is on the VC).
