Topic: Metroid Prime Trilogy

Fun so far, just wish for more control options....

Should I buy this? I don't like awesome games that don't allow me to use anything other than standard dual stick FPS setup.

I think you should get it anyways lol

Yep first one. And I found it...right before the boss fight. And when I didn't make it out in time i got a game over.

I'm not good at FPS' so it'll take gettign used to but so far I love this. Wonderful atmosphere.

Also, when you land on the planet you can save in your ship.

Also also, it downloaded in less than an hour. Now that's impressive for 7.6 GB! Got sidetracked by other stuff, though, but now I'll have to boot it up and check out the new controls.

Knowing the first two games were built for the Gamecube, traditional control scheme, and have it removed in favor of the motion controls is just annoying to me. What is so wrong with giving people options that Nintendo is so against it? I understand porting the first two to the Wii was to give them motion controls but still. Between my hands cramping up and my not so great wrists I wouldn't be able to enjoy the games. Would have downloaded this instantly though with a twin stick control scheme.

I wanted to buy it and download it later when I can get a hard drive, but it's not letting me buy it at all without having room. I have an 8gb so I can't make room.

Can you purchase it on the web site maybe? Not sure if it's there to purchase or not but it's worth a try.

I'm not sure I understand...Are you telling me I can purchase it on the internet from my computer, without the Wii U? If that's what you mean, how come I never knew this was a thing? And which website?
Edit: I found the website. I had no idea I could buy that way. unfortunately I don't have a debit card any more and I don't see an option to use my eshop balance. That just sucks.

Go to Nintendo.com and there should be a link. There is a select few games you can purchase and it will dl to the Wii U say if you weren't at home. If the site doesn't see the 8gig system then you might be able yo buy it if it's there.

Pre paid visa card is your friend.

I just want to use my eshop balance. I don't have any money to put on a visa right now. I spent my last few bucks on the eshop card...I feel sad now.

Got an idea, if you happen to have a random usb flash thumb laying around that's larger than 8GB you'll be able to download the game that way until you can get a external HDD and transfer it over to that.

That should work, hope she has one!

My Download Management says I've got between 25 and 33 hours left of download. Man, that's a hefty download for my poor internet, and it's wired too!

I'm throwing money at the work computer, but for some reason it's not buying it. What am I doing wrong? I've thrown, like, $50 at it so far.

Sorry for the late response I was at work. Call me old fashion but I like using a good old control without having to waggle it around. This is the same reason that Skyward Sword was a deal breaker for me too. The only game that I really enjoyed with motion controls was Star Wars the Force Unleashed and even then my hands would cramp up after not to long. Its not that I want them to get rid of the motion controls its that I just wish they had the option for other controllers.

Metroid has a lot less motion controls that Skyward Sword. It is just aiming and sometimes flicking the nunchuck. Everything else is buttons iirc

@Tasuki the Wii Remote is used for aiming not for hitting enemies like in other games. Aiming is the best use a Wii Remote can have and it works well in Metroid Prime Trilogy. Your hands can rest on your thighs, don't worry.

For anyone that is not sure, I recommend downloading these three awesome games for as little as €10. This offer will be over soon and you might regret it later.

Also didn't try yet but does MP2 multiplayer have bots? Prime Hunters did which is nice _{since no moar DS internet servers}

Metroid Prime 2's multiplayer doesn't have bots unfortunately. Really would've been nice had they changed that for Trilogy, but they didn't bother. It's pretty throw away.
