Metroid Prime Trilogy Being Updated For the Wii, Due In August

Posted by Soulskill on from the three-for-one dept.

On Friday, Nintendo revealed that the three Metroid Prime games will be re-released on a single disc this August for the Wii. The first two, originally developed for the Gamecube, will be updated so players can "use their Wii Remote to aim with precision." 1Up had this to say of their hands-on preview: "... The heads-up display and on-screen interface elements have been completely overhauled to work more effectively with the standard Wii control setup of remote and nunchuck; swapping visors is a quick point-and-click command, and toggling weapons is similarly easy. Although the control interface isn't perfect — pressing down on the D-pad to fire missiles still grates — it makes the GameCube titles feel much faster and more fluid overall."

    ... of making me buy the same shit over and over again. How do they do it? Damn you, Nintendo!

      The worst bit of it, is they make me think I ENJOY buying the same games over and over! How many times have I bought Super Mario Bros? NES, SNES, GBC, GBA, Wii (actually, twice on the Wii, since I have two).

      I'm still not sure how they've managed to get me to buy the same game around five times, and enjoy it and look forward to more (SMB DS!). This feels like an abusive relationship. :(

    Just switch to ogg, I've found its playback to be much much smoother.

    No, but you won't be able to aim very well.
