Also jeez, I got Metroid Prime when I was in high school. Time loving flies, holy crap.

Same except I actually beat all of them and want to play 1 and 2 again, but with pointer controls. Also yeah holy poo poo Prime 1 was forever ago.

Prime 1 and RE4 were like my favorite games on the Gamecube.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is only playable with a Wiimote, right?

I'll probably buy it anyway because they'll inevitably gauge interest in a sequel how this thing does and then they go 'looks like noone cares' and I weep.

Ditto. But I can't imagine going back and playing FPS/TPS with dual-analog controls, and the Wii Remote really is the next best thing to a keyboard and mouse for those genres, so I'll be happy to replay them without having to spend $100 on that ridiculously rare collection.

MP1 was released like 14 years ago at this point... poo poo.

I just checked Wikipedia and... That game is over 12 years old!? :psyduck:

I'd say those games have held up really well! I loved Prime but chickened out and never finished Echoes. Played Corruption at a friend's house but never got to see the ending of that either, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the Trilogy on the eShop. And at half price that's amazing :swoon:

Metroid Prime trilogy ups the resolution of MP1 and 2, and adapts them for widescreen. They also add MP3's Wiimote+Nunchuck controls which own. You can target poo poo and shoot missiles around corners, it's awesome

It doesn't quite up the resolution because the GameCube is capable of 480p.

Rayman Legends is pretty collectathon. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is too, but beyond the KONG letters, there's pretty little incentive (dumbed down Smash Bros.-style trophy figurines and concept artwork.) Also, only level completion and KONG letters apply towards the 100%, and once you do something... the actual completion total jumps to 200%. WARNING.

I never did finish the first Mario Galaxy. I beat the final boss but I didn't get all the stars and unlock Luigi. Someone had said that Galaxy 2 was intended for folks who had finished the original so I never did get it. I haven't played Galaxy 1 since it came out so it should be pretty fresh to me I guess.

The second takes place in a different universe retelling the same story except not as much detail. It was intended just to bring people more Galaxy a lot of people say that it's better. If you haven't played the first you can play the second most people would recommend either.

If you aren't sick of Lego games grab some of the other ones. The new Batman one is really great, as is the Marvel one.

To add to that, the Wii Shop Channel will allow you to re-download any games you purchased including games that are no longer available for sale, such as SNES SimCity and TG-16 R-Type. As far as I know, the eShop hasn't pulled anything yet but I'm assuming it's the same.

Is there going to be a way to unlock all the MP3 stuff in Metroid Prime Trilogy? Friend vouchers aren't a thing since they shut down Wii Connect24, so are we locked out of that content forever, or what?

I just checked and there are save files on gamefaqs (ugh) that have no progress at all but all the friend vouchers you'll need.

Super Mario 3D World is based largely on level progression but the game's average level contains 3 green stars to find as well as a stamp for use on Miiverse. Additional completion is achieved by hitting the top of the flagpole in each level and if you want to see all of the game's content you eventually have to find/do all of that. It's not quite a collectathon but it might scratch the itch. It's a great game anyway and currently on sale on the eshop.

During the digital deluxe promotion I was using those red coloured pieces of paper with codes on them to accumulate points for free stuff. Now that I own treasure tracker, I have another one of those codes and I'm kind of at a loss for what to do with it or why. I tried logging into every Nintendo service I could think of and... they say the last game I registered was something on Wii years and years ago. Was I supposed to be entering those numbers in more than one place?

I don't even really remember where I was putting them in... it feels like I wasn't doing it on a website, I was doing it in the eShop somehow.

I believe you're looking for club.nintendo.com but I could be wrong.

SD card, there were also instructions on gamefaqs.

The short of it is put the file in a folder in this directory on the SD card: Private\Wii\[GameCode]\[Save File] and rename the [save file] to data.bin The [GameCode] is a thing specific to the game along with the region code, in the case of the US version for prime trilogy it is R3ME, which is in the name of the savefiles in the link from earlier. So Private\Wii\R3ME\data.bin is what you should likely have on the SD card.

Just to be clear on 3d world - the only way to detect invisible blocks (which are almost essential to getting a bunch of late-game green stars) is to play with the gamepad right?

World Star-1, the green star immediately after the animal section. Need a fire flower that you either have to bring with you or is in an invisible block. Problem is, there's absolutely no hint that I could discern where it was.

Old Mario games wouldn't give you any hints at all (outside of suspicious areas in the environment); you just had to find them. Poking them on the game pad is just easy mode.

it's postgame content designed to stretch a long game into an even longer game if you're insane enough to look for those things, so why would you expect this to be easy? SMG1+2 did the exact same thing.

Oh, you're in the bonus worlds? Those are the no-holds-barred, kid gloves off, hard stages of the game. It's to be expecting that things get even more deviously hidden.

And you said it yourself, you can always bring an appropriate power through the level with you. A hidden block with the fire flower is easy mode in and of itself.
