Nintendo's porting team has vapor for brains.


fake edit: Finally playing the trilogy version of Prime 1. Did they add in Spring Ball for the Wii release or was that always there?

they added it to 1 and 2 for trilogy. spring ball is the best thing ever and that + boost ball means you can travel through the overworlds a LOT faster

Is there anything special about Metroid Prime Trilogy in particular or is it just a straight up port?

I haven't gotten metroid prime 3 so I'm going to get it but I prefer the gamecube controller so if 1/2 are just ports I'd rather play the gamecube version of those again.

- if you get the eshop version that came out, the loading times on all 3 games is practically non-existant, you can notice this by how long doors take to open when shot.

- the motion pointer controls from 3 get added to 1 and 2, which is actually a godsend that makes shooting easier. you can take cover and shoot missiles/wavebeam shots that curve around the cover.

- metroid prime 1 and 2 retroactively get the morphball jump from prime 3 where jerking the remote upward makes the morphball jump. this is super-hella useful and will make travel/bombjumping hella easy.

Im playing this game right now for the first time and its real good but the combat is pointless; it's easier to just run past them and the enemies always respawn in the same places

thats what i mostly do, but theres definitely some spots that are harder to pass when you don't kill them (sheegoths ugh)
