Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii
9.67/10 from 69 user ratings

Welcome to the official discussion thread for Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii!

To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
Just curious if anyone else picked up this set? It only being $10 for the first week is a crazy good deal. I still have the physical version, but couldn't pass this up.

Why not sign up for a (free) account?

I downloaded a save file so that I could start on Hard Mode (as I did when I originally played Metroid Prime because I let my friend borrow it and my Gamecube before I played it in exchange for him buying it for me). Not sure if you could do that on Wii U since there's no Homebrew, but I think maybe you can because you can save Wii saves on the SD card?

Do you already have the Disc version? It works off the same save files.

I can jump straight to hard mode on Prime 1 if I want to. Still deciding. I prefer to ease into games before I ramp up the difficulty.

Sure I've done it before, but it was a while ago....

Nah I never had the Trilogy on disk. So I'll have to start on normal mode? Blah. Too easy.
02/04/15, 08:55   
I thought the trilogy let you immediately start on hard?
02/04/15, 16:18   
But they're talking about downloading save files or whatever?! I guess I shall see.

I think it should be standard practice on ALL ports / remakes / etc. to unlock all difficulty modes from the start.

Hard mode just means the bosses take 20,000 shots to kill instead of 10,000, the game is already bullet-sponge hell on normal why put yourselves through that?

Nope. You can start on Veteran which is harder than Normal, but "Hyperdrive" (Hard) is unlocked after beating it once. The irony being Veteran is par for Gamecube's Normal mode, Wii Normal is actually Easy.

On 11/12 Artifacts. The one I didn't grab is the only one I remembered where it was at from the beginning in Magmoor. When I scanned that last hint I had to save and turn the game off. I was on edge.

75% of items (all Energy Tanks) and 91% on Scan Log so far with no guide. So that's pretty good.

I don't mind starting on Normal, which U guess is different from Easy. I've played these games at least two or three times each by now, so I kind of want to just roll through them.

I was wondering why the game seemed as easy as it did though. I did die and lose a lot of progress though, so I can't get too cocky. I hate that room in the mines with the Phazon on the floor, the one that you pop back into after getting the Phazon Suit. I always fall down. And in the case of the Wii version I keep forgetting which button is the Spider-Ball and which is the Boost Ball.

So is it possible to get all of the rewards with the digital version? I think I missed a few and with no Wii Connect 24, well...hmm. If not, no big. I was just curious.
02/04/15, 17:29   
I'm pretty sure in hard mode you get damaged faster too. Anyway I like the challenge. I've already beat all 3 games on the hardest modes, going back to normal would be odd.

Then again hard mode had some reallllllllly stressful moments. Maybe I don't need that stress right now anyway. I'd like the choice though.

Maybe I'm missing something here but it seems that you can't purchase something from the eShop and NOT download it. I thought you could purchase it and download it later. Maybe that feature is only on the 3DS? If I don't get an external HDD by today I'll miss out on the sale.

@Abdooooo

If you don't have space, it just won't download, will it? It's saved in your downloads and you can redownload it at any time...
02/04/15, 18:23   
@ludist210

I click Purchase and it complains saying I dont have enough room and that's it. I don't have an option to download later.

@Abdooooo
Is there another large game you can delete temporarily? I know that's a pain and maybe not worth $10 but it would be a solution.
02/04/15, 18:39   
@Abdooooo

Yeah, remove something else for now if you need to. Your saves are safe (they're a separate file).

@ludist210 I think you can find a save file online that has all that stuff in there, though I'm not sure if it would delete any of your current progress. I think you'd probably have to do that first before playing,

@PogueSquadron

Eh, not worth it. Oh well. No big deal.

If anyone else hasn't started the game and wants all the green tokens, follow the instructions here:

@VofEscaflowne

Thanks. I tried that but it doesn't try to use your current funds from your NNID account which is dumb! I have to use a CC in order to get the download code but my funds are really tight at the moment. Sigh...
