Title: New Metroid?
Post by: Dark Nemesis on February 09, 2009, 01:34:39 AM

This is from the official japanese site of the game: http://metroid.jp/

Probably a new prime game? What do you think guys?

It's just the original metroid prime and echos re-released for the wii with wii-mote controls.
this was announced ages ago.

How's it disappointing? O_o Prime 3 had amazing controls, and the idea of being able to play the original Prime and Echoes with those controls is an amazing idea!

I just hope they don't retail it at $50 for a game that's been out for this long. I mean I'd pay it cuz I'm a whore for Metroid and all, but it by no means needs to be $50. $30-40 tops.

What i meant when i was telling disappointing, is that it is not a new game in the series.

Actually, they're also making a new game, which, according to some Japanese translations, is going to be a spin-off to the Prime series. I think I also heard that it'll be a radical change, much more like the Halo tactical game than something like Hunters, i.e. with a different style of play.

Only that it's supposed to take place from the Space Pirates' perspectives.

Also, Metroid Wii-Ware.

But these are just rumors.

It says "new side story coming soon"...

hmm...

But yeah I think the idea to put Corruption's Wii-motion controls in the other two games is great; -- will only make them better -- I just hope they aren't going to charge much for them. I already bought the originals after all.

But according to that site, in Japan the first one alone will cost about $42.

I think the "Play on Wii" GCN games will cost about $30 if Mario Power Tennis and Pikmin 1 say otherwise. But, with this new side story on the site does this mean playable space pirates confirmed?

OK, here is some info about the Metroid Prime Wii remake and screenshots, along with the release date in Japan and price for Japan.

It looks like they changed Metroid Prime 1 quite a bit. There is now narration and the achievement-like system from Metroid Prime 3. Also, the Fusion suit is still in the game but, unlocked by doing something else.
