... Nintendo of America just announced plans to release all three (non-pinball) Metroid Prime games on a single Wii disc as Metroid Prime Trilogy...

Metroid Prime 1 and 2 will be enhanced with a widescreen mode and the pointer-based Wii controls... The collection will feature a "new unlockables system" that allows access to bonus artwork and other rewards based on accomplishments in all three games -- Corruption's "token" system applied to the whole series.

Trilogy will be out in North America on August 24 for $50.

Less than buying them all used.

Only because they still charge $45 for a used copy of MP3. Still, a great deal considering these are in widescreen and have the new controls. Time to sell off my copy of MP3 before it's completely worthless!

HEY I'm glad I didn't buy MP3 now!

$29.99 on gamestop.com, along with $14.99 for MP2, and $6.99 for MP1. $52, before tax and/or shipping.

$29 altogether used on amazon.com, but through different sellers, so that's $12 in shipping, equaling $41.

$26 altogether used on half.com if you're lucky, and cheaper shipping by media mail.

You're right. I was just at Gamestop a few days ago and the game I noticed was still $45 used was actually Twilight Princess.

Just checked gamestop.com and for some reason they have TWO listings for used copies of TP, one at $35 and the other at $45. (The new version is still $50.)

I just finished playing a engrish filled freeware game called Holdover. It's basically a metroidvania with no combat. You play as a girl in a school swimsuit who wakes up in the ruins of a research facility a long time after everyone else has died. She has no powers, and in fact is quite weak. The upgrades are just a higher jump, ledge grab, and a 7-levels of air capacity. Which brings me to the bulk of the game's difficulty and game itself: being barely able to get through flooded tunnels without drowning. This can be really irritating. As not only are you slow, but moving, jumping, crouching, and crawling drains your air faster. The rest of the game is avoiding security cameras with death lazers, and avoiding a few spikes. Oh and collecting all the fucking blue hearts you can to level up your lungs. Otherwise you will never escape your watery grave.

Then out of nowhere, at the end it turns into a mediocre shmup as you fly the jet that receives the SOS signal.

Overall it was fun, amazingly frustrating, but fun.

I think I'm going to tag all my works with the disclaimer "'Exposure of the blood and body' is expressed in this game."
