    Wish I'd bought Prime Trilogy when I had the chance on the Wii. Ebay gougers are beyond the pale.

      I'm going to do a longplay of the entire trilogy, as well as F-Zero GX and Perfect Dark. A semi-sad state where I have to replay existing wares to try and ease the pain of a complete disregard by the owning company.

      Let's face it, I've got f-all else to play until Xenoblade. I'm almost put off of buying any more games...

        Take up knitting was what I took as Nintendo's message from E3 Dave.

            I was stoned out of my mind for the entirety of Prime 2.

            Good days.

              I was bored out of my mind for the entirety of Prime 2.

                Cheer up folks, Nintendo have tons of cool ideas already worked out for Metroid Prime NX: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...y-now-be-on-nx

                Series producer says WiiU screen would've been great for a Prime game, but couldn't get time/resources to make it happen: "Truth be told, making HD games takes a lot of time and resources," Tanabe concluded when asked why Nintendo had not made a Metroid Prime for Wii U. "I haven't been able to collect a team or the resources to do it."

                  Too bad I won't buy one until it hits 25m units sold.

                    Bit of an interesting statement. On the one hand its some what reassuring to know that a full on Metroid will appear at some point. But is he saying that no work of any kind has yet started on any Metroid game and that its going to take years? Or is he simply saying that if a Wii U game was started now it would take 3 years?

                    Dear god please dont tell me no work has yet started on any potential console game?

                      Doesn't sound like they've started, though it does keep adding to the NX is coming POV

                      Interesting point made on GAF. The indicator that WiiU is out of the question as they view making a new Metroid as being an expensive, large scale resource heavy HD project better suited to NX seems to pretty much confirm NX is a console right?

                      Even with more grunt, BIG projects don't tend to go handheld

                        Yep, doesn't sound like they've started but it doesn't even sound like they have a firm intention to start. More of a wouldn't it be nice sentiment.

                          The bizarrest thing in that interview, during which I suspect he might've been pissed, is the strange admission that he couldn't get team and resources for it. Also, the implication Nintendo didn't understand the resource implications of developing for their 'HD' console. WTF is going on at Ninty HQ?!

                            Or, as Superman speculates, maybe there's a proper HD console incoming...

                              You're just trolling now. Wii U was a great console, Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon were proof of that. Nintendo's decisions were the problem. Branding it "Wii U" so your average non-core gamer was confused? Losing their place in the mind of Wii owners by leaving that console with 4 releases in it's last 2+ years? Being behind the times on account systems/online? Not having a AAA title at launch? Not listening to it's customers?

                              ...I could go on and on and on but long story short: If they are bringing out NX in Nov 2016 that means Wii U had a 4 year life span which is a disgrace for such a great console and I doubt I'll be buying an NX after coming to Wii late and seeing them dump that and now seeing them dump Wii U.

                              Which is a sorry situation really since I love my Wii U but the 3DS is the single worst console I've ever used so that's no replacement and I don't really think I'll bother with a PS4 or XB1 either since I can't muster interest in those machines. Street Fighter V (assuming Yooka Laylee sees the light of day on Wii U) is the only PS4 game I truly want whereas Wii U had at least 6 games I truly wanted. Sad times.

                                The Wii U is not a great piece of hardware.
