    Why should I when you obviously don't have to? Argument is worthless here anyway, like jb143 said, all the information is out there for everyone to read.

    The tech specs of the Wii have never been released, even the wiki says that. I think the games themselves say enough on how it isn't significant.

    Don't be a smartass just because you don't have a source.

    And just for the record, each generation of Nintendo consoles has had at LEAST 5 times as much power as its predecessor. Even if the guesswork people have done is right, 1.5 times more power is NOT significant enough to show much better results.

    Gamecube boards have been dissected, scratch traced and otherwise analyzed fairly well...

    I put an order in. All the close stores were out. They are backordered, but I was promised delivery between 01/07/10 and 01/22/10.

    Thnx Josh!

    I got 2 copies at Wal-Mart last Sunday via price match. I picked up one for me and one for my best friend. The cashier and the supervisor gave me the sale price but man you would have thought I was killing somebody! Quick example of how inefficient my local store is: I bought both games on the same transaction. The 1st price override prompted for a supervisor key and there was a supervisor close by so she did a key flick. The 2nd price override on the same transaction prompted for yet another key flick and the same supervisor was still standing 6 feet away. She never came back over there and a different supervisor had to walk all the way from the front of the store to turn the key the second time. Oh well, I got my games I went back in there last night and there were 2 copies left and one looked beat up. I guess a lot of people jumped on this deal this week!

    Let that be the end of it. These good people that come to the thread interested in a $20 Metroid game don't need the extra stuff.

    Make a seperate thread, if you really care. Your trolliness compels you. You know this to be true.

    I had the wife take the ad down to Walmart, and they also price matched without much of a fuss.

    Does it have to be an actual printed ad? I don't have one and I want to do that.

    In my experience, yes.

    Probably something more than this hilariously off-topic battle about whether the Wii can or can't do some graphical effect. Look at the title of this subforum - it's Daily Deals and Discounts, not "here is where you go to battle about the GC."

    I'm only providing this information in case that would disappoint somebody, or in case they simply didn't know (which is a lot of us), but not to put down the Wii or this particular incarnation of the game.

    Sheesh, I find some information that would influence my buying decision and figure it out in 5 minutes, but certain members of this Forum erupt in nerdrage over hardware. Look, the game doesn't have a couple extra effects, and some textures are downgraded. That bothers me just a little, but the game is also $20 and all are ported to the Wii.

    Now, there's a point in favor of Trilogy over the originals: In Metroid Prime Trilogy you get MP3's award system, which wasn't in the originals. On the whole it sounds like a worthwhile purchase for a Metroid completist.

    Original story in case anybody's interested.

    Also lol @ troll image.

    That's what I'm trying to say. Someone ragged on the game for having GC style graphics, but the Wii isn't really capable of doing anything significantly more. The original versions are beautiful anyway, just suck it up.

    Yeah, posting "suck it up" sure adds a lot to the discussion. Not to mention coming back to the thread just because you have an axe to grind instead of having something worthwhile to add to the discussion.

    As somebody once suggested to me, "you really ought to consider how you come off to other people."

    Too bad the post you're referring to is completely on topic. If you're one of those people who complains about MPT having GC quality graphics, yes, you do need to suck it up.
