@Heliocentric

Nintendo announced a while back that they would be releasing Wii versions of the Pikmin and Metroid Prime games with updated controls. Hopefully Nintendo won’t price them too obscenely, but the controls should work out well.

Metroid 2 is most certainly not on Virtual Console, as that would require it to have been released on a home console. Game Boy -> not VC.

Fusion is easy you bunch of people-who-are-not-going-to-suffer-from-early-onset-arthritis.

@Heliocentric: Yes, Primes 1 and 2 have subpar FPS controls. Good thing they’re not FPSes and the controls are actually very workable. Case in point: people completing the first in an hour and the second in an hour and a half. Sure, they skipped things, but they wouldn’t be able to get close if the controls were that bad.

And @Dr. Quincy and co.: ever heard of Metroid Prime 2D? I think they’re still trudging along with that, and that should be slightly less risky PC-based 2D goodness for you to enjoy if you’d like.

I do greatly enjoy the GBA Metroids. I have enjoyed the Primes, but prefer the 2d counterparts.
Zero Mission is by far my favorite, because I am a big fan of how the low percent runs can be sequence broken. I did like Fusion, but I didn’t play it three times through like I did with Zero Mission.

Got a cube for prime and pikmin. Horrible. Truely, need more finesse in my control scheme. Lovely games though. Its not rts on console that can’t be done. Its rts on analogue, the wii might be great for a well fitted title.

Metroid Prime? I love Metroid Prime. The reason I bought a Gamecube. Actually it was a bundle. Great stuff! Beat it and MP: Echoes. I even got a 100% for Echoes. Still need to do it for Prime, though.

Because of Prime I got me a GBA and Fusion. Thought I could beat it. I was so wrong. Fusion is so much more challenging than the 3D versions. I suspect the other 2D predecessors are equally difficult.

By the way I think the quasi-2D intermezzos as the powerball in Prime are just pure genius. Among many other good things that Prime does superbly.

Better to do something original inspired by Metroid than a pure remake of someone else’s wholly owned IP.

The chance of this reaching full release have been reduced significantly by releasing this demo!
Free tip: If you’re intending to do something that isn’t strictly legal – best not tell everyone about it beforehand…

@ Fenchurch: It’s on the Wii Virtual Console, I believe.
