Getting it today as I have preordered it at my local GameStop. I am very much looking forward to this game.

as soon as class let's out, ~11:00am, it's MP3 all-day. until class again at 4:00pm=death. :(

I'll be taking as pass, as I don't much care for FPS games in general.

...although I am morbidly curious about the control scheme, so there's a possibility that I'll rent it.

I'm going to wait a while, but it's a must-buy for me. I've only had my Wii about a month and I already have a lot to play, including the first two Metroid Primes that I picked up (since I never had a Gamecube). No reason to spend the $50 right now when it'll be months before I can play it.

My girlfriend pre-ordered it for me, as soon as im off work its MP3 all night. 5pm-??

I'm in today... though somewhat reluctantly.

My online order from Circuit City got backordered so I canceled it and I'm going to pick it up this morning actually. As soon as I'm done with uni classes today (around 6) I'll be playing the rest of the night.

I'm in!

Right after work. Ready to get Corrupted.

I plan to pick up in few hours.

I'm suddenly reminded of Aladdin 3 King of Thieves song at the end with the remainder of the 40 thieves.
Right I'll buy this as soon as I hit the store. Then I'll go in and buy it.

GIVE ME METROID to have and hold forever. Come on when Nintendo Power gives a game a perfect 10 it says 'own it or forever be berated by those who do'.

DUH - I am SO THERE. Pre-orderd a few weeks ago.

Still working on the final bosses in MP2:E...the last phase gets me every time.

I'll be picking it up in an hour or so. I don't play Metroid for the multiplayer. I play for its difficulty, rich background, involving plot lines, and great puzzle solving.

And @ Samfish,

It's best to consider the Metroid Prime series as a First Person Exploration game rather than shooter. While you do shoot things in a first person perspective, the games main focus is exploration and puzzle solving. I'm not big on FPS games but I love me some Metroid!!

I'm going to pick it up as soon as I finish Super Metroid.

Same thing as far as I'm concerned.

I'll be waiting. It looks like a great game, no doubt, but with classes starting back up I'm just not going to be able to play it before I head back to university (the Wii stays at my parent's house).

So I'll probably get it around christmas, when I actually have a chance to play. In the mean time, I'll be catching up on Gamecube and PC titles when I want to play something.

Just picked it up. Now somehow I have to make it through the rest of my work day until I can play this evening. D'oh!

I just don't understand how someone can own a Wii but not get this game. Oh well...

Reply

Honestly I think that I will have a rent on this game. I was going to buy it but when the news came out about no online play I decided to pass. I like Metroid but with so many shooters being online and me being an online game junkie I just don't see paying the price for a single player game.

I cant see why this game would not be on peoples shopping list. Its the first game since zelda to blow most people away and from what ive see and read online about it its going to be a classic in the making.

I picked it up yesterday out here in Seattle. I played it for about an hour on the advanced control setting. That thing is damn sensitive, you need to keep the remote centered or youll start lookin off in the wrong direction. I think it just take some time to work with it, I also sit a little off center from the screen.

trying to finish up the final chapter of RE4, but not sure i can wait. played through a few hours of super metroid, and i think that's enough. i'll be picking up mp3 on my way home from work so i think i have my evening planned. don't bother calling tonight, i won't pick up the phone.

Reply

getting it as soon as the price drops, but if it doesn't drop before Brawl comes out, then im getting both together

Reply

Think you'll be waiting a while for that price drop kpod...I'll be rushing out of work to go grab it, playing the demo at PAX was sweet, but I didn't want to ruin it too much for myself. only 8 hours to go!

Reply

Holy cow this thing controls like a dream! Best controls so far on the Wii hands down. Just like all FPS should be. Enough sensitivity settings to give everyone what they want.

I've seen a couple instances of nice graphics but the game needs anti-aliasing BAD. It does look nicer than the GC MPs though.

Just picked it up from the local Costco for $43.99. Can't wait to get home to play it...

*sigh* Unfortunately, I just picked up Super Paper Mario a couple of weeks ago so I'll need to finish that. And I still haven't made it through Zelda yet. It's going to be some time before I can justify picking up Metroid even though I was a big fan of the first GameCube game (never picked up the sequel).

Reply

Man, why oh why did they have to release it so close to BioShock? I've got at least a few more hours to put into that (by all accounts -- I have no real indicator of how far in I am right now), then I'll probably cave and get Metroid. My hopes are really high. I'm disappointed reading Metacritic. The blurbs from the reviews are positively glowing, but people basically say "This game is perfect" then give it an 85. Which is it?

Reply

My Wii is in repair with Nintendo (faulty disc drive) so I have to wait.
I gave my gamecube to a buddy, so I cant even play Prime 1 or 2 either.
I guess I can hook up the ole' SNES and give Super Metroid another go to tide me over.

Reply

Just waiting to get out of class to go pick up my pre-ordered copy.

I got it yesterday and I've played it for an hour; about to go play it some more. I *really* like the controls. Can't say much else about it since I'm not very far at all.

vidGuy, do you happen to be Canadian?

Reply

I picked up both Metroid Prime 1 and 2 on the same day a few week s ago. I'm almost done with 1.
But when i'm finished with 2 I'll get 3.

Naw, Justin, midwest USA. Glad we can bond over this great game though!

hilarious post, Mr Khan!

NVM, enjoy those games man, don't rush because they are fantastic gems that really carry on the feel from the earlier games.

Reply

I feel very ashamed as I haven't even finished Metroid Prime 1. I was really far when I quit playing, though, and I don't know why I did. That game is one of my favorite of all time. It's so immersive and amazing. I was one of those people that just scanned EVERYTHING.. I spent so many hours playing it. I really need to finish it, but I'm still gonna be playing Corruption for now.

vidGuy, I'm not Canadian either, I was just asking because you called college Uni, which I've never heard anyone not Canadian or English say. So I was just wondering.

haha, I did. It's a habit from being on internet boards since I was an early teen. Everyday language it's college, on message boards it's university! Seems to come across better with multiple nationalities represented here.

I've been kind of stuck in Metroid Month mode for several months now. Played MP through at the beginning of summer, finally bought and got about 75-80% through MP2 last month. Now I'm more than half way through Super Metroid, which I'd never played before, and I just picked up MP3 today. What do I do? Haha, it's good though to be able to play SM when I only have a few minutes.

I got it right after school, and haven't stopped playing it yet.

i got the game today!
its awsome and the controls are great! i already completed 7% of the game in veteran mode and i sent 2 friend vouchers to my friends with the wiiconect24.
