Nintendo's latest advertising effort for Metroid Prime 3 attempts to make a connection to another beloved franchise in the minds of Nintendo fans. And make no mistake, this ad is aimed at Nintendo fans: it's being mailed out to My Nintendo members.
In order to promote their newest "hardcore" game, Nintendo is banking on happy memories of the last one, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. They're hoping that gamers who love adventure games on Nintendo but somehow haven't decided to go pick up Metroid will do so.
Is it even possible for someone to be enough of a Nintendo fan to have registered online, but not have heard about Metroid Prime 3? E-mails don't cost anything, we guess.
Nintendo: "Hey, remember Zelda?"

They need to release Majora's Mask on the VC already; I never bought the version released for the GC.

Majora's Mask used the Ram Expansion Pak. This complicated the emulation on the GCN compilation disk.

Ocarina of Time used the vibration (...stone) to help find treasure if you had it; even though my Wavebird has the vibration, they didn't turn the flag to default "on".
So what's this extra memory thing do that is so special?

I just picked up Metroid on Mon. and was just describing it to a friend yesterday as: "Zelda on crack and in space"... and I don't say that lightly (about Zelda, crack, or space).

Agree about Majora -- honestly, if it were possible to just dump the GC code onto VC and somehow run that, I'd shell out my 10 bucks with a huge smile on my face. Hell, the could charge double if it's too big, and I'd still pay.
