Very nice. That used to bug me. It kind of broke up the action a bit. I own them, but think I would like to add them to my digital collection. I like to just turn on the Wii U and not have to pop a disk in.

Gamer7774146d ago

Is there an option to install the disc on onto the hardware ?

AskYourMumGaming4146d ago

No, most likely due to the small size of the Wii U's flash drive.

Gamer7774146d ago

Thanks, I ordered a physical copy of the game (for much more than the digital version lol).

Articuno764146d ago

IIRC you can install games to an external HDD can't you? Not sure as I don't own the system myself, but that's what I've heard.

Chrischi19884145d ago

Sure you can and it is a much cheaper solution, then having a 500gb harddrive build in, but I know most will deny that, because of fanboyism that is.

Concertoine4146d ago

The digital might be faster but at least you can keep the physical for life without worrying about any problems.

jholden32494146d ago

True, but considering you can still re download purchases off the Wii store from 8 years ago, with no sign of that ever stopping, and the fact Nintendo is the only one who allows cross-generational transfer of all your downloaded purchases, I'd say anyone who buys digital will have nothing to worry about.

And for only $10? I'd pay $10 just so my lazy butt doesn't have to get off the chair to pop in the disc.

Gamer7774146d ago

I personally feel no ownership over games bought digitally; so I stick with physical copies. The price difference between physical and digital copies of most on consoles isn't enough for me to switch away from disk.

Canary4145d ago

The actual Wii game disc? No.
But AskYourMumGaming is wrong, because the VC game is only 7GB; WiiU HDD's come in 16GB and 32GB flavors. So you can install the game to the primary HDD if you want.

That said, I've noticed zero performance difference between games played from the main HDD versus external HDD.

Articuno764146d ago

I've seen the loading time improvements from flash storage on a console before, having swapped my PS3 HDD for a Samsung 840 Evo. But damn! The improvement here is better than anything I've seen on the PS3.

AJBACK2FRAG4146d ago

I'm downloading the Triology as I speak!!! I already own all three but the ease of having them on my Wii U dashboard is worth double the asking price!!! Lol!!!

Canary4145d ago

You could always sell the discs for $80 online.

AJBACK2FRAG4144d ago

Lol!!!! I don't sell video games.

Sgt_Slaughter4146d ago

Having not found the Trilogy for less than $50 used or new, this is a fantastic add on for my Wii U.

Missed out on Punch-Out!! but I think I can find that cheap.

Metroid Prime 4 is vaporware at this point

Zeldafan64514d ago

That's why it got a trailer last year

PRIMORDUS514d ago

Maybe it will happen after Metroid Prime 4 launches. Put Metroid Prime 2 & 3 on Switch and Switch 2.

Metroid Prime: The Story So Far - Everything You Need To Know Before Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

"Metroid Prime Trilogy, the Wii compilation of Retro Studios' first-person take on the Metroid series, launched in North America on 24th August 2009, exactly 15 years ago.

In honour of that sparking release (well, a little less sparkling than the originals in some places due to a few missing effects), we're taking the opportunity to recap Samus' story so far in the Metroid Prime games while we wait for the fourth numbered entry..." - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife

my most anticipated game.
just started playing the Trilogy on WiiU again (love the motion controls with wiimote)
amazing series!

Neonridr649d ago

if they aren't going to remaster all 3 titles prior to 4, it would have been nice if they just gave us a bare bones Switch port of the Wii U Trilogy. Thankfully I own that so I can still replay all 3 before 4 comes along.

druwepro648d ago

all 3 titles remastered would be awesome.
i would still miss the motion controls though :(
