The Nintendo Channel is a Wii only thing correct. This isn't available in any form for the DSi right?

Honestly, I think I'll pass on this one. I own MP and MP3. I've played through MP2 while the game is okay, I thought it just tedious at some (most) points and the difficulty was ramped up significantly to be frustrating at times.

I already own all 3 Prime games separately and to be honest I prefer the gamecube controls. Probably won't pick up the Trilogy but it's great for people new to the series.
The video was interesting though. Nintendo have always seemed to be really secretive about the development of games they publish to me so it's always interesting to hear things like this.

You get a t-shirt, tin, an art book, and it even comes with a couple of games when you pre-order this!

YES MY PICTURE HAS SHOWN UP.
Actually, now that I see it it's not THAT great.

It's less hate and more mild contempt, really. :D

first off i would just like to say that i am so PUMPED for the trilogy! i already pre-ordered it and cannot wait till get my grubby mitts on it! although i do hope that the shirt won't be 3XL as i have heard people receiving sjirts that large and gamestop not having smaller size's. anyway on to what i was going to initially say. I'm really glad to hear that retro is listening t their fan's. that's what i (and, of course, many other fan's of the metroid series i'm sure) love to hear from a development studio. don't make a game because it is popular and you just wanna make a quick buck. if a game is made only to make a quick buck then you'll be doing a half assed job. make a game because fan's of the series ask for it and when making the game put on your thinking cap's. anyway sorry for being a motor mouth guy's. it's a bad habit. lol

I'll pay you 400 quatloos if the t-shirt is any size smaller.

day one, no question. trilogy will be in my wii for some time to come very soon.
it's sounding like there's quite a few things that have been getting tweaked. i haven't been this pumped for a game since...well......3.
can't wait!

I already own all the Primes for their respective systems but i loved the controls on Corruption so this is a day one purchase for me. Echos was my least favorite of the series as it was far to linear and i still havent beaten Dark Samus yet i always run out of time :(

Could someone please tell me the name of the track that is playing in this video?

Sounds like they went through and carefully retooled graphics, controls, enemies/bosses and optimized loading times throughout the games.
