Well Derec, it depends what you’re closer to more during the day. I work with my computer and when I relax during the evening it’s with the Wii. So personally it’s “easier” to watch on the computer.

I never said it was a bad thing for Nintendo to do (although maybe VMR didn’t mean me), just that having a separate channel for something so small as a video was a bit silly. Maybe have individual downloads for the videos and have them play in the highest resolution possible.

Now I’m going to go read the “counter argument” thing someone posted. Although generally you don’t see people writing too many rants on main pages of news sites, especially with counter arguments. But hey, it’s your site not mine.

I fail to understand how this is bad for nintendo. What wrong move did they make? Think about it what was the trailer on first, the Wii right ok and shortly after that what was it on then? Exactly it was already out on almost every gaming media that talks about the Wii that you can think of right? Anything that shows up on the Wii shows up elsewhere in the gaming biz. Nintendo was smart for doing this because by doing so they got the best of both worlds.

In Reply to Catarax:
Why would I go download the video off a game site when it is available on my Wii? I can tell you that I never would have seen these videos if it wasn’t for the Preview Channel. I hope Nintendo does things like for for more of its games.

I thought the idea was useless as well. You can download videos off the Internet, especially when all the channel does is stream them in low quality. I kind of understand the PS3 store’s HD trailers more.

I’m definitely going to buy Metroid Prime 3 but I have no interest in the channel. Maybe if they’d have added some mini-games or something else like that it would be worth it. But then again there’s still a while before the full game is out in stores so they do have time..

@quinnten83; The European release for MP3 is in October, so I’d expect this channel to become available near that time – damn annoying delay though as I’ve had the game pre-ordered since I bought my Wii back in February! Still, at least we’re (finally) getting Trauma Center and Super Paper Mario before then.

Unfortunately still not available in Europe. even though we pay Ã¢â€šÂ¬60,- for the game rather than $60,- which means we pay effectively around $80.
No eurolove whatsoever!!!

Nintendo complained that MP2:echoes didn’t sell as well as the first metroid.
This was pretty much their own fault since the second installment was as good as the first one. This third one is also going to bomb if they don’t ramp up the marketing and advertisment. I mean the game comes out around the same time as HALO3 and nobody should be arrogant enough to think that they can go against that title without a very bloody battle.

That being said, of course i will buy the game, I love all the 3d metroids.
