Not sure I want to buy them again unless I find them ultra cheap at one point. I have bought them twice already, once on GameCube and Wii, and once as trilogy on Wii U.
I am replaying trilogy currently. Echoes may be the one I know the less of the three (I basically know MP1 by heart), but it's great. Most confusing map of the three though.
I really, really loved Echoes and it has some prime (heh) world building, level design and boss fights. Enjoy!
I think the thing that had the most impact on me when I first played Echoes was the screw attack power up, because even if it's a bit limited so it works in 3D, it's still a very fun move.
Though, come on Retro Studios. That move is not the screw attack, it's the actual space jump, which was not supposed to be a single mid-air jump. Screw attack is just the sparkly hurty part of it. Metroid 1 even had screw attack without the space jump!
Have you played it on dolphin with primehack? The control and graphics updates are really good.
Haven't tried that, no. Not sure I would be very interested in the control hack part of it though, I don't really like mouse/keyboard controls.
Also, I think stuff like ripping the shields off pirates in MP3 feels quite satisfying.
I play it on the Steam Deck with dual-stick controls (and a little bit of gyroscope aiming), it feels pretty natural
