Metroid Prime Gc Iso Ntsc Video
May have originally released to stores back in 2002, but the Wii remake that's hit Japan this month feels like a brand new game indeed. New Play Controls: takes everything that was in the GameCube original and brings in many of the elements that Retro Studios applied to Metroid Prime 3 for the Wii. This means full Wii Remote and Nunchuk functionality as well as widescreen support. Though we still have to plow through the entire Wii version of the game to see all of the changes that were put into this 'Wiimake,' I thought I'd take the time to put the two versions side-by-side and show off, at the very least, some of the same scenes in the early parts of the adventure, both on the GameCube and on the Wii. Keep in mind, however, that the GameCube version I played was from the US, while Wii is currently only available in Japan. So the obvious first difference between the two editions in the footage is the language. Wii The GameCube version runs in progressive scan, but not in widescreen.
This page lists some of the differences between the PAL and NTSC versions of Metroid Prime. List of Metroid Prime version differences. VisualEditor History.
Any cutaway presentation is produced in letterbox format (a standard cinematic effect in videogames) but when the game cuts back to first-person view the game returns to 4:3 'full frame.' It's the same on the Wii edition if you're running your system at 4:3, but if your system's hooked up to a widescreen/HD television and set up for the 16:9 format the cutscenes and in-game gameplay are in true widescreen. We have noticed that the cutscenes in the widescreen Wii version cut off a little more than what the GameCube version shows, giving players a bit more of an 'up close' camera perspective. It's not that big of a deal to be honest, but it definitely is something you can see in side-by-side footage. Wii Much of the visuals and audio haven't changed from the two versions, so don't expect much new beyond the widescreen mode.

In my early hands-on I said that the voice-over at the start of the adventure is new to the Wii version, but that's only partially true: the PAL GameCube version had this voice over as well, but it's new to NTSC gamerswe don't have the Japanese GameCube version of the title to see if it snuck into that edition as well. The other big difference is in control. On GameCube you used the standard dual analog controller for this first-person adventure, but beyond inverting the Y axis you don't have much in the way of customization. On Wii, there are far more variations to worry about, including player preferences in aiming sensitivity – Retro took their configurations from Metroid Prime 3 and applied them to the Wii edition of Metroid Prime one. By default it mirrors the simplistic 'lock on' controls of the GameCube game, but if you're already a seasoned Metroid player you'll want to tweak the settings to the 'advanced' options for much tighter turning and aiming. The training mission at the start of the adventure is a great place to test the different options that are given to you.
The following is a list of games that support , and display modes. The GameCube's 480p signal, which is the highest quality video it can provide, is only natively supported by certain region games and can only be utilized if specific hardware is provided. For region games, the default video output is normally (50 Hz) while some games provide an option to use PAL60 (/60 Hz). Widescreen mode is not supported often across the GameCube's library, but can be used on any hardware setup regardless of region. A DOL-001 GameCube and can provide a 480p video signal. To get a 480p signal from a GameCube console, it is first necessary to use a DOL-001 model system, as these are equipped with a digital A/V port.

This port was removed with the DOL-101 revision of the GameCube hardware in May 2004 because Nintendo found that less than one percent of players were using the port. Furthermore, a cable and supporting television are required. The only cables that can output a 480p signal from the GameCube are the official Nintendo-brand cables, available in in North America and in Japan. These cables are equipped with a proprietary developed by Nintendo which has not been reproduced by any third party company. Since the cables only carry a video signal, standard A/V cables are still necessary for audio. First generation Wii systems (RVL-001) are also capable of outputting 480p video for compatible GameCube games if component cables are used and the system is set to 480p mode. In order to enable progressive scan mode, the B button must be held down as a compatible game boots.
This will display a prompt giving the player the option to turn progressive scan on or off. The next time a progressive scan compatible game is played, it is not necessary to hold down the B button as the system remembers this setting and will automatically display the prompt. Selecting 'no' at this prompt will turn the setting off at the system level, and it will need to be enabled again.
This procedure is identical to enabling PAL60 for those games which support it. Games that do not have progressive scan support will not display the prompt, but can still be played with component cables, although in 480i. Progressive scan compatible games played on a Wii console set to 480p mode with component cables will always automatically display the prompt. Despite all DOL-001 GameCube and RVL-001 Wii systems supporting progressive scan regardless of their region, only around 200 NTSC games will natively support the display mode. All games in regions were intentionally programmed with the mode disabled; however, a select few can output 480p by forcing an NTSC signal with either a (ex. These modchips and boot disks can also be used to bypass, allowing NTSC games that support progressive scan to be played on PAL systems.
Since Freeloader has been blocked on the Wii with System Update 3.3, or a modchip should be used. Some modchips can force 480p on any game, although compatibility is not guaranteed, with many games only partially working or crashing completely. Furthermore, the GameCube homebrew application Swiss can be used to force progressive scan with varying results. This -related list is; you can help.
