To add a few more words, it delivered the explanation of what the experience of playing Metroid Prime 1 was like perfectly. I always felt that would be hard to describe, because it's a pretty complex feeling... or maybe nuanced is a better word. It feels effortless, but to describe it requires like what you have done here.

I understand exactly what you mean, and that's part of why I had such a hard time writing this, especially since being able to accurately describe that experience played a huge role in noting where Corruption and especially Echoes went wrong.

That's what I meant when I said the game's beauty transcends technology. I've played the Trilogy version twice since I bought the game last year, and it rarely clicks that I'm not playing a current-gen game, because the artistry on display is still fantastic. You're right about the textures (the visible pixelation on Samus's torso during elevator scenes always bugged me), but I'm not kidding when I say the main reason I bought this set was to play Prime in true widescreen at last. And if the game is ever re-released on a future high-def Nintendo console, I'll happily buy it again.

Is there an option for widescreen or is it just the way it's optimized?

I'll add to the praise. Never played a Metroid game before, but I picked up the trilogy after reading this review.
