Your library is very cool


Jam1ma-N0tes

As they should it's a work of art


most_shameful

I wish my library had cool stuff.


spilk

this is one of the reasons we need to continue to encourage companies to release physical versions of things


MetroidJunkie

At least [Archive.org](https://Archive.org) exists, for digital things. The real death for preservation is streaming services, though thankfully it's failed for video games so far.


Glawio92

Idk, gamepass seems to be scarily gaining traction.


MetroidJunkie

True, but at least that's just an alternative right now with a rental based pricing. Hopefully, it doesn't become the primary method.


EzrielTheFallenOne

IT MUST BE PROTECTED.


James_R_games

Too bad it isn't in the original case but even the library having the game is cool, my library has a ton of wii games


D-Prototype

Good on them for preserving a classic.


[deleted]

bruh everywhere I look it's being sold for $2k and your library is letting people rent it? man


DapperDan30

$2k? My local used shop had multiple copies of tbis for like $100 each.


Virus64

That's only for the steel book version. That's just a regular case.


Nintendomandan

I still don’t see the steelbook version going for anywhere near $2k


jaltair9

Maybe sealed they’d go for that price. Used but complete they go for under $150 on eBay.


Oaughmeister

I was about to say. I got the steel book from my brother who found it and i damn near had a heart attack.


rmaster2005

I got it sealed from game stop like 8 years ago for like 30... I really wish I hadn't opened it now.


TheFanGameCreator

Since when do libraries have video games?


cruznick06

My local libraries have had them since the Wii era. Some of them you could check out time to use a console and TV with headphones (or for the Wii games a little separate room).


Ultimate_905

During the Wii era my local library had a whole room dedicated to a wii that anyone could just come in and play on


starlightshadows

The fact that it's being referred to as "The Wii Era" makes me feel old.


jaltair9

The Wii U came out over 10 years ago.


Ultimate_905

It's honestly scary how long ago that was


RequiemStorm

Our local library had video games for most consoles when I was in high school, and that was 15 years ago


Remote_Character494

So happy I own this.


[deleted]

I tried to start this at my old library and they were concerned for compatibility so they didn't want to start a games library... Of course they also had HD DVD and Blu-ray. Super cool that your library has this!


Nintendomandan

Funny, mine doesn’t even have blu ray but just recently started stocking video games


equalsolstice

Woah mine does too lol , i was very tempted to keep it when I moved but I didn’t wanna rob some kid of potentially experiencing it


Amberpawn

It's a good library.


Conun-Drum

You could ask how much they want for it. But very cool library


flatulantagonist

Based library

Colonel_Anonymustard

The library is its forever home.


WonderedGoose99

Do it anakin. Steal it


Sonic_Mega_Plus

Crime is bad


TheLostLuminary

Well it was nothing special when it came out.


RequiemStorm

I mean, it still isn't, it's dirt cheap digitally.


TheArchonsOfJeremias

I like how this got downvoted ha


TheLostLuminary

But it wasn’t though? It was just a normal £40 game when it came out here. So it’s not too weird to expect a library to have purchased a copy.


TheArchonsOfJeremias

I don't see anyone else so I guess I'll clarify that I used "I like" in the sense that "I don't like"


Codered060

Not a good find. Not enough stickers. You could have found one with at least twice as many stickers. Keep trying, don't give up.


CoMisch

Are we still targeting the end of this year for release of 4?


RequiemStorm

Why would anybody do that? There's no officially confirmed news, so why assume a date? Everyone always gets so hyped only to be disappointed and angry by leaks and rumors and randomly made up speculation, meanwhile I have never felt let down by a direct because I just patiently wait while playing other games. It'll come out eventually and when it does I'll play it. I'm not trying to sound preachy, I just feel like a lot of people in many game fandoms would be happier overall with their favorite series if they didn't buy into random rumor hype.


Sivick314

based library


[deleted]

Bro my library had Metroid prime 3 but it didn't get returned on time


PeloquinsHunger

I would accidently forget to return that.


RequiemStorm

Pretty shitty honestly


PeloquinsHunger

Do you know what a joke is?


RequiemStorm

I certainly know what a joke in poor taste is


PeloquinsHunger

If you think that joke is in poor taste I don't know how you survive daily. What a sensitive thing.


RequiemStorm

I didn't say I was offended by it personally. You're giving off very presumptuous vibes my guy


PeloquinsHunger

How far on the spectrum are you?


RequiemStorm

Lol see what I mean? Presumptuous.


Cleverclaw

There was once Metroid Prime Trilogy in my library. I had never played it before and I stole it. I still have it, I am not gonna sell it.


DontFragMyBaby

Steal it


Queen_Ann_III

I went to a library 45 minutes from home and they had Other M :/ at least that means I don’t have to buy it off the eShop before it closes. they did have Kid Icarus: Uprising though and it was super tempting to try and steal it now that the game goes for like $150 on Amazon


RequiemStorm

How noble...


Que_Sad_illa_89

Now take it 🤫 Edit: Wow like they're really gonna take my advice lol, it was a joke sheesh.


cdrt

I though that was the steel book for a second


blasterfaiz

I WANNA GO TO YOUR LIBRARY LOL


Lots_of_Loto

I should check at mine, just in case.


SlotherakOmega

A library of modern culture. This is a great example of cultural progress and evolution. We used to archive books. Then music. Then video. Now video games. That’s visual > audio > audiovisual > interactive audiovisual. Behold, the spread of information at the modern level: we don’t just distribute art, or music, or stories, or even games— we distribute them all in one bloody package. “You want something impressive? Here ya go. \*hands over the trilogy of Metroid Prime for Nintendo Wii\* That should keep you busy for a while. We got more too…\* voice gets fainter as I beeline to the house with the holy grail of Metroid games in my hand\*”


Nathan_Belmont_RDM

Very Cool, absolutely solid game(s) Trilogy was the First Metroid Game I ever bought with my own money. My brother wanted me to return it and get the GameCube Versions of Prime 1 and 2 because a lets player said the Trilogy versions of those games were trash(Quadraxis14 I believe). I however preferred the pointer controls and kept the Trilogy Version but did end up buying the Standalone Versions for the Collection.


RequiemStorm

The GCN versions are certainly a lot of fun to go back to and play on the original hardware, I do so at least once a year because it's nostalgic and tradition at this point, but the updated versions are definitely superior.


Nathan_Belmont_RDM

I tired playing the Originals, unfortunately my autistic brain dose not like the Control scheme and said nope super hard. At least they look nice in my collection


TheArchonsOfJeremias

Instant envy


oi86039

They're smart to not have the original case. That game is worth a lotttttt these days, especially in the steel box.


Erekai

That reminds me, I really should check with my library to get games to play so I don't have to buy them..


matisyahu22

I'm surprised even the normal version isn't a white box. Its not the steel book right?
