* The entire ''Metroid Prime Trilogy'' is going to be [[UpdatedRerelease re-released]] on the Wii, the first two games remade with Wiimote Controls, and the token system, the multiplayer mode from ''Echoes'' will still be in the game, and ''Corruption'' is also on the disc. And all of this is only 50 dollars? Three of the best games from the Gamecube and the Wii for 50 dollars, and they were improved...
** [[UpToEleven The pre-order deal nets you a T-Shirt]]. [[NoExportForYou Unfortunately that part of the deal is only valid in the US]].
** The US and EU are getting the ''Trilogy'' deal, rather than having to buy the first two primes separately under the ''New Play Control!'' rerelease scheme like Japan. Since the ''NPC!'' games have been about half the price of a regular Wii game, we're basically getting both games ''with'' Corruption ''thrown in for free!''
** Not to mention the fact that the game comes in a special metal case. Nintendo games being released with special casing happens about as often as Ridley stays dead.
** If the act of putting a disc in the drive could count as a Crowning Moment, then booting up ''Trilogy'' when you haven't played a ''Metroid'' game since the Super Nintendo is most certainly one. A disc with nine times the amount of quality playtime as your average new game on the market (allowing that a ''Prime'' game takes about 3 times as long to fully explore as your regular blockbuster). Cue the Metroidgasm!
* A meta-example: the first IGN pool [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny Samus Aran Vs Master Chief]]. Samus won with a whole 73%. Adding to the amazement, this was held right after the marketing frenzy that is ''Halo 3'' came out (meaning that Samus still won even with the Master Chief's massive PR campaign).
* Most of the early SA-X encounters in ''Fusion'' involve you running and hiding because the feared evil twin can easily kill Samus with one shot of the Ice Beam and Super Missile (in that order). Once you have the Varia Suit, the Ice Beam won't freeze you (still hurts a lot, though), and by the time you meet SA-X again after getting said Varia Suit, you will be able to turn the tables on it by using Ice Missiles to freeze it. It only buys you about one second to run away, but this troper couldn't help but think "Who's laughing now?!" before running like hell to a hiding place.

* Ridley's a walkin' [[CrowningMomentofAwesome CMoA]], as well (albeit for reasons in which YMMV); he murders Samus' parents, sends her into a PTSD-induced ''breakdown'' which renders her helpless ''and taunts'' her with the idea that ''he devoured her mother's body'', and even when Samus thinks she's killed him, he returns for another go in her first mission, and seems to follow her like some kind of demon. He can give Samus a fight as a ''walking corpse'', and it takes a ''planet-sized explosion after exploding and falling into lava'' to canonically kill him. Then, ''immediately after'', he's cloned by the Galactic Federation and suddenly engages the still-traumatized Samus in the Pyrosphere, his apparent survival of Zebes' destruction only serving to remind Samus of her helplessness at the time of her parents' death at the claws of Ridley; and it takes until Ridley ''supposedly kills her crewmate Anthony'' before she can overcome her ''second'' mental breakdown and manage to compose herself enough to battle Ridley. And his clone is still viable for use by an X when it's stored on the BSL. ''Goddamn''.
