I finally found a Wii at Best Buy this past Sunday and am deciding which game to purchase first seeing as both is not an option at the moment (Still searching for a job...) so which should be the first?
I personally liked Metroid a lot more. It was more fun to me because more was happening. Zelda can be really slow, but is also a good game. It also depends on what u liek.
i had to go through the same decision this past weekend...I had both Zelda and MP3 in my hands at GameStop but could only afford one of them! I went with MP3 basically because my friend already has Zelda and i figured I could borrow it from him to see if I like it or not (which i know i will).
I really enjoy MP3 and think that you can't go wrong with either one!
Since you can only afford one game, I'd go with Zelda. Metroid is a ton of fun, and you should definitely get it someday, but Zelda will give you more gaming and more variety for your buck.
Metroid 3 has not yet been released in Europe, so I would have to go with Zelda at this current time. But Zelda is a great game, which I am sure that you will enjoy for many hours to come.
As many have said, you can't go wrong with either, but I believe that Zelda will last you longer, and as mentioned before it does start out fairly slow, but it picks up in the action and is a great game. From what I've seen with Metroid it throws you into the action faster, but doesn't quite last as long as Twilight Princess.
