Metroid 3 had a simple solution for this - the doors to another zone would just stay closed while the game was loading whats behind it.

Besides this isn't an SD and HD thing anyways, it is an aspect ratio situation, it has nothing to do with resolution.

The unified launcher will let you change settings for all 3 games at once, and the newly added medal system (to 1 and 2) can probably unlock art and music.<br><br>Personally I'm really looking forward to revisit part 1, but I have always postponed it because I don't have a CRT anymore and I feared that would degrade the experience. No trouble there with the new widescreen 480p version and IR pointer awesomeness. :) So awesome that we are getting the trilogy instead of separate releases.

Surely they can do better than that. I hope they'll get it fixed before release. Stretched HUD in widescreen? Surely they can do better than that. I hope they'll get it fixed before release.
