another comparison. this time i include the original Prime 3 release and the Trilogy release played through USB loader on a Wii with homebrew.
the sequence goes: Prime 3 original, Prime 3 Trilogy Disc, Trilogy eShop and Trilogy Wii homebrew USB loader.

notes:
- Original Prime 3 is only the first clip. the rest are from Trilogy.
- Trilogy on homebrew Wii is the only one using an old Wii. the other 3 clips are from Wii U. the USB loader is USB Loader CFG.
- eShop release uses an SSD since it's the fastest storage medium on Wii U.
- Wii homebrew uses an HDD with WBFS file system.
- Trilogy Disc and eShop clips are from Wii U set to 1080p
- Trilogy is faster than original Prime 3 in most areas but it's a small difference between both disc versions.
- Trilogy and original Prime 3 saves aren't compatible. that's why the original prime 3 clip is missing many items.
- the video is 720p max because my capture card doesn't do 1080p60 and i sacrificed resolution for framerate.
