Metroid Prime Trilogy Coming To Wii
By Shaun Hatton - May 22nd, 2009
This news could be construed as an argument for the existence of God. Metroid Prime Trilogy is coming to Wii. The one-disc compilation will include the GameCube classics Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes with updated Wii controls as found in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Additionally, these re-worked games will also feature a widescreen presentation and still-unannounced updates.
The disc will drop August 24 for a suggested retail price of $59.99 and, even though I have the three titles as their stand-alone versions, I will be buying it.
Metroid Prime was one of the games that started Adam and me on our weekly gaming get-togethers. Our Fridays all those years ago consisted of mountain biking through treacherous terrain for a few hours and then grabbing some late supper (usually a pizza each but sometimes sushi) and hunkering down to play games till the sun rose. For the most part, we would play single-player games by taking turns either playing or yelling at the other person for messing things up. We still call the particular pizza we would order for our Metroid gaming marathons “Metroid Pizza.”

what a great day. see i knew from the moment I found my missing notepad.
Sweet. Metroid Prime 3 has some of the best Wii controls in any game, and if they’ve been replicated for the first two, this game should be HUGE. What I can’t figure out is why that series isn’t as pumped and hyped up as the FPS titles from the other two console giants.
