All three Metroid Prime games rolled up into Metroid Prime Trilogy for Wii
If you were jealous of Japan's
New Play Control releases of
Metroid Prime and
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, don't be. Nintendo of America just
announced plans to release
all three (non-pinball)
Metroid Prime games on a single Wii disc as
Metroid Prime Trilogy. The press release says that it was developed by "Retro Studios and Nintendo." Did Retro itself work on the refit before leaving Nintendo, or does the Retro credit apply only to the original games?
Metroid Prime 1 and
2 will be enhanced with a widescreen mode and the
pointer-based Wii controls from the Japanese re-releases.
Metroid Prime 3 won't be, because it was already a Wii game and already has them. The collection will feature a "new unlockables system" that allows access to bonus artwork and other rewards based on accomplishments in all three games --
Corruption's "token" system applied to the
whole series.
Trilogy will be out in North America on August 24 for $50.
