Metroid Prime: Trilogy Special Packaging

All this move towards digital downloads is very nice and dandy but there’s nothing like the feel of a nice new packaged game in your hands is there? Being even bigger fans of Retro’s Metroid Prime trilogy than we are of game boxes, makes this packaging even more desirable. This is what you can expect to pick up from your favourite game retailer when the trilogy is released. The limited edition casing is made from metal and also includes a special ‘Metroid Prime Trilogy’ artbook.

Obviously the disc inside will contain the original Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes from the Gamecube as well as Metroid Prime 3: Corruption from Wii. This time round the first two games in the series will include motion controls as well as beefed up graphics, 16:9 widescreen support and faster door-loading times.

North America can expect the game to hit shelves on August 24th for $49.99, Europe and Australia are still waiting for a release announcement.
