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.

It seems all the whispers and speculation about Nintendo re-releasing the Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii were true after all.
The original Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes from the Gamecube and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption from Wii will be found all cuddled up on the same disc, acccording to Kotaku. Of course this time round the first two games in the series will include the new motion (or should I say ‘new play’ controls) in addition to new graphical effects, 16:9 widescreen support and faster door-loading times. Excellent.
The ‘unlockables’ system that we saw in Metroid 3: Corruption will also be present in all three titles in this special release. This entitled players to view special concept art and listen to soundtracks as a way of an achievement system.
North America can expect the game to hit shelves on August 24th for $49.99, while Europe and Australia will have to wait for an announcement regarding a PAL release which will surely only be a matter of time though.
Let’s hope that this is a precursor for Nintendo announcing metroid Prime 4 sometime soon!
