ARS: Metroid Prime Trilogy brings all three later-generation Metroid games together in one package, and adds motion-controls to Metroid Prime 1 and 2. It's a good package for $50, and for those gamers who haven't played the games, this gives them a chance to get the entire experience in one package. One minor annoyance, though: you can only play using the motion controls.
The game landed on our doorstep a few days ago, hot off the presses, and I couldn't wait to find out how the first two Metroid Prime titles played with the motion controls. The results were pleasantly surprising-look for a more in-depth review early next week-but I was taken aback when the instruction manual noted that the GameCube controller wouldn't work on any of the games.
Nintendo had given Retro Studios the task of remastering the Metroid Prime Trilogy after the studio's unannounced music RPG was canceled.
Maybe it will happen after Metroid Prime 4 launches. Put Metroid Prime 2 & 3 on Switch and Switch 2.
"Metroid Prime Trilogy, the Wii compilation of Retro Studios' first-person take on the Metroid series, launched in North America on 24th August 2009, exactly 15 years ago.
In honour of that sparking release (well, a little less sparkling than the originals in some places due to a few missing effects), we're taking the opportunity to recap Samus' story so far in the Metroid Prime games while we wait for the fourth numbered entry..." - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife
my most anticipated game.
just started playing the Trilogy on WiiU again (love the motion controls with wiimote)
amazing series!
if they aren't going to remaster all 3 titles prior to 4, it would have been nice if they just gave us a bare bones Switch port of the Wii U Trilogy. Thankfully I own that so I can still replay all 3 before 4 comes along.
all 3 titles remastered would be awesome.
i would still miss the motion controls though :(
The Nerd Stash: "Looking to make some quick cash? Have some old Wii games lying around? Well, why not take a gander at our list of rarest Nintendo Wii games?"
Umm...you can already play Prime 1 and 2 with the old controller on Wii.
"Why remove the option?"
Because the point of the boxed trilogy is to give the other two games the control scheme out of Corruption. Duh.
Otherwise, you'd be paying $50 to put the OLD control scheme on Prime 3.
Cry moar.
lol

Prime 1 was awesome and Prime 2 was very good. The 1st thing I thought after playing 3 was," Good God I would love to replay these with Wii controls." And look, dreams do come true. Disregard this stupid article and pick the damn thing up day 1. I beat all three on hard at 100% and am looking forward to doing it again. The Conduit can't even hang with the likes of this. At all. The original Prime was probably one of the best games I've EVER played. If you've got a big screen, surround sound and cool neighbors, color yourself happy. Good times are ahead.
