Good news for Wii owners who missed out on the awesome Metroid Prime Trilogy deal, despite being discontinued you might still be able to find new copies out there. The catch is, you have to be willing to travel for them. While out of town and visiting Hayward, Wisconsin, I happened to stop by a local Pamida. Imagine my surprise in seeing a new copy of the Metroid Prime Trilogy Collector’s Edition for $49.99.

Nintendo released the Metroid Prime: Trilogy on August 24, 2009 and contained three games. It has the enhanced versions of the GameCube games Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, which were remastered to use Wii nunchuk and remote controls among other things, and the Wii game Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on a dual-layer disc. The collection was discontinued in North America and Australia in January, 2010…

Sad news Wii owners. One of the best deals for the system is going to be a lot harder to find in stores. Nintendo has stated that it is no longer shipping Metroid Prime: Trilogy, a compilation of Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on one Wii disc. It’s a shame, since buying it got you three great games for only $49.99.

Blog Coffee with Games first made the discovery and heard firsthand from Nintendo that Metroid Prime: Trilogy was always a limited release game. So this means now, if you want it, you have to search for a used copy of it. Of course, now that it’s out of print expect prices to sky-rocket.

This doesn’t mean you’ll never be able to play the three games on your Wii if you can’t find Metroid Prime: Trilogy. It just means you’ll have to pay quite a bit more for them…

The Game Cube games Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes have been updated for the Wii. They’ve been touched up here and there, they’ve been converted to widescreen and they’ve been blessed with the WiiMote-Nunchuck combo. To top it off, they’ve been bundled with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, placed on one dual-layer disc and given perhaps the best packaging yet seen in the US With all this, Nintendo and and Retro Studios have given us the best deal available on the Wii.

Even if you’ve played all these games before, it’s a package all Wii gamers should own.

From the operating table to the depths of space we go as we continue our quest for Wii franchises that’ll launch new gamers into the realm of hard core. Metroid is one of those rare games that has grown comfortably with the times. Since switching to 3D, the games have always been hampered by somewhat cumbersome controls. Freed from this limitation by the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption suddenly performed the way its protagonist—bounty hunter Samus Aran—is portrayed: quick, fluid, and natural.

Get ready for the best news to come from Nintendo in quite a while: the highly anticipated Metroid Prime Wii-make will be combined with sequels Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and released for $50 this August. The first and second titles (which were originally released on the Gamecube) will have full motion control support, while the third game (a Wii native) will reportedly be untouched, and the very cool “achievements” one could earn in Corruption will be available across the three games.

Just after I reported on all the remakes coming to the Wii, Nintendo announced a slew of excellent Gamecube games getting a Wii makeover. 1up reported that adventure-FPS classics Metroid Prime 1 and 2, along with garden-strategy hybrids Pikmin 1 and 2 will receive the upgraded treatment. Also on the list of Wii-makes are Mario more »

“We are taking a break from the Metroid series and from Samus”, said series director and Retro, Mark Pacini during a video interview on Yahoo Games. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption which shipped for the Nintendo Wii console last week was the series third and final installment.

Retro Studios, owned by Nintendo, blew the dust off and revitalized the old Nintendo sci-fi favorite when it began creating the Metroid Prime series. While many were skeptical about the game’s character Samus moving from the old side-scrolling action adventure to a first person shooter, the game was able to…

In order to generate buzz for upcoming Wii FPS Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Nintendo has put up a new Metroid Prime 3 preview channel on the Wii (under Wii Ware), currently host to several preview videos and trailers. The game itself is scheduled to launch on August 27, 2007.

What’s even more exciting is Joystiq’s reporting that two classic Metroid titles will be available on the Virtual Console for the festivities: The original Metroid will be arriving on August 13, 2007 for 500 points, with SNES masterpiece Super Metroid landing for 800 points on August 20, 2007.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has some…
