IGN is showing screens and a hand's on of a Wii Metroid Prime Trilogy.

It has a streamlined front menu and settings carry over to each different game.

EDIT
It is currently unclear whether or not old save data from any of the previous games can be imported to this game.

It will be $49.99 and be released this August 24th.

This was actually posted in the GC remakes topic but it didn't get its own topic.So great that you started one Stratos.

I have both Metroid Primes on the GC and MP3 on the Wii. There was a rumor about this complation few months back.

I am really excited about this complation.

Oh Stratos August 24th is the release date.

Yeah, the GC remake thread got updated the same time I posted this thread because I had just checked and it was not there. I always check the first few pages of the board and do a thread title search before I start a new thread.

I'm adding pictures to the OP as well.

The second shot is from MP3.The third is from MP2.
Got one from Metroid Prime?

There is no indication of porting old save files from previous versions so far.

And since Nintendo is saving this title for the beginning of Fall, it sounds like they have no to release at the end of the year. This pony is it.

This is the third topic on this (counting the Talkback section), it would make it easier to keep all the discussions in one thread.

Stratos make this the Official topic.

Stratos · « **Reply #9 on:** May 22, 2009, 05:55:34 PM »

I could add the words "official" to my thread title

I'll submit to any decision made by the mods. If my thread is locked then so be it. But if they don't then I say mine is the official thread for the game. The other thread here is for more than just Prime Trilogy so that one can and eventually will move back to a more general discussion.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #10 on:** May 22, 2009, 05:58:24 PM »

I have no problem with that, just thought I would point out it doesn't make much sense to basically have 3 threads for this and having to repeat my comments.

Without repeating myself, I am glad Nintendo is doing this. If I can use my save file from Metroid Prime 3 on this then I will trade in my copy of the game now to get the credit and apply it towards this.

No. the this got posted in the GC remake thread 4.5 hours before you posted this thread. I even posted the PR 4 hours before you posted this thread and it hit the main site 3 hours before you posted this thread.

Now that we got that out of the way, I plan on buying this and selling off MP1&2 if it will import my current save files.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #12 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:23:38 PM »

I'm not sure how much you would get for them considering most stores are selling Metroid Prime for $5 and MP2 not much more than that.

UncleBob · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:34:19 PM »

Neat. I would have preferred the awesome three-disc set (just looks more awesome), but this is nice and should sell well.

UncleBob · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:43:07 PM »

The question we've all been wondering - what are the odds the original Metroid will still be unlockable in some way? Metroid Quadrilogy?

Considering both it and its SNES successor are on the VC, does it really matter?

The original Metroid has not aged well and hard to justify $5 on it. I doubt it will be on the disc though since Nintendo wants you to pay the $5. I am not sure what they would do with it since Metroid Prime required you to link it up with Metroid Fusion.

UncleBob · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:12:43 PM »

Does it matter? No.
Will people care? Yes.

Also - I wonder if the retail release of MP3 will see a price drop...

So long as Nintendo's making money, no.

UncleBob · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:30:21 PM »

Well, Nintendo won't be making money off a game they're selling as part of a three pack for the same price. Retailers will likely demand money back or a buy back in exchange for stocking the new version (like what is done with Player's Choice re-releases and such).

You see, you're operating in the realm of logic, assuming that consumers are intelligent enough to grab the Trilogy over just Prime 3. Nintendo operates with a logic that mere mortals like ourselves cannot comprehend fully. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Players' Choice-d or discounted, but I wouldn't be the least be surprised if they didn't care and just left it as it was.

UncleBob · « **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:43:12 PM »

If it were just up to Nintendo, I'd probably agree. However, retailers have limited shelf space and they like to move older stock.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #22 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:44:12 PM »

To me, it's no different than movie studios selling movies together and separately. For example, you can buy The Matrix trilogy on Blu-ray Disc in a 3 disc set or individually as 3 different releases.

It would be odd if they kept MP3 at $50 though instead of dropping it to like $40.

Kairon · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2009, 12:37:52 PM »

This is cool and all... but I dunno. There's a part of me that just can't get that excited. I sort of hope that this hasn't taken up a lot of Retro Studio resources.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 23, 2009, 12:49:42 PM »

I'm sure they didn't have more than 4-5 people working on it.
The NPC parts were already done for the Japanese versions, so all they had to do was a unified title screen and achievements.

If Retro couldn't handle that and be working on something else BIG with the other 90+% of their team, then maybe Miyamoto needs to get in there and start upending desk and workstations.
