Metroid Prime: Trilogy is an action-adventure video game compilation developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Wii video game console.[1] It features Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on a single dual-layer disc. The former two, which were originally released for the Nintendo GameCube, have been updated with many of the features that were first implemented in the latter. It was released in North America on August 24, 2009,[2] and will be released in the UK on September 4, 2009,[3] and in Australia on October 15, 2009.[4] The Collector's Edition is packaged in a metal tin, contains an art booklet, and includes other features.[5][6]
Overview
The updated Wii versions of Prime and Prime 2, which were released separately in Japan as part of the New Play Control! series, utilize the same Wii Remote control scheme introduced in Prime 3.[7][8] Other updates include shorter load times, upgraded textures, improved visual effects, and 16:9 widescreen capabilities. Additionally, the award system from Prime 3 was incorporated into the first two games. Players earn tokens by accomplishing certain tasks, allowing them to unlock in-game items such as artwork, music, and other features.[8][7][9]
