Affordably priced trilogy package on its way to the Wii.

Well here's a pretty good deal. Nintendo has announced that it'll be releasing Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Wii on August 24. The package will feature the "New Play Control" style of operation in Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2. Naturally, it will also include Metroid Prime 3, which was originally released on the Wii. So that one will have Current Play Control.

The games will be collected on one disc, and a new setup for unlockables will open up stuff as objectives across the three games are completed. The compilation will retail for $49.99.

Hey, it's cool that they interlink all three games with stuff. 

Beat Prime, but was disappointed that my Gamecube kicked it before I could try out the sequel.  Good to know they're still willing to sell the stuff :)

If that's true, I would totally pay $50 for it.

If not, it's less of a deal to me as I already own the first two games and have no issues with their controls, but widescreen would be a nice perk.

I've *heard* that Metroid Prime and Echoes will also feature native widescreen support -- a feature that was noticeably missing from the original GameCube releases -- but I've never found an official statement from Nintendo about that one way or the other.  Here's hoping...!

Sweet! I was afraid I'd have to pay thirty bucks each for the first and second games each. That would add up to the price of a 360/PS3 game. AND WHO EVEN HAS ENOUGH SKRILLA FOR THAT?!!?!!

I always thought that type of package would be something left only to my imagination, but now I'm actually glad about this, considering I've never owned (or played enough of) the first two Prime games. Besides, 3 games for the regular price of one. That pretty much settles the deal for me.

It will also have four-player local death match which wasn't in any of the Prime games.

If you have not played any of the Prime games i must say that this is the ideal package for the ideal price, actually it is a awesome deal considering the quality of those three games and the new features.

edit: apparently there was 4 player multiplayer in Echoes but never in Corruption
