Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was the first Metroid Prime to use the motion control in the Nintendo Wii Remote. The game did fairly well and Nintendo has decided to bring motion control to the entire Metroid franchise.

Nintendo is releasing all three Metroid games on one disc. The compilation of Metroid games will be titled Metroid Prime Trilogy. Metroid 1 and 2 will be redone so players can use the motion control of the Wii Remote to control the action.

“Metroid Prime Trilogy puts the best first-person adventures all in one place, with a host of new additions that make these three timeless titles more engaging than ever,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “A great deal of care and detail has gone into Metroid Prime Trilogy, providing longtime fans with new ways to experience the games they love.”

Metroid Prime Trilogy will sell for $49.99 on August 8th and is probably a good deal for Metroid fans. The disc contains all three games with a menu to easily choose the game you would like to play. Can’t really go wrong with three games on one disc.

EDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Metroid™ Prime 3: Corruption set a new standard for first-person motion controls in video games.

Metroid Prime Trilogy will be available exclusively for Wii on Aug. 24 at a suggested retail price of $49.99.
