For those of you that have defied the odds and are unaware, in the most recent Nintendo Direct a few weeks ago there was the surprise announcement of Wii U eShop digital re-releases for some of the Wii's best games. So far we've had the phenomenal Super Mario Galaxy 2 followed by the excellent Donkey Kong Country Returns for Europe, with the latter countered by the formidable Punch-Out!! in North America.
If all that wasn't enough, as of tomorrow (29th January) you'll be able to download the sublime Metroid Prime Trilogy, which like the first two games will temporarily be sold for the bargain price of £8.99 / €9.99 / $9.99. In our Metroid Prime Trilogy review back in 2009 we awarded the game a solid 10/10 and concluded by saying "Retro has done a bang-up job in creating a polished compilation of their brand of Metroid games, which are considered some of the best adventures around. If you haven't experienced Tallon IV, Aether or become corrupt, you owe it to yourself to get on this, and veterans can still find enough thrills and upgrades to make Trilogy a worthwhile endeavour".

Players jumping into the series before Metroid Prime 4 releases need access to the entire trilogy on the Switch, not just Metroid Prime Remastered.
Theyre gonna pull some BS, just watch. Im betting 1 and 2 will be sold individually then 3 will be a part of a trilogy pack.
I don't know why everybody is praising Nintendo for remastering Prime1 when they became silent radio on Prime4.
As much as I can see the game looking better it's still played exactly like the Metroid prime 1 on Gamecube or the Trilogy version that I also own on Wiiu (It's the Wii version but it was made a Wiiu title)
but that would be expected to cost less and nintendo doesn't like things costing less
especially when people keep supporting that anyway
Metroid fans for years: "we want prime remastered."
Metroid fans after getting what they want: "yeah.... It's ok but where's the rest"
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "It's practically expected that every major game franchise eventually gets a compilation that collects the best (or just a ton) of games in one convenient package. And that's what we're looking at in today's top 10, the very best video game compilations ever!"

resellers are the worst.
So glad this is happening, hope Xenoblade comes next! People who buy games just to re-sell ay higher prices are the worst...
I will be the first to admit that as soon as I saw this story I turned on my Wii U. I own the Trilogy on disc. Does anyone know if there are any changes to the digital versions? I would have no problem rebuying.
Why do you guys hate entrepreneurial capatalism? Grow up, people need to make money.
I just find it funny how we mostly all cry for Gamecube games or N64 releases yet we get this...something which was already released as it is on the Wii
