Nintendo: Metroid Prime Trilogy No Longer Published or Shipped

Just four months after the games release, Nintendo says it has stopped distribution of the Metroid Prime: Trilogy Collector's Edition. A company representative says the only way to find the title is now through the second-hand market.

haha nice video comment, so true

qface645228d ago

oh crap i gotta go out and get one now before its too late Dx

SinnedNogara5228d ago

It's a good thing I just bought it a week ago. I find it odd why Nintendo would do such a thing though. It's like if Steam just stopped selling The Orange Box. Better call some friends to tell them.

IanCube5229d ago

Anyone surprised by this? 4 months is a very short run for a title as popular as this franchise is.

Were sales tanking?

Jinxstar5228d ago (Edited 5228d ago )

It's only the collectors edition. Not the game itself. Just a misleading title is all. Probably for hits.

Considering how cheap the price was for the amount of content you got in Trilogy, perhaps they weren't profiting from it?

People who own the Wii do not like quality games. They prefer Puppy Luv PETZ and Carnival Games. I was shocked to see NSMBWii do so well. Sad to see the "Casual Marketing" is killing the Nintendo's best franchises

" People who own the Wii do not like quality games."
And then you say
" I was shocked to see NSMBWii do so well"
And then you go on with
"Sad to see the "Casual Marketing" is killing the Nintendo's best franchises"

2 contradictions in such short stops.

A Cupcake for Gabe5228d ago (Edited 5228d ago )

What a shame, such a great series

WiiJunkii5228d ago (Edited 5228d ago )

OK, I just logged in and I cant help but notice that you're all over the Wii article's comments sections. Do some research, NSMBWii will outsell MW2 by the time all is said and done, and that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who follows gaming news. If you hate the Wii so much, get off of it's nuts and go play some games.

Thankfully, Stuffing your face full of cupcakes can keep you from speaking such garbage. If only there were an equivalent for your hands to keep you from typing this BS.

A Cupcake for Gabe5228d ago

cupcakes are good though

and it's not BS.

Mini Mario5228d ago (Edited 5228d ago )

"People who own the Wii do not like quality games. They prefer Puppy Luv PETZ and Carnival Games."

ANother example of people not reading the article properly. N4G put up misleading banners for people like you...read the banner, and not the article. It's the "Collectors Edition", not the game.

"I was shocked to see NSMBWii do so well. Sad to see the "Casual Marketing" is killing the Nintendo's best franchises"

Ahh NSMB is an awesome game. That's why it is selling so well. People have been playing mario for over 20 years. And who decides what games go into YOUR "casual market"...is there like a list somewhere that we are supposed to follow.

And u said you were shocked to see NSMB doing so well, and the "casual marker" was killing nintendo's best franchies? How can it be killing a franchise when it is doing do well?

I play NSMB all the time and i seriously doubt i would be what YOU consider to be a "casual gamer". Considering i spend alot of time playing games how can it be described as "casual" for playing a mario game, doesnt casual mean you play them "casually".

^Proof that your terminology is bogus and flawed.

Here's one of the NSMB dev's playing the game -

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Is that what you call a "casual" gamer, because he is playing what you call a "casual" game

baum5228d ago

Did he say NSMBWii is a good game?

*tsk tsk*

ReBurn5228d ago

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is an excellent game in my opinion. Sounds like someone has their nose out of joint that the Wii is spanking everyone else in this generation without the high-dollar flash that the other consoles have. Guess HD graphics really aren't everything.

Metroid Prime Remastered is Great, But a Trilogy Collection Would have Been Better

Players jumping into the series before Metroid Prime 4 releases need access to the entire trilogy on the Switch, not just Metroid Prime Remastered.

Imagine Metroid Prime using UE 5?, thank you Nintendo you are ossummm! :D

badz149448d ago

you want them to melt all the Switch worldwide?

PhillyDillyDee448d ago

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.

Petebloodyonion448d ago

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)

--Onilink--448d ago

Because its a great remaster? And actually reasonably priced against all odds?

I dont need them to be telling me every six months that Prime 4 is still coming. They are developing the game and will show more details when its ready, simple as that.

I have no problems with Nintendo not showing it yet if they still don’t want to

jambola448d ago

it's 40
I've seen better remastered trilogies for roughly the same, hell I've seen collections 5 times bigger for half the price

Petebloodyonion448d ago

and they released the COMPLETE trilogy on Wii-u for 20$
https://www.gamespot.com/ar...

--Onilink--448d ago

@pete

And that was still the Wii version, with literally no WiiU enhancements whatsoever…

I 100% prefer a remaster of the level we got at $40 than just a simple upres port of the trilogy at $60 like it has happened with basically every other Nintendo remaster so far, or even worse for them to release a Wii port for $20 with no enhancements

Not to mention this is clearly part of the work Retro is doing graphically for Prime 4

Tacoboto448d ago

That's not accurate on either part. The Wii U "title" is only just the Wii version - motion controls and 480p only. This version is the first version with dual-stick controls so that alone makes the feel of this different than either version 10 or 20 years ago.

Petebloodyonion448d ago

Yes like I said the Wii u is the Wii version but was billed as a Wiiu game the point it appears straight into the Wii-u Menu and not the Wii one like the Wii game but it is essentially the Wii Trilogy offered at a discount price at the time with remote controls.

PhillyDillyDee448d ago

As much as you can see? Guess you missed the part about modernized controls. I also saw a video that showed off an updated soundtrack.

Petebloodyonion448d ago

Ok they modernized control... update the music basically exactly what they did with the Wii trilogy (that supported motion control-like corruption)
My point isn't that the game is fined tune but the fact that ppl celebrate Nintendo for not delivering something that was a major announcement in 2017.
How would ppl feel if Sony was announcing Uncharted 5 and after 6 years they would release a remaster of the 1st Uncharted or if the upcoming Perfect Dark by MS is ... the remaster of the 1st one so you can still wait.

Heck I can already see the Xbox has no game or can't make a game comment flooding in

And also you know that they didn't made the trilogy so they can release the others game later on.

Neonridr448d ago

and TLOU on PS5 plays exactly the same as it does on PS4. What's your point? A great game deserves to be enjoyed by a larger audience.

Petebloodyonion448d ago (Edited 448d ago )

and the majority of the crowd dissed Sony for basically remastering a Ps4 titles
how many reviews gave it a great score but mentioned that the price was too high?
Heck, go see Angry joe review it's the perfect satire where he basically goes fetch the review of the Ps4 changes some filters, renames the file name to Tlou part 1, and press play.
Also, did NaughtyDog announce Tlou3 Part 5 years ago?

Again my issue isn't that they remaster a great game it's the fact that they are giving a middle finger to fans of the actual trilogy (ppl like me who basically own all previous versions) while saying get ready for parts 2 and 3 before the damn part 4.

And let's be clear if Microsoft would have put that crappy move with a 40$ Remake of Halo1 instead of Infinite
the negative comments would have flooded this thread.
Heck just wonder what would happen if MS release a Perfect Dark remaster instead of the new one?

Tacoboto448d ago

What are you on, Pete?

Halo CE already got remade, in 2011. Then it got re-released again as part of MCC in 2014. It's still getting updated. Nintendo hasn't said anything about remakes of Prime 2 or 3. The only TLOU being officially worked on is Factions and Part 1 PC.

What you're saying here is wrong, your initial post is wrong, and all of your follow ups have been wrong.

but that would be expected to cost less and nintendo doesn't like things costing less
especially when people keep supporting that anyway

Profchaos448d ago

Metroid fans for years: "we want prime remastered."

Metroid fans after getting what they want: "yeah.... It's ok but where's the rest"

Rage77448d ago

Notice that the people bitchin aren't the "Nintendo Fans".
That age old myth of "Crazed, Zealot acting Nintendo fans" is a construct from years of trolling coming from
"opposite camp fans".
Most of the people you see complaining here arent true Nintendo fans, they are low key "imposters" that fake
"concern", because "they care" when in reality you only see praising only what others do but Nintendo in teir eyes can only do wrong...its gotten old and it didnt work against the Switch's success and it probably never will.
In the meantime, i prefer to enjoy stuff instead of being day in and day out "disapointed" in the stuff i dont care about. Would it had been nice to have all 3? Sure, does it make this one less great? Abso-F&^in-lutely NOT. :)

jambola448d ago

Lol
"Not true Nintendo fans" ok

jambola448d ago

It's almost like there are a variety of people on the internet with varying opinions
Crazy

Rage77448d ago

Ah yes, There are in fact many with varied opinions and that in itself is a great thing to have, what is not so great is the people who either try to either force their opinions on to you, or try to guilt you into either feeling bad or dumb for not conforming to their opinion. Or as an alternative those who dont have a valid argument and resort to either belittling others or going for low petty insults to puff their egos online.
I personally care for none of the examples above, but have seen a lot of it happen for many years now.
I stick to being around peeps who enjoy the medium (video games) and dont feel the need to crap over somebody else's enjoyment.
