Metroid Prime Trilogy release date is August 24, 2009. Preorder bonuses and Collector’s Edition revealed
Metroid Prime Trilogy for Wii is scheduled for release on August 24th in the US and September 4th, 2009 in Europe.
As we’ve previously reported, the game will include all three Metroid Prime games at a budget price of $50, effectively giving you the first two Prime games for free. Considering that Metroid Prime 3: Echoes alone costs $50.
The first two games are also upgraded with all-new controls that mimick Prime 3 as well as an unlockable reward system featuring Tokens. Which has also been lifted from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and applied to the first two games, although all-new unlockables will also be included.
The game will be available in a standard edition as well as a Collector’s Edition. The CE version includes not only a sweet tin case, but also an art booklet.
And if you pre-order from GameStop you’ll get the art book AND a free Metroid Prime t-shirt!
Here is a brief description of each Metroid Prime game included in Metroid Prime Trilogy:
METROID PRIME — Samus Aran, a bounty hunter by trade, chases down the evil Space Pirates in the first game of the series. Their intention is to use a genetic mutagen called Phazon to create a super army and take over the universe. While the installments in the series before have never been home to deeply involving storylines, Metroid Prime breaks the shell to offer up one of the most intriguing and read-worthy sagas yet.
METROID PRIME 2: ECHOES — Travel to a planet torn into light and darkness. Hunted by a mysterious entity and a warring race called the Ing, Samus Aran must explore the light and dark worlds of this doomed planet to discover secrets and augment her suit’s weapons and abilities. And now, for the first time in the history of the celebrated Metroid franchise, up to four players can battle each other as they search for weapons, grapple across ceilings, and turn into Morph Balls to make their escapes.
METROID PRIME 3: CORRUPTION — The Galactic Federation’s Base Sector Zero is under attack by Space Pirates. Samus must boot up the generator to restore the defense systems. But at the end of her path, someone awful is waiting for her. The war initiated by Dark Samus and the Space Pirates rages across many planets as they attempt to corrupt each with Phazon seeds. Players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to explore alien landscapes, hunt for weapons and information, and destroy the seeds. Saving the planets from Corruption isn’t enough, though. Eventually, players must take down Samus’ mortal enemy, Dark Samus.

Don’t bother me! I’ve got all 3 seperately. JQ
I’ve only got the third on Wii and I never finished the first on GameCube, so I’m tempted to pick this up to save some shelf space. And because I want to try them all of course.
