Metroid Prime Trilogy

Game Overview

Metroid Prime Trilogy bundles Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption into one master package. The trilogy spans Samus Aran's battles against Space Pirates, the terrifying Metroid species, and her dark alter-ego, Dark Samus. Players explore the mysterious planet Tallon IV in Prime, navigate the light and dark parallel dimensions of Aether in Echoes, and travel across multiple star systems to cleanse Phazon corruption in Corruption.

The defining upgrade of this collection is the retrofitting of Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes with the fluid motion controls pioneered by Metroid Prime 3. Players aim Samus's arm cannon directly on-screen with pinpoint precision using the Wii Remote pointer, dramatically improving combat fluidity and environmental scanning. Additionally, the compilation features an integrated achievement credit system, allowing players to unlock concept art, soundtrack tracks, and bonus features across all three games from a single master menu.
