Suffice to say, Nintendo Switch could really use Metroid Prime Trilogy. Metroid Prime Trilogy (sometimes spelled as Metroid Prime: Trilogy) is an enhanced compilation of Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption released on Augfor the Wii in North America. Trilogy released on Wii and provided motion controls for all three games for the first time, and it typically goes for between $100 and $200 on eBay. Of course, that doesn’t do us any good right now, does it?Īs its name would imply, Metroid Prime Trilogy collects the three existing games in the franchise, the first two having launched on GameCube and the final entry releasing for Wii. Grubb said, “So right now we’re getting Metroid Dread this year, and then I would imagine that Metroid Prime Trilogy is something they’ll release close to the release of Metroid Prime 4, whenever that is.” Holding on to Trilogy to release it in the build-up to the launch of the long-awaited new entry from Retro Studios just makes good sense to maximize hype. He went on to say, “I think Nintendo was focusing its quality assurance resources on one or two big projects at a time and that meant that some games that were basically finished were sitting on the side, while they had their lockdown secure QA processes focused on one or two more important games.”Īnother part of holding off on a largely finished Nintendo Switch port of Metroid Prime Trilogy may have to do with timing its release with the eventual release of Metroid Prime 4. Any body who is into first-person shooters, the Metroid series, or both NEED TO OWN THIS GAME The graphics, the soundtrack, the controls are all top-notch. The first two games were originally on the Gamecube, but have been updated to work with the Wii remote and nunchuck. “I think a big problem for Nintendo for quite some time during the pandemic was QA,” said Grubb. This is a compilation of the three Metroid Prime games, all in one. Rather, part of it may have to do with limited quality assurance (QA) resources.
Each game maintains its original storyline and settings, but now Metroid Prime and. Grubb elaborated on what he knew, explaining that when this game ultimately releases is likely dependent upon a few different factors, and none of it has to do with a lack of faith in Metroid. Metroid Prime: Trilogy is a three-game collection for the Wii console that bundles all three landmark Metroid Prime games onto one disc and revamps the first two installments with intuitive Wii Remote controls, wide-screen presentation and other enhancements. This echoes what former Game Informer reporter Imran Kahn stated way back in January 2019 when he claimed that the game had been “ long done.” Perhaps Metroid Prime Trilogy has been finished with development on Switch for quite some time. Nonetheless, here we go again: GamesBeat journalist and industry insider Jeff Grubb claimed on his Giant Bomb show GrubbSnax (paywall) that a version of Metroid Prime Trilogy for Nintendo Switch “is done and Nintendo is holding it” (via VGC).
So right now we’re getting Metroid Dread this year and then I would imagine that Metroid Prime trilogy is something they’ll release close to the release of Metroid Prime 4, whenever that is.Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one before - we know you’ve heard this one before. Will played the Metroid Prime games many years ago, but that pretty much. “The other factor for Metroid Prime Trilogy is that it’s definitely going to be a marketing beat for Metroid Prime 4, almost certainly. In nibblebits we cover some exciting PlayStation exclusives coming to PC and in. “I think a big problem for Nintendo for quite some time during the pandemic was QA… I think Nintendo was focusing its quality assurance resources on one or two big projects at a time and that meant that some games that were basically finished were sitting on the side, while they had their lockdown secure QA processes focused on one or two more important games… Japan is still dealing with these issues so I don’t think those processes are going to open up any time soon.” “The game is done and Nintendo is holding it… whether or not Nintendo releases it now or later depends on other factors… I think that game is sitting in their pocket for whenever Nintendo decides it’s the right time, and Nintendo’s done this a lot recently so it’s not unusual, it’s not a sign of some bad thing happening, it’s not a sign of a lack of faith in Metroid… Nintendo can afford and that’s how they’re treating it.”
