Metroid Prime Trilogy Being Updated For the Wii, Due In August

Posted by Soulskill on Friday May 22, 2009 @05:10PM from the three-for-one dept.

On Friday, Nintendo revealed that the three Metroid Prime games will be re-released on a single disc this August for the Wii. The first two, originally developed for the Gamecube, will be updated so players can "use their Wii Remote to aim with precision." 1Up had this to say of their hands-on preview: "... The heads-up display and on-screen interface elements have been completely overhauled to work more effectively with the standard Wii control setup of remote and nunchuck; swapping visors is a quick point-and-click command, and toggling weapons is similarly easy. Although the control interface isn't perfect — pressing down on the D-pad to fire missiles still grates — it makes the GameCube titles feel much faster and more fluid overall."

I remembered when my roommate in college got Metriod for the GameBoy Color. He spent 48 hours hiding underneath this sleeping bag playing the game straight through, missed his finals for that semester, and was put on academic probation. Totaling the family van didn't help either.
