Metroid Prime Trilogy bundle adds new Wii controls

Today, Nintendo revealed that on August 24th, fans of the infamous bounty hunter Samus Aran will be able to get their hands on a Metroid Prime Trilogy bundle, featuring new Wii adapted controls for the previous Gamecube installments.

Fans of the first and second Metroid Prime, which came out for the Gamecube in 2002 and 2006, will now be able to play as their favorite power suit rolling bounty hunter once again, with all new Wii motion controls, as Nintendo announces a Metroid Prime Trilogy bundle coming to the Wii console on August 24th.

Nintendo has stated that "each game maintains its original storyline and settings" as most of the new changes were made to the controls and graphics. The new Wii motion controls for Prime 1 and 2 will be similar to those used in 2007's Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, which was exclusive for the Nintendo Wii and will be included in the bundle. Also featured within the trilogy compilation will be new unlockable rewards, including music and artwork.
