Seven years was a long time ago, Metroid Prime, but you're still looking good. Have you had some work done? Maybe gone under the knife for Retro-fitted motion controls?

I must get back to work, but it was nice to see you and your younger siblings again. Can you all stop back around August 24? It'd be nice to catch up with the three of you in one go, and it'd be that much easier (and cheaper) if you came together. It'll be fun! We'll play some Wii, maybe mess around with pointing and waggling, and see what happens.

(Packing all three entries of Retro's shooter-adventure series on one disc, Metroid Prime Trilogy hits the Wii on August 24, with the studio having added the motion-centric Wii controls of Prime 3 into the previously GameCube-only Metroid Prime 1 and 2.)

Nintendo today announced the Metroid Prime Trilogy bundle, a compilation of the two GameCube Metroid Prime titles and the Wii's Prime 3, for release on August 24.

Priced at $49.99, the collection puts all three games on the same disc, with Metroid Prime 1 and 2 updated to utilize the motion-centric Wii controls of Metroid Prime 3. Unlockable rewards, including music and artwork, have also been added.

Nintendo was clear that "each game maintains its original storyline and settings" as most of the changes relate to controls or graphics, with Retro Studios, which developed the entire first-person adventure trilogy, having handled the compilation. The first Prime entry hit GameCube in 2002, with the second in 2004 and MP3 debuting on Wii in 2007.
