Metroid Prime: Trilogy is a 2009 action-adventure game compilation developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It compiles three entries from the Metroid franchise: Metroid Prime (2002), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004) and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (2007).
Prime and Echoes, originally developed for the GameCube, were updated with features first implemented in Corruption, such as a control scheme based on the Wii Remote and Nunchuk and a credits system supported by the WiiConnect24 internet service.
Metroid Prime: Trilogy was released in North America in August 2009, followed by Europe and Australia in September and October. It was not released in Japan, where ports of Prime and Echoes were released separately as part of the New Play Control! series. In January 2010, Nintendo discontinued Trilogy in North America and Australia.
Metroid Prime: Trilogy was acclaimed, with praise for the new controls, updated presentation, credits system, and value for money. It was rereleased on the Wii U's Nintendo eShop in January 2015.
