This is a really good deal. Hopefully the rewards will give a bigger reason to play.
I only played the first one and the amount of backtracking was ridiculous. I still don't own a wii and despite this being a great deal really isnt a reason for me to go out and buy one either.

Awesome! I think playing all three back to back would be seriously epic. I'd have to schedule a weekend around it though.
HMPH. What's Dunaway doing within three miles of this announcement? They should fly Perrin Kaplan over and stick a staff badge on her for when it's good news.
More fps goodness with more fps controls?! While this is pretty cool and will probably make Metroid Prime even better, but who hasn't played this game already? Would you re-buy the game just for the sake of better motion controls?
I still have Metroid Prime 3 wrapped in plastic, sitting in my gamning cabinet waiting to be played. I might have to sell it on eBay or Cragslist and buy this Trilogy compilation instead. It sounds freaking INCREDIBLE!
@Coco: Me neither. I own all three and having MP3 controls in the first two would be boss.
But dammit, why couldn't they do this pack-in deal with the other games?! Pikmin 1+2 for Wii would've been even better news.

Having missed Metroid Prime 2 and 3 I can say in all honesty that this makes me almost rock hard to see.
Guess I was the only one who liked the gamecube controller method over the wii method.
Please me the wii mote controlls are optional.

@Chronic Logic, yes I would! I've got MP1, but I can't get used to the controls enough to actually want to keep on playing. Don't get me wrong; I love the game so far, I just can't play it with the setup I've got now. DO WANT!
I'm not excited about this. While I love the First Metroid Prime game the 2nd and 3rd one left much to be desired. 2 and 3 were technically solid games but they lacked the imagination and atmosphere that went into the first game. They weren't bad, just progressively worse and dead.
I don't blame Retro for that. They did a fantastic job. I blame Nintendo. While the first Prime game did set up for a sequel I don't think Retro wanted to do it right away. I think after the critical and mild financial success of the first Prime Nintendo forced Retro into the sequels when Retro probably wanted to take a break and make another game or two before returning to the Metroid series. This is kinda proven by the fact that three high ranking Retro employees left Retro after their contractual obligations to finish the Prime Series was up.
I might be interested if they put Kraid back in 1 (check out it's Wiki page. There is a screenshot of Kraid in the Phazon Mines. he was apparently supposed to be in it but was cut from the final game due to time constraints). Otherwise this is a pass for me.
P.S. Despite what I said about 2 and 3 there are things I like about them. I like 2 for it's massive focus on the Morph Ball. I always thought the Morph Ball wasn't being used to it's full potential in other games and I was glad to see it used so much (seriously, like half the boss battles in 2 are spent in Morph Ball mode) and so well in 2. While 3 was the most empty and boring of the Prime games I do love the controls. It feels really great to point at the screen and have it be so precise with the aiming. That thing where you actually have to be slightly outside the screen before Samus turns will probably be copied in all future Wii FPS's.

While this is all well and good I really hope this is NOT the news that Nintendo had planned for the "core" fan base.
As what Nintendo calls me; the "core" gamer, I guess that means I want a deep/immersive/enthralling experience. And while I do get that with Metroid Prime, I do not want to re-buy all my old games to have to get that true (read: core) gaming experience.
Nintendo already gave us Virtual Console, but not for the reasons you think. It's the only way they can appease the "core" by saying 'Look! We have all your old favorites! So leave us alone about core games, we are too focused on the casuals!'
The Conduit can't come soon enough.

Sold. And agree with Rammstein: this news is awesome, but hopefully it's not them throwing a bone to those of us that aren't shelling out cash for Carnival Games and Wii fit.
"All right! I personally prefer to buy the games individually but, hey."
Wow some people will is find anything to complain about when it come to Nintendo. Why would you want to buy them individually? So you have to pay more money for them? I guess these tough economic times hasn't hit you yet then.
This is a great deal, and I doubt that you'd ever see Microsoft package up a newly enhanced version of the "Halo series" for $60 on the 360. But then again they'll just put out a expansion pack for $60, and everyone will buy it with no hesitation, or trepidation what-so-ever!

@ Black Nexus the GC Metroid Prime games were released as New Play Control games in Japan already. We are most likely just getting this trilogy disc instead of 3 separate discs.
I could totally see Nintendo sucking dick at E3 again and then using this announcement as evidence of their "devotion" to the core gamers that have supported them so well all these years.
That would really suck.
That would really suck.
@ EternalDeathSlayer.... so what you are saying is that even if nintendo is offering blowjobs you will still complain ? :P
I know Dyson can't wait.
I am probably most impressed by the price. Definitely picking these up again. This is great. I hope they all get great new cover art that unifies them, and a nice box. Also, does 'enhanced presentation' imply that the graphics have been redone? We knew that the GC games were coming but as far as I knew all that was announced was the 'achievements and control' changes...If new graphics I'll die (even though they looked amazing, and in some spot better, already)
yeehaw.

Damn, I was just interested into playing the first one again with new controls. Metroid Prime 2 was not very cool and I already have 3.
I would play the first game again with Wii controls. I love how Prime 3 felt. Are they releasing the games separately as well?
Holy crap, all on one disc?!? That's awesome, but I really hope they run okay like that... Maybe Nintendo should go with dual-layer just to be safe. I understand the GameCube discs were like half of a regular DVD, but wow. I'll rebuy them just because of that convenience alone.

Just like Nintendo is putting out ports of old Gamecube games and people will gobble it up with no trepidation whatsoever ^_^
Why attack MS anyway? A person dislikes the Wii and they are automatically a 360 fanboy? Grow up kid.
And this is a rip-off, MP1 is 8 years old, MP2 about 5, most games can be bought for 20 for your backwards compatible Wii, I found the Wiimote controls to add nothing, its just floaty and annoying and doesn't offer the stability of a mouse, more importantly enemies don't take damage based on where you shoot them, shooting a pirate in the head or leg will make them go down in the exact same way and MP1 or and 2 didn't have a gimmick like that wire thingy that 3 had.
Course I imagine people will gobble it up and demand more, then other companies will get in on the act then whenever the "core" argument comes up we'll get "YOU GOT THE PRIME TRILOGY STFU".
Just remember to pick up Punch Out with your ports, please.

I like. I never bought Prime 1 or 2 and I loved MP3, so this sounds like a fun time! And all on one disc? Fantastic. I heard Prime 2 wasn't that good though... All I need now is for it to include MP Hunters.
That's a pretty good fucking deal. And motion controls for 1 & 2.
I'm not sure how you could complain, unless you don't like the games themselves.

I think this is pretty damn cool. Definitely something I'll pick up since I never played through 1 and 2 because I hated the controls on GC.
While I'm not a huge fan of the series(I've played the first and third ones), I do think this is really cool of them to do. Especially because so many people love the MP games; it's just really cool that they're putting together a package that has such great value. Good job Ninty.
Provided it includes the linking unlockables from MP1 (NES Metroid and the Fusion Suit) and I can get decent trade-in credit from my old copies, I'll be all over it.
I'll get it if I can shave a few titles off my backlog before it comes out. I missed out on Prime 1 and 3 and having played the Japanese version of this at a friend's house I like it a lot more with these controls.
"Rip off"? Nintendo is asking $50 for three full games, including the best FPS on Wii and two of the defining titles from last gen with updated graphics and massively improved controls. Walmart is currently selling MP3 alone for $49.88... so how are we getting ripped off again?
If you don't want it, then don't buy it. But please save your delusional whimpering and fanboy bitching for someone who cares instead of posting it here.
