Nintendo announced today that Metroid Prime Trilogy will grace the Wii on August 24, a three-piece compilation highlighting Wii remakes of both GameCube Prime titles.

While the core storyline and gameplay elements will remain the same, both of these former GameCube titles are being given a facelift in the mechanics department for their Wii debut. Controls have been retooled and revamped, now sporting the same level of motion-sensing interaction found in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. A 16:9 widescreen display option will be present as well.

Packing all three Prime efforts on a single DVD disc, the trilogy will carry a price tag of $49.99. Is that price justified for added waggle and display options? I’m inclined to say yes, seeing as Nintendo could potentially charge more by selling each entry as standalone offerings.

Additionally, those who play through each title will unlock extras on the disc such as artwork and music upon successfully completing certain objectives.
