Collectors Scramble for Discontinued Metroid Prime Collection Already

Collectors Scramble for Discontinued Metroid Prime Collection Already

Feb 01

Nintendo recently cancelled their atypical Collector’s edition, Metroid Prime Trilogy, which is comprised of all three Metroid Prime games, with the first two reconfigured for Wii resolution and Wii remote controls. It has been reported that this edition sold just less than 500,000 copies. But with fewer and fewer retail outlets having the game available, the quality of the collectors edition in steel case, and 3 high quality games on one disk, the frenzy to own Metroid Prime Trilogy has truly begun.

As of 12:00 P.M. PST on February 1st, the trilogy (though it can be found for less) was selling for as high as 89.95 for an unopened game on EBay. Nintendo may have to rethink their decision not to release any more of this edition, since it appears that people didn’t know what they were missing until it was too late.
