Nintendo shoots down Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii rumor

Tyranitar24 | April 28, 2008 | News | Wii

You guys might have heard the rumor of a Metroid Prime Trilogy coming to the Wii, but it looks like Nintendo has denied any Metroid Prim Trilogy coming to the Wii. The rumors came about after three Metroid Prime developers left company Retro after being escorted off the premises.

Nintendo has denied internet reports that the Metroid Prime Trilogy in its entirety is coming to Wii.

According to GoNintendo, a tipster claimed that the computer system of a retailer had a new Wii game listed as 'Metroid Prime Trilogy'.

Internet speculation jumped to the obvious conclusion that Metroid Prime 1, 2 and 3 were being repackaged as one and the GameCube games were being revamped for the console.

But speaking to CVG, Nintendo labelled the rumour as "Purely rumour and speculation."

  For the trilogy maybe. But there's no saying whether or not some company will through out some sort of side game from the trilogy.

Maybe this is a good thing? We don't want the Metroid Prime series to go down with Mario. After you've been to Space, there's nothing else that you can do better, tbh.

They also denied the existence of the DS Lite two days before it was announced.
