Proof from IGN, 1UP and even Nintendo
It was recently announced, and overturning the Redirect seems quite necessary in light of this new game. Chiefmartinez ( talk) 01:20, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
This doesn't warrant its own article because it's destined to either remain a stub or violate WP:CFORK. Please see the " Compilations get a separate article?" section at WT:VG and leave your comments there. - sesuPRIME talk • contribs 18:28, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
I had uploaded the officially distributed render of the box art, however, it was speedily deleted under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. I don't know what I missed out specifically, as I had copied relevant information from similar articles box art image files. If any one else wants to upload the artwork and have a go at filling in the fair use box better than I did, the source was Joystiq: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/24/metroid-prime-trilogy-packaging-cooler-than-a-chozo-suit/ but it's also available at IGN: http://uk.media.wii.ign.com/media/143/14352258/imgs_1.html. I just didn't want to crop the image myself. FabAndroid ( talk) 11:39, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
This is a bit of a nitpick, but I'm requesting that the name of the article be changed from "Metroid Prime Trilogy" to "Metroid Prime: Trilogy", as that is how it will be packaged and sold. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MDB913 ( talk • contribs) 20:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
I guess my question would be this. The game comes with alot of special stuff, art booklet, special tin, etc. But I have only seen it in this form. I have not seen it in a standard case or with no extra stuff to come with your purchase. So is it always going to be released with all the goodies our is this just a limited time offer? I hope somebody can understand what I'm trying to ask. Zabbethx ( talk) 18:26, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
In the IGN review ( http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/101/1017077p1.html), several differences (beyond the new controls) are pointed out that may or may not be worth mentioning in the article: Metroid Prime now makes extensive use of bloom lighting. (Mentioned in the video review) Metroid Prime included a bonus of the original Metroid on the disc, unlockable by completing Metroid Fusion and connecting it to the Gamecube, this bonus is left off the Trilogy, most likely due to its availability on Virtual Console. Completing Metroid Prime and connicting it to Fusion also allowed you to play in the Fusion suit in Prime, I have no idea if this is in the Trilogy, perhaps someone else knows? MP2: Echoes has had the difficulty of two bosses toned down. Technical glitches have been removed, making some speedrun techniques impossible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.172.227.209 ( talk) 23:02, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
(←) Eh. Your claim that I removed properly sourced information from the article in an attempt to somehow skew readers' opinions is completely unfounded and what is know here on Wikipedia as a personal attack. Look, I personally don't doubt that Nintendo censored "damn" in Prime 3, but what you or I think is true is irrelevant to Wikipedia. The very first line in WP:Verifiability, which is quite possibly the most important Wikipedia policy, is quoted below:
The original source that GoNintendo used was a YouTube clip, and YouTube is the king of all unreliable sources. As for your second post, no, I don't think that Samus' hair color and gender would need sourcing as nobody is likely to challenge that information. If you don't like Wikipedia's policies, then I recommend you go edit Wikitroid instead. - sesu PRIME 23:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
(←)In response to the recent deletion of the new category- I realize there are hundreds of graphical/textural/text differences, I was trying to cite game play changes, eg new animations to the US version and planned on keeping the category limited to that scope. In fact the changes I listed were pretty much all the "major" in game changes made; other than the Omega Pirate can now be damaged with the Power Bomb and Fission Metroids appear outside of the Impact Crater.
I was also hoping to list one for Echoes later on- guess that idea is down the toilet now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.33.105.199 ( talk) 10:57, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
While the game has widescreen mode and the actual gameplay is in the correct aspect ratio, the HUD, scan logs, text, images of buttons, scanning reticule, basically everything along these lines other than the 3D components and main aiming reticule are all stretched in widescreen mode. Should this be mentioned? Kiwisoup ( talk) 02:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Can we really use a forum post on VGChartz as the only citation for number of units sold? This seems very dodgy to me. I'll try looking for a more reliable source, but I can't promise anything? -- LostOverThere ( talk) 07:27, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Someone added in some info regarding that Metroid Prime: Trilogy will no longer be shipped, but the source the person provided was not reliable. Has this been stated in other sites, perhaps those that are considered or verified as reliable sources? Even so, it's a shame, MPT is amazing IMO. - ACDC GAMER 05:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I loved playing Metroid Prime 3, but never got around to the other two. Nice to see this in GAN. I'm placing this article on hold, however, to allow issues to be resolved (don't feel disheartened; the large majority is easy to fix). GA acceptance should follow suit.
Everything below should be easy to fix, thus why the article is on hold.
I've copy-edited the article as I read along. Issues I cannot resolve:
Strike off as you complete them. Feel free to question them or reply as well, as I'm watching the review page. Regards. EricLeb01 ( Page | Talk) 21:39, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

There is comment asking not to add Wii U as a platform because it is merely a re-release. I don't think that's a good reason not to add the Wii U as a platform. Care to elaborate? -- Neuhaus ( talk) 11:24, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
A lot of people have been asking things along the line of "If this is a collectors edition where is the normal version?" or "Why is it so expensive" The answer to these is fairly simple 1.The game is a collectors item altogether so there is no "standard" version, reason being that the item was made to be a collectors item so a normal version doesn't exist, the reason it is a collectors item is because a.It contains all 3 games from the previous console b. It has revised graphics c. It is steelbook. so there is no reason that there would be a standard version of it as that would go against its creation. 2.Its fairly pricy for many reasons a.Its steelbook b.Its all around hard to find. c.The game is no longer produced in the physical form d.While a fairly large amount of copies of this game does exist it still is a collectors edition and is still (depending on where you live) hard to aquire e.It contains new features and revised controls the previous game didn't have
That's all if you have any further questions feel free to ask, I know this is vague but I just wanted to address common questions, if you need specification please feel free to ask me! — Preceding

Trilogy can be bought (not for long any more), downloaded and played on WiiU, why should this not be listed in the Infobox? Why does it matter that this is another release? every release on another platform is obviously another release or re-release. What matters for the infobox is to quickly look up on which platforms the game officially is or was sold and is playable, again, at least the official ones. There are hundreds of games on Wikipedia with all their (re-)releases on their respective platforms listed as they should.
Okarina Of Time lists the GameCube and iQue Player as official platforms in the infobox, which is nothing more than a (re-)release of an unchanged rom file, therefore the iQue player shouldn't be mentioned in the infobox anymore. (even though it should)
One can clearly see this official WiiU game with the own eyes on the WiiUs very own WiiU-eShop to officially buy and download, which is not accessible on a normal Wii in any way. But Wikipedia somehow claims it does not exists there, feels so grotesquely weird and almost reality-denying strange. The reason "well, its a re-release" explains nothing. "Its a re-release, therefore it doesn't exists/and or is not purchasable/playable there, even though it is", is a terrible reason. The files or rom doesn't even have to be changed for it being another official release on another official platform.
I might be wrong about this, this surely has been discussed elsewhere so I would appreciate a link to the discussion to understand the reasoning behind it, I couldn't find much about this on my own. Carnifexx ( talk) 19:34, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
