Talk about a shocker for Metroid fans, Metroid Prime Trilogy has gone out of print as of Monday. The blog Coffee With Gamers reported that it was no longer being sold on Amazon. They decided to ask Nintendo themselves about the possible report. The Big N had this to say:
“….it is no longer being shipped. When first introduced, it was announced that there would be limited availability. However, a reason for this was not announced. That being said, you may still be able to locate a copy via stores that specialize in previously played or used games.“
Well, all I have to say is wow. Considering how other Wii titles with New Play Control! are still being stocked on store shelves, those who didn't have the chance to pick up this "Collectors Edition" will soon be out of luck; including myself. There is no word on whether or not a non-collectors edition will replace the current title, but I say consider yourself lucky if you were able to pick up this collection of the Metroid Prime series. Having the opportunity to play Prime 1 and 2 in widescreen format and Wii motion controls is a must and anyone who is a Metroid fan should look for any remaining copies.
