TheMetroid Prime Trilogy, being released by Nintendo on Aug. 24, is the same threePrimegames we played before just with Wii controls added to the two GameCube games in the pack,Metroid PrimeandMetroid Prime 2: Echoes. Why do I want it so bad then!? I’ve played all these games multiple times and it isn’t justthe sexy box artthat is attracting me. Maybe I just want another excuse to experience them again.

The trailer Nintendo put together isn’t helping me not spend my money on games I already own either. Not only does it bring back plenty of awesome memories from the games, but it also reminds us of how epic the score for the games were. In my opinion the games had some of the most atmospheric music in gaming and it fit so well withMetroid‘s solitary feeling. Hit the jump to be reminded why you want this bundle so bad.
