Nintendo shipments: No for Metroid Prime Trilogy, yes for New Play Control! titles
January 9th, 2010 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, WiiBelow are three responses composed by Nintendo customer service representatives. Unfortunately, Nintendo is no longer shipping additional copies of Metroid Prime Trilogy. However, one representative noted that New Play Control! titles are still being shipped to stores.
“Unfortunately, Metroid Prime Trilogy is no longer being shipped. Having said that, you may be able to find what you seek through the secondhand video game market.”
“Thanks for your e-mail. The earlier response regarding Metroid Prime Trilogy was correct: 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.”
“As to your second question, additional New Play Control! titles have not been announced. However, the original titles are still being shipped.”
Thanks to Scott for the news tip!

That last line regarding the new play control titles is the same thing they tell me every time I email them. They should have started out the new play control series with mario and zelda games.

Ha. I just bought a copy the other day. I looked all over for that bad boy. I thought that the collector’s edition version in the metal case was limited and that there would be a normal white boxed one eventually. I’d have been happy with either at this point.

My only question WHY CANT THEY RELEASE PIKMIN 2 New PLay Control in America??? Aggh!!!
By Ryan on Jan 9, 2010
I agree with Hejiru. They need to release New Play Control! Pikmin 2 soon. I’ve been wanting to get it since they announced it for Japan, (even though I own the gamecube one already
)

You Americans can have Pikmin 2 when we can have ExciteBots

NPC Pikmin 2 was never released in the US? Damn. Oh well, get Little King’s Story instead.
Does this news regarding Prime Trilogy affect Europe too? I have an extra copy of it so maybe it’d fetch a pretty penny.

@Gavin:
Little King’s Story doesn’t use the IR sensor though, and I thought NPC Pikmin used it…is that wrong?
By Gavin on Jan 10, 2010
You’re correct. LKS is all the more better for it though.
