Nintendo shipments: No for Metroid Prime Trilogy, yes for New Play Control! titles
Below 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.”
