Metroid Prime 1 and 2 getting remade for Wii
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
The exceptional controls of Metroid Prime 3 may have prompted this latest news – Re-releases of Metroid Prime 1 and 2, now made with the unique Wii controller in mind. This fits in perfectly with Nintendo’s announcement last night of remaking some GameCube titles such as Pikmin. In addition to Metroid Prime 1 and 2 and the other titles announced last night, Chibi-Robo, Pikmin 2, and Mario Power Tennis are being remade as well. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat will begin the lineup of remade titles in Japan on December 11 followed by Pikmin (3,800 yen, 2000 less than the average first-party Wii game) on December 25.
