The Nintendo website has been updated with information regarding the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Talks of the trilogy coming to the Wii have been around for some time now. Nintendo released some information to pique our interest, so check out information about the game below.

Game Overview:

Metroid™ Prime 3: Corruption set a new standard for first-person motion controls in video games. Now it’s bringing those controls to the rest of the celebrated series, allowing players to experience the entire Metroid Prime story arc with the peerless precision of the Wii Remote. Nintendo announces Metroid Prime Trilogy, a new premium three-game collection for the Wii console that bundles all three landmark Metroid Prime games onto one disc and revamps the first two installments with intuitive Wii Remote controls, wide-screen presentation and other enhancements. Metroid Prime Trilogy will be available exclusively for Wii on Aug. 24 at a suggested retail price of $49.99.

Each game maintains its original storyline and settings, but now Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes let players use their Wii Remote to aim with precision as heroine Samus Aran. Based on the breakthrough control system that debuted in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, these new Wii controls bring an entirely new level of immersion and freedom to these milestone games.

First two GameCube titles get motion-sensing overhaul, bundled together with 2007′s Metroid Prime: Corruption in one $49.99 package.

While Nintendo fans are looking to the company’s press briefing at next month’s Electronic Entertainment Expo with hopes of new game announcements, the Wii maker today padded its release list by one more game. Or three, depending on how one looks at it.

There’s just more of her to love.

Nintendo today announced Metroid Prime Trilogy for release on the Wii in North America. The compilation will include 2007′s current-generation debut of the space-faring adventure franchise–Metroid Prime 3: Corruption–as well as revamps of the series’ two GameCube installments on a single disc. Originally released in 2002, Metroid Prime brought the series into 3D to overwhelming acclaim and was followed up two years later by the similarly lauded Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

The Conduit is one of the Wii’s few first-person shooters, and we managed to score some time on its 12-player multiplayer mode.

After only a single round of playing The Conduit’s multiplayer mode, it’s clear that it’s been heavily influenced by the Nintendo 64 classic GoldenEye. This is no bad thing, but in terms of look and feel, Voltage’s upcoming Wii first-person shooter feels very much like a spiritual successor to the Rare classic. Thankfully, the feature set is completely 2009, with 12-player online multiplayer, seven maps, unlockable player skins, and voice support using Nintendo’s WiiSpeak peripheral. In fact, it could be said that The Conduit is the most feature-packed online game for the Wii so far. We went hands-on with the game at Sega’s office in London, and had a chance to speak to developer High Voltage to find out more.

A 12-player online FPS for the Wii? Oh yes!
