While Japanese gamers have been enjoying the Wii ports of Metroid Prime 1 and 2 and North American gamers have been eagerly awaiting Metroid Prime Trilogy, Europe has been more or less left out of the loop. No more. Nintendo of Europe has announced that Metroid Prime Trilogy will be released in Europe on September 4 of this year, less than two weeks after the US release.

Metroid Prime Trilogy will include Metroid Prime 3 and the Wii ports of Metroid Prime 1 & 2 which feature full motion controls in the vein of Prime 3, as well as the achievements system present in Prime 3. Even better, it will also include the sexy art book already announced for North America. Best value since The Orange Box? I think so.
