Metroid Prime Trilogy To Ship In Collector's Tin
« on: June 25, 2009, 03:24:04 PM »
Samus Aran brings sexy back with an awesome collector's tin.
 <a href=/newsArt.cfm?artid=18937>http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=18937[/url]

 Nintendo recently announced and released pictures of the box art for the upcoming release of Metroid Prime Trilogy for Wii. The game will be shipping in a special tin case with a cardboard sleeve. In addition, Nintendo will be including an art book with the game.    <P>
The Metroid Prime Trilogy hits shelves on August 24 and features Wii controls and achievements across all three games. It will carry a MSRP of $49.99.    <P>

This would be my PSN Trophy Card, but I guess I can't post HTML in my Signature. I'm the pixel spaceship, and I have nine Gold trophies.

A special edition version of a re-release of a sequel of which the first already saw a re-release.

This article is lacking information on how to obtain the Special Edition.

Does one have to pay more than $49.99?  Does one have to purchase the game at GameStop?

The orange bar is on the slip case, on the outside.

But the game itself is in a Cardboard sleeve?

They couldn't fit a regular game case inside the tin?

The orange bar sucks, otherwise it looks nice.  It really bugs me when companies do that.  Just make the little advertising bullet points a sticker on the shrink wrap.  Once the person has bought the game there is no point in having a little advertising blurb on their case.  They already bought it!

The worst offender was Zelda: Four Swords Adventures.  Nintendo of Canada had this little infactuation at the time with putting "New for 2004" on every game.  It was annoying enough but in this situation it was only on the case but not the cardboard box the whole game+cable bundle came in.  It was IMPOSSIBLE for customers in the store to see the ugly ad blurb.  The ONLY way to see it was if you had already bought the game and opened the box!  ARRRGH!!!

From what I understand, this is the standard. No need to preorder, buy at Gamestop, or spend more money. Though I do believe Gamestop is running a promotion where you get a free T-Shirt if you preorder.

Then it's hardly a "Special" Edition.  It's just an Edition.

DVD's do this all the time.

This trilogy was alreay well worth $50, Nintendo goes beyond the call of duty by throwing in a free art book and collectors case with it too.

I wonder if this is going to be a first edition-only thing, as I'm not going to have the money to purchase this when it comes out.  That's an aweful lot of expensive packaging for a continual run.
There was a Signature here. It's gone now.

I'm interested in the shirt.

I only borrowed Prime 3 and didn't beat it, I never played Prime 2, and I sold off Prime 1 after beating it. So this is a really great deal for me. The tin is a nice addition.

Besides the gold cart of OOT, when was the last time Nintendo made a special edition of anything?

Does the bonus OoT/Master Quest disk that came with Wind Waker count?

Majora did the same gold pre-order thing, and that box had a cool holo front. I think I saved that one when my parents convinced me to throw them all out.

I don't mean bonus disks, but a collectors edition of a new game. Forgot about Majora but still that was a LONG time ago.

Yeah, it seems that when Nintendo went over to optical media they replaced 'collectors carts' with pre-order bonus disks. Remember there was not only the OoT/Master Quest disk, but the Zelda Collection disk.

This is the first special disk/case I think Nintendo has done since they moved to optical media.

People always complain about Nintendo, but at least they don't charge 10-20 dollars more for a special edition. They could have EASILY charged that much for the OOT/Master Quest disk along with Zelda Collection Disk.

It has overarching achievments. That alone is all kinds of awesome.

I actually know of a forum that created their own forum-based achievments for Nintendo systems. You report in the post when you complete one of them and you get some points that are added to your total that is tracked on the OP. That is something I have considered starting here, but I don't want to try it until I get my own computer to spend time doing it on (ordering it today or tomorrow).

The achievements are great because they actually help you unlock stuff unlike ::cough Xbox 360::cough::.
