If there’s one thing the video game industry loves, it’s trilogies. From Mass Effect and The Witcher to even Final Fantasy 7 Remake, some of the most beloved game series of all time have been doled out in three parts. It’s easy to see why the format is so popular as it lets developers draw out a story, and have extra time to make each entry feel new and different. What might surprise you, though, is that the quintessential video game trilogy lies on, of all systems, the Nintendo Wii. The original Metroid Prime was a near-perfect video game, but fifteen years ago Nintendo wrapped up the Prime trilogy and put it in one package on the Wii, making it more obvious than ever that Metroid has the golden answer on how to craft a three-part experience.
