'''''Metroid Prime: Trilogy''''' is an action-adventure video game compilation developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the [[Wii]] video game console. It features ''[[Metroid Prime]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' on a single dual-layer disc. The former two, which were originally released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], have been updated with many of the features that were first implemented in the latter. It was released in North America on August 24, 2009, Europe on September 4, 2009, and in Australia on October 15, 2009. It comes packaged in a Steelbook case (only available in the North America release), contains an art booklet, and includes other features; it is one of three Wii games to come in a non-white keep case (the others being ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[Zangeki no Reginleiv]]'').

The version of Metroid Prime 3 in Trilogy is more or less a direct copy of the original Wii release. However, it uses the Metroid Prime Trilogy menus, achievements, and saving system; and it has extended versions of the Bryyo music tracks to make them less repetitive.

Problems

Savestates

Using savestates in MP3 will crash Dolphin. Use the in-game saving to avoid any problems.

Scanning

The scan visor will not work with EFB to Texture. Use EFB to RAM to make it functional.

Wiimote Lag

The game may experience a large amount of Wii Remote lag. Use "Alternate Wiimote Timings" in the game settings to correct it.

Audio Problems, Stalls

The game will have numerous audio problems with DSP HLE, and it may stall out during the "Input Identity Code" sequence at the start of the game. Use DSP LLE to avoid these problems. Note that some BGM problems may occur even with DSP LLE.

Dynamic Loading Issues

Metroid Prime 3, like all Metroid Prime games, uses dynamic loading to load areas constantly. On the Wii, it creates the appearance of no loading whatsoever. However Dolphin has some problems with this feature, and "studders" as it loads new areas. This is most apparent when moving through areas quickly, forcing it to load constantly. There is currently no fix for this problem, but, while it may be very annoying, it is not game breaking. Use "Speed Up Disc Transfer Rate" in the game settings to alleviate the problem somewhat. It does not correct it completely, but it helps.

EFB to Ram Pixelation Glitches

With EFB to Ram active, large pixelated areas may appear in the frame during camera movement. To avoid this problem, use the D3D11 graphics backend.
