Intro

With Metroid Prime 4 finally here, I wanted to answer one simple question. What is the smartest and cheapest way to play the full Metroid Prime trilogy in 2025?

Instead of guessing, I did the price hunting myself. I searched second hand markets, checked current retail listings and mapped out every realistic route from full retro setups to modern console hybrids and even the zero cost story only option.

This breakdown is the result. Real prices, real options and no wasted money.
