At long last, Metroid Prime 3 is coming to Japan

Metroid Prime 3, one of the most awesome shooters of 2007, is finally hitting Japan on March 6th. According to Kotaku, Metroid would be worth ¥6,800, which is roughly $64. That’s a big leap from the $49.99 price tag we’re used to.

Metroid’s journey to Japan has been a long one. It first came out in North America last August 27, came out of Europe last October 26, then made its way to Australia on November 8.

Funny how a franchise originally created by the Japanese ended up getting the most-recent release last.
