Work on Metroid Prime 1 remaster started around 2017-18.
Original plan was to develop & release Prime 1 first. Then use Prime 1’s foundation (engine, tools, assets) to re-create Prime 2 + 3 later.
Nobody knows if plans were changed/axed after Covid. https://t.co/BsrPEhXrjd

Jeff Grubbs, the original leaker, also agreed that one title will be released as opposed to the trilogy. However, as of 2018, during the original leak, the whole trilogy was indeed planned for a remaster.
God dammit! I forgot to talk about Metroid!
I think that Nintendo will rerelease Metroid Prime 1 on Switch instead of Trilogy. It has been working on this for years, and when I first heard, everyone (including me) assumed it was the Trilogy.

Jeff Grubbs is a reporter for VentureBeat. He has quite a reliable track record and his corroboration of Rogers’ claims adds to the credibility of the information.
A large segment of the community is quite critical of Nintendo’s decision to remaster only the first game. The other games were to follow suit after the first title acted as a foundation. However, due to unknown reasons, this did not happen. Whether or not Nintendo intends to remake the other 2 titles, only time will tell.
