The Nintendo Direct Event always holds a lot of promise as they usually deliver nothing but the best and the community expects nothing less.

RE: Prime Trilogy
Last I heard, Nintendo was busy working on Metroid Prime 1 to celebrate the game's 20th anniversary in 2022.
I'm not sure if we're getting a 'trilogy' or just a re-release of the first game. I'm leaning toward the latter, but I hope we get the former.

Originally released in 2002, Metroid Prime will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. And it is only fitting that Nintendo gives the classic a new edition and welcomes it back to Switch. Rogers also highlighted her excitement for a re-release of the entire trilogy, but the likeliness of only the first title of the series launching again is more.
Hearing the news of their favorite classic’s possible return, many fans couldn’t wait to play the GameCube title again. Some even expressed their concern regarding Nintendo pulling a Nintendo, making the beloved Metroid Prime only available for a limited time.
There has been no confirmation with regard to the remake so far. That said, the 40-minute live stream will definitely have some big revelation and it also might feature the upcoming Metroid Dread.
