"We were going to release them together but decided instead to release them separately for full price" seems so unlikely and yet so Nintendo.
Given all the rumours about MPT that have persisted for years at this point, I'm just going to wait for an official announcement before caring about this.
While another Trilogy release would be great value, I do think it would be a waste. On Wii it was in lieu of separate $20 budget re-releases for the three games - in Japan Prime 1 and 2 got 'Play on Wii' releases.
I know I never played through Prime 2/3 on my Wii disc. Too much content at once, most people would play through Prime 1 and move on. I did the same thing with many of the PS3 trilogy remasters (Devil May Cry, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia etc).

That would explain why they never released the trilogy. I know people will be pissed but to be honest, this will go better commercially even if it's just 1 game vs 3.
I'm afraid it will be pretty limited kinda like WW/TP/SS.
I doubt this is real.
The Trilogy version wasn't as good as the original release in my opinion, so this might actually be an improvement if it is something more substantial and real.

I don't want to believe it won't be the trilogy, but then again I kind of expected nintendo to try and monetize it as much as they could. Hopefully it's not true, I would much rather a trilogy remaster than a single game remake

Very surprised that they haven't just kicked Trilogy out the door at some point, but maybe it never made sense with their release schedule. Nintendo's very careful - perhaps to a fault - about parceling these things out rather than shotgunning 3-4 tentpoles onto the market at once.
Because nobody expects nintendo to make a full on remake, but more a remaster for a high price or at most
a remake in the Zelda OoT sense where it sticks really cleanly to the original and sells for full price (for the platform).
The other option was a port/remaster of the trilogy for full price, and that is something most people would not have a problem with...
If it gets a full on remake, count me in, but with where Metroid was standing just a few years ago, that sounds unrealistic.
Last year the only successfull (mildly) Metroid game since the Original Trilogy (Back on the Wii...) was the remake of 2,
and even that did not set the world on fire (bad timing i would say), and the trilogy/MP3 also did not sell corrent AAA levels of copies.
So to expect them to have a full on MP1 remake before 4 is out,... yeah, that does not make sense. Especially with the timing of the development reboot of 4.
Expect a remaster of 1 with some touched up textures, loadtimes, 2-3 controller options for 40-60€.
Edit: well, EatChildren has a great post what ...kinda sounds like a nintendo move.
Because (except for a bundle of two 3d zelda games they could easily sell separately) it's realistic, considering the direct only focuses on the games that will release in the next months.
Edit: oh, the smg2 dlc thing is also stupid
I'd be totally fine with just the first one. 2 and 3 are great but just give the OG full attention to make the remaster worth it.
You'll probably be a happy camper if this rumor turns out to be true, then 😎
Ah this is interesting, would match up with what NateDrake said about the scope of the project changing, if they do this then I'd expect something closer to big remasters of each title that are made specifically for Switch, with new textures and visual effects, rather than a HD port of the Wii trilogy.
I would love some kind of remake.
Just a port would be disappointing though. If you're going to port, at least include the trilogy...

Pretty much this. I'm sure some insider said that Trilogy is ready to go a while back. In any case, I'll wait until a formal announcement from Nintendo, otherwise likely to get hopes up for nothing.
