The North American physical release of Metroid Prime: Remastered has reversible cover art. In the same way that the North American release's cover art was remade, the reversible cover art features a remake of the artwork used for the Japanese release of the original game. Likewise, the Japanese physical release contains reversible cover art featuring the North American remade art.

In another reply I was suggested to inquire directly with the reason behind the remasters that can be submitted as their own page. But I guess it's all dependent on the game type category that I was also shown: https://github.com/twitchtv/igdb-contribution-guidelines/wiki/Game-Types

In a reply to what I asked those that run IGDB, they stated that games like Metroid Prime Remastered do not get ingested by VGFacts due to being remasters, despite there being remasters which are able to have their own VGFacts page, of which you can find when you type in things like HD and Edition and Deluxe into the search engine.

I can see why the report to have this submission also be displayed on a page for Metroid Prime Remastered was turned down, since it currently doesn't come up in where you add in the name of a game for submitting as trivia, despite having an IGDB page.
