Dear Reader:
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption info (storyline spoilers, gameplay details)
I have no idea why both of these stories were posted just today. It seems they are from older play sessions…very strange. There is new info, but from play time awhile back.
Two articles popped up recently which discuss Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. According to GamePro, Nintendo held a invite-only gaming session where they showed off Corruption, and other games (so it seems). Both articles discuss playtime with MP3:C. I will grab a few quotes from each article, and link to the full piece.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Definitely stole the the show. The graphics looked amazing — better than Halo 2 on the Xbox without a doubt — and the levels showed off sparkling details, proving the Wii is far more powerful than the Gamecube. Out of all the games we played, the Wii controller seemed most at home with Metroid.
“Corruption” takes full advantage of the first-person perspective to make you part of the action. There’s also a new hyper mode in which Samus can fill up her phazon supply to a certain point to push her into a heightened period of speed and power. Push the phazon limit too far and it will overload her armor and you’ll be seeing a game over screen. Finally, word is that at long last Samus’ ship will be used during gameplay, an intriguing twist that should cause the saliva glands of “Metroid” fans to work overtime.
Nintendo is keeping other details, such as any information about the long-sought online multiplayer, under wraps. Originally planned as a Wii launch title, “Metroid Prime 3″ currently has no hard release date, but Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime has said the game will be released sometime after March.
