No one knows for sure, but self-proclaimed Nintendo insider Matt from IGN is saying so. Game|Life writes: “For many reasons, Metroid Prime 3 is considered the flagship title for Nintendo Revolution — at least in the West, where the first-person shooter is king. And Nintendo knows it — according to the intrepid editor of IGN’s Revolution channel, the game will be “full...
