Three reasons Metroid games aren’t selling
Okay, so Metroid isn’t exactly a commercial flop. But if Samus ever decides to spend some social time with Mario and Link, she’d better keep a thick skin; they’d chuckle at her comparatively modest sales. Within the overall industry picture, the Metroid series has always been successful. But by Nintendo’s standards, it has failed to captivate the amount of players the compa...
The release you’ve been waiting for…
I know a lot of people felt sore that us Wii owners here in Japan got Super Smash Bros. Brawl a little bit early, but I thought it’d make you all feel better to let you know that Metroid Prime 3 Corruption just hit Japan a few days back. That’s right, a 6 month delay! And what did they spend all that time doing? Adding online play? Nope. How about Japanese voice-overs? Nah- it’s ...
Medal of Honor controls better than Prime 3?
It does according to IGN’s Matt Casamassina: I just want to put it out there: Medal of Honor Heroes 2 officially beats the pants off Metroid Prime 3 in the FPS control department. This is the new Wii benchmark, period. Not even close. Seriously. Wait until you get a load of how beautiful the controls are A first-person shooter on Wii with better controls than Metroid Prime 3, not to mention ...
G4TV’s Sessler pans Corruption controls
While the tension of Samus Aran’s latest battle with the Mother Brain is still tantalizing the gamer nerve, and while the epic conclusion of the tale of universal phazon corruption is still fresh in the memory, dust off that GameCube controller and give the original Metroid Prime a spin. Really, go ahead. Loaded up? Wonderful. Now blast through the introductory space station for a moment; if...
Metroid Prime 3 ‘Dread’ reference a ‘coincidence’
Lovers of a Metroid 2D revival were hit with a setback today as a reference first pointed out by IGN’s Matt Casamassina was squelched in an MTV interview with Retro. MTV: What’s the story behind the apparent reference in “Metroid Prime 3? to “Metroid Dread,” the rumored but never-confirmed 2D game some fans hope is being made at Nintendo? Pacini: “It’s not what you think it mean...
Will PS4, Xbox 3 have motion/pointer controls?
Having fallen in love with Metroid Prime 3’s vastly superior first-person controls, I’ve gotta ask: {democracy:16}
Metroid ‘unlike anything experienced’ in games
Just what does the Associated Press, the world’s largest news service, have to say about Metroid Prime 3? The tactile sensation of flicking the nunchuk to throw a grapple beam and yank something off a wall is unlike anything I’ve experienced before in a video game. Instead of tapping a button to pull a lever, simply twist and move your hand around to pull it, like you would in the real...
Dual thumbsticks are for the birds, Metroid Prime 3 delivers
Just got my mitts on Metroid Prime 3 this morning: in a word, engrossing. Prime 3 controls feel like butter. Having hated them before, I now officially loathe dual thumbsticks when it comes to console shooters. The Wii Remote works so well, I literally remain on the edge of my seat because the action is so engaging.
Nintendo: We’re ignoring someone? Really?
IGN just blew the doors off of the airlock and bestowed a 9.5 Incredible rating on Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. A four page review accompanies said rating. I fully expect every other “media outlets” out there to do the same in the coming days and weeks. But something has been tickling the back of my mind today, and I can’t quite place it. Something about Nintendo ignoring a certa...
