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...
Nintendo Power calls Metroid 3 “Incorruptible”
From the 10/10 review… Since its introduction, gamers have seen great potential in the Wii remote as a natural controller for first-person action games. But while several titles have pulled off the method adequately, Corruption is the first that doesn’t leave any room for you to consider whether it would be better with a traditional controller…. the system works impeccably…...
Metroid 3: Darker, more mysterious, and the marketing’s just fine
Tycho over at Penny Arcade sums it up nicely: I keep hearing that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption isn’t being promoted very well, but the person saying this always seems to know about it, and then when people share this complaint in the thread those people also seem to be “in the know.” It ships on the twenty-seventh of August, if you weren’t aware – but since you almost ...
Wired: “Buy Super Metroid, Jerks”
Wired’s Chris Kohler likes Super Metroid. A lot. Strangely, him and I are sort of in the same boat. I’ve never played Super Metroid but absolutely love Metroid: Zero Mission. Behold the persuasion: Virtual Console’s winning streak hits six weeks with the release of Super Metroid, aka One Of The Best Games Ever. I actually was late to the party on this one. I’d played Metroi...
Metroid Prime 3 gets its first perfect score
The upcoming issue of Nintendo Power allegedly gives Metroid Prime 3 a perfect 10/10 score based on the following: First Wii game that you couldn’t confuse graphically with last-gen Great artwork Incredible feeling of immersion Flawless level design; tons of freedom to explore but you always have the feeling that you’re at the right place at the right time. Sounds like the game does a ...
Perrin Kaplan IS Samus Aran
Well, that’s not quite true. Perrin Kaplan is merely Nintendo’s marketing guru (for now) and has a few tidbits to offer about Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Kaplan via Cubed: “…we still have a lot of our more traditional marketing efforts planned. People will see it all shortly, from ads to many of the usual tactics we use to support our key products. Plus: a few more surpris...

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption features amazing first-person controls, and takes advantage of the intuitive, motion-sensitive Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers.

Nintendo to release Metroid, Super Metroid this month?
Rumor has it that both Metroid and Super Metroid are on their way to the virtual console in the coming week. Scoop me Kotaku! With Metroid Prime 3: Corruption just a few short weeks away from release on the Wii, it looks like Nintendo is set to ramp up with hype with a pair of Virtual Console releases. Images for both Metroid for the NES and Super Metroid for the SNES have appeared on the VC web s...
Comment Of The Week – Kale on BioShock vs Metroid Prime 3
Infendo reader Kale wins the coveted Comment Of The Week award, with his comparison of BioShock and Metroid Prime 3. Last night, I played both Bioshock on the 360 and Prime 3 on the Wii. I played Bioshock for about 2 hours… It was okay (definitely not a perfect 10 game, Game Informer”¦.), but suffers some serious art direction issues, janky animations, and none of the voices seem to match th...
