I think we should just see the Prime series as a separate entity and not look too deep into continuity with previous Metroids which really lacked any story. If you want to bring in older Metroids, I would use Zero Mission's story over the original Metroid.

So... IGN is supposed to have teh new hotness at midnight. http://wii.ign.com/

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #977 on:** August 21, 2007, 05:19:57 PM »

Yeah, at the crappy PST midnight... ;_;

Guess I'll just have to wait 'til morning!

I won't be going to IGN for a while I don't want spoilers before I get the game X_X

So, if in conceptual theory Dark Samus were to become an Aurora/MotherBrain somehow, that might be an ironic twist since the original Mother Brain was originally Chozo technology (can someone explain where they got that bit of info from), and the Metroids were created by the Chozo, and Dark Samus was a Metroid "Prime" that got all pissy and took out the Chozo's home world?

This is all so confusing? Seriously, it is worse than piecing together the Zelda storyline, or maybe not.

Mashiro · « **Reply #980 on:** August 21, 2007, 06:26:27 PM »

Lol good thing everyone put their previous theories in spoiler tags . . .

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #981 on:** August 21, 2007, 07:09:46 PM »

The old Muther Brain was repaired by replacing it with a new Aurora and rebuilding the surrounding infrastructure, duh.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #982 on:** August 21, 2007, 08:56:03 PM »

Oh man this game sounds sweet. I'm intrigued by the voucher and achievement systems.

Official site has now launched: http://wii.nintendo.com/site/metroidprime3/index.jsp

Now if Nintendo would only hype Metroid Prime 3, stupid Nintendo always screwing things up.

The source of the origins of Mother Brain is Metroid ZM manga. Now this is an official manga, taken as canon, is not some fan fic or anything, and I think its mentioned in the manual as well, I would have to check it out.

Basically all the Chozo did technologically went wrong, and thats why I guess they became nature lovers towards their end. All their mistakes were left though, from giant killer chozo statues to the metroids themselves.

I'm sure corruption will clarify things further... or make them more obscure

Anyone read IGN's impressions?

If Matt is a metroid fanatic, then it would make sense that he would be more critical than someone who hasn't played the games. I guess it's good news that he loves it!

Caliban · « **Reply #987 on:** August 22, 2007, 12:02:01 PM »

The artwork for this game is awesome...of course you will have to buy NP so that you can see it for yourself, but hopefully they will add it as an unlockable bonus like they did for MP1 and MP2E.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #988 on:** August 22, 2007, 12:22:48 PM »

There is unlockable art, yes there is... =D

Metroid Cometh.

For those who are playing before I can, this one's for you -- "May the rats eat your eyes!..."

Judging from Cassie's impressions, he's as gitty as a schoolgirl over this one. I hope it just plays as well as his impressions. We need a Bioshock-like experience on the Wii...for those of us who don't have an XBOX 360 and are loyal Nintendo fanboys.

I read the IGN article. The last sentence made me lawl.

Might one of these brainy creatures amount to the mother of all enemies? You're going to have to play to find out.

PLEASSEEEEE don't post stuff from Matt without spoiler tags, I'm intentionally avoiding IGN for that very reason X_X.

Stupid Matt I know for a fact now there will be mother brain in the game. My life is ruined RUINED. ::runs off crying:

UERD · « **Reply #992 on:** August 22, 2007, 03:50:49 PM »

OOOPS.

I thought we had already established that fact in the other thread. Sorry, Mashiro.

although it was nice of you to blame Matt and his own spoiler-tag-less impressions article

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #993 on:** August 22, 2007, 04:11:38 PM »

Don't be deceived, UERD!

Zeebees gone? Mother brain destroyed? Twice? Np! There's plenty more on other planets!

Mashiro · « **Reply #994 on:** August 22, 2007, 04:33:49 PM »

It's ok UERD I was just over-exagerating

but yeah I hate when people who play the game hint at stuff without spoilers. Even though we KNOW there are thousands of potential mother brains on other planets we don't know (even if it seems likely) that we will encounter one in MP3 though it seems likely with Matt's "tone" in that sentience haha.

UERD · « **Reply #995 on:** August 22, 2007, 04:58:24 PM »

Well he said he was only done 1/3 of the game when he wrote the article so he could be just pulling stuff out of his rear

.

plus you got me to FINALLY figure out how to use spoiler tags...it took a while.

No, he said that they were only allowed to write a preview from the first third of the game, but they had finished corruption in full after READ SPOILER IF YOU DESPERATELY WANT TO KNOW 20 spectacular hours.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #998 on:** August 23, 2007, 07:23:22 AM »

wow, that's 17 hours more of good content than Twilight Princess had!

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #999 on:** August 23, 2007, 07:23:23 AM »

Ok...20 hours is not a spoiler, so I am just going to out right say that.

And, 20 hours is really a good bit of gaming for an action adventure game, and really puts it close to length of some Zelda games and other adventure games of that elk.

As for action games, 20 hours is really quite good.

I am really curious about the story in this game...I think it has more potential than any other Zelda game to date, and I am quite excited to see what Retro is able to do in their final chapter.
