 NINTENDO'S EPIC TRILOGY CONCLUDES WITH METROID PRIME 3: CORRUPTION    


First-Person Controls Immerse Players Like Never Before
   


REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 27, 2007 – Today's launch of Metroid® Prime 3: Corruption for Wii™ marks the end of a trilogy – and the start of the most active and dynamic Metroid adventure yet.  With the motion-sensitive Wii Remote, you become one with heroine Samus Aran's powerful arm cannon, while the Nunchuk can literally yank armor off enemies.    


"Metroid Prime 3 has a revolutionary control style that makes it easy for anyone to immediately jump into the action," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Now, an entirely new audience can experience this amazing first-person adventure."    


The rich story requires players to use their heads as much as their hands. Complex puzzles, tough enemies and new challenges put players inside the visor of the story's heroine. As deadly Phazon threatens to corrupt Samus, she harnesses its power and attacks her enemies with superpowered weapons. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption features voice acting, new bounty hunters and three adjustable control settings for players of all skill levels.    


Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, rated T for Teen, launches today exclusively for Wii. The game's launch represents the culmination of Nintendo's "Month of Metroid," which has featured free Metroid Prime 3: Corruption videos available for download in the Wii Shop Channel and the release of the classic Metroid® and Super Metroid® for the Virtual Console™. For more information about Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, visit www.Metroid.com.

The Newsbot was slow today, maybe it was playing MP3 and totally forgot to report a press release.

I won't get this until next week. I ordered it from Family Video since I can get it for only $40 instead of $54, the dowside is that the $0.99 shipping takes 5-10 business days.

You won't get it. Nintendo is playing a trick on everyone and is going to delay it to add KRAID.

I dunno what it is, but 1st party Nintendo releases, we tend to be blessed with on Mondays.  Every other game typically comes days late (if ever)... I like to think it's because Nintendo knows I work there.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I've been so broke for so long that i've given serious thought to panhandling on the subway..

There is no such thing as tax free money.

Also hooray for a two month delay until the European release! Everybody post spoilers because surely everyone has played through MP3 a month after release!

Maybe the euros will get the superior version where Samus TALKS and has a default difficulty setting that isn't geared towards NON-GAMERS.

8-) got mine at Wal*Mart last night after GameStop told me "oh, it's released Tuesday but shipped today, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Therefore, i'm knee-deep in MP3 goodness... and oh, it's good.
