Last week, Wii™ owners who have their systems connected to WiiConnect24™ were greeted by an ethereal blue glow alerting them Nintendo's Month of Metroid had begun. The WiiWare™ section of the Wii Shop Channel now contains the Metroid Prime 3 Preview, allowing Wii owners to view exclusive videos for the anticipated Metroid® Prime 3: Corruption game launching Aug. 27.

Metroid and Super Metroid are rated E for Everyone.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption features amazing first-person controls, and takes advantage of the intuitive, motion-sensitive Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers. This incomparable installment concludes the trilogy's storyline while introducing new puzzles, bigger adventures and more intense battles.
Media rave about Metroid Prime 3: Corruption's game play and revolutionary controls. Chris Kohler of Wired.com even calls it "a brilliantly designed game, with perfected Wii motion controls," while GameSpot.com's Brian Ekberg hails it as "...an intense and challenging game, one that isn't skimping when it comes to making the most of the Wii's various control possibilities."
