    Metroid Trilogy Preview: The Game So Nice, You Can Play It Thrice

    Surprise! The rumors that all three Metroid Prime games would receive a compilation release in the US with the "Wii-applied" control scheme were true. More »

    Metroid Prime Phazon Suit Statue

    First 4 Figures have done very good things with the Metroid license, from the classic Varia Suit to the sexy Zero Suit Samus, but their latest creation leaves their previous efforts in the dark. Phazon Suit Samus. Being infected with a glowing mutagen has never looked so good! More »

    What Are You Playing This Weekend?

    With a trip to Tokyo via Los Angeles just around the corner, I'm going to have to find something to keep myself occupied in between failed attempts at sleeping and demanding another serving of alcohol from the sky waitress on my long flight. Picross DS helped while away the 14 hour trip to Leipzig, but I'll be (finally) picking up Jeanne d'Arc for my next leg of travel. I don't expect this weekend will leave much time for gaming, so I'll probably only find a few hours to dedicate to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in between packing, cleaning, brushing up on conversational Japanese and other obligations. Maybe some of this week's recently released demos will get some "me time." More »

    What Are You Playing This Weekend?

    After last night's monthly gaming get together Geek Night, which included playing plenty of EA's skate (poorly), the Call of Duty 4 beta, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and lots of BioShock, I've got an action gaming itch to scratch. That's why I'm firing up the old Xbox for some Otogi and tackling the last chapters of Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Both have been on my completion backlog for a long time now—never finished the original Xbox Ninja Gaiden—and a quiet weekend with lots of swordplay sounds just magical. More »

    What Are You Playing This Weekend?

    Having just returned from Germany last night, freshly ill from too little sleep, I'm most likely going to be playing a Circadian rhythm game with my mind and body. Presumably, I'll get back in the groove just in time to go to Tokyo and muck it all up again. In the digital world, I'll be playing some Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and possibly even a little Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix online. I'll be getting my ass kicked, of course, as I've never been that good at the game. More »

    Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Impressions

    Let's face it - if you loved Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, odds are you're going to be buying Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Wii no matter what I say here. I could spend several paragraphs detailing how badly the game controls, how shoddy the graphics are, or how boring the gameplay is and you'd still be on your way to the store with a pocketful of cash and a gleam in your eye. Luckily for you, all of those statements would be lies. Personally I didn't find the first two Metroid Prime games to be all that much fun, which is why I am utterly surprised to admit that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is one of the best games I have played on a Nintendo console in ages.

    Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Drop Day

    It may not hit Europe until late October, but Metroid Prime 3: Corruption finally gets its release. Yes! Soon people will be using their Wiis to play an actual game. It's due in stores today, and the title's website has gone live. There's a new MP3 ad with those Wii-mobile dudes as well as other stuff to click on. Anyone picking this up? Personally, my Wii is starved for Something. Anything. More »

    Week In Games: Gundam Corruption 08

    This week represents a late summer perfect storm of video game release hype. With a series of massive releases hitting store shelves this week, including Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Lair, Blue Dragon and Warhawk, one can hardly believe this is August, not the middle of November. More »

    A Box Full Of Corruption

    Today I am a man. I spent a good two years watching Crecente unbox happy things at his palatial mountaintop abode with envy in my heart, and now, thanks to convenient GC 07 scheduling, it is my turn. *opens box, takes picture* There you go! Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, a T-shirt several sizes too small for me, and a lapel pin, to symbolize...I dunno, the guy Samus took to the prom. I'll fool around with the game a bit in my very limited free time this evening, and maybe post some impressions tomorrow when you are all too busy buying the game to read them.

    Nintendo To Unleash Metroids On Virtual Console Soon?

    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 server and spotted by an eagle-eyed NeoGAF poster. Another image for Sega's RPG Shining In The Darkness has also recently been added, indicating that it too may soon join the download service. More »

    No Online Multiplayer For Metroid Prime 3

    This won't come as a surprise to just about anyone following the development of Wii-bound sequel Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but Retro Studios president and CEO Michael Kelbaugh confirms it—there will be no online multiplayer component for the game. It was never announced, nor hinted at, but I'm sure there are some who demand answers (dammit!). Kelbaugh told GamePro that "We only have so many resources [and we] opted to devote those resources to making a better single-player experience." Fair enough. More »

    Metroid Prime 3 Corruption Box Art With Samus, Samus and Samus

    The box art for Nintendo's first game of The Big Three, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, is now available for your expert-level box art critique. While many will agree that it is rich with Samus and her various grotesque mutations, what I'm sure we'll all disagree on is whether it's less or more hideous than the Kotaku redesign. Personally, I'm not a fan, as my appreciation for the typeface arts has grown to the point where I'm under the delusion I know what the hell I'm talking about. However, I am well aware that the extent to which I'll actually view this box art is the sum total of about ninety seconds of my life. More »

    Call In Air Strikes in Metroid Prime 3

    Planet Gamecube has an interview up with Retro Studios on the upcoming Wii launch title, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. There's some good stuff here... for one, we were pleased to read that Samus will be getting layered beam effects back, a la Super Metroid, instead of the weapon switching of the last two games. But does this sound cool or what? More »
