To turn you even have to point the Wiimote at the sides of the screen. The aiming and pointing works well, and it really does give Prime 3 a completely different feeling to it than previous games simply by having to use the Wii Remote to look around while moving. So the game essentially uses all the buttons on the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. The 1 Button goes into your menu/map/pause screen, and finally, you will have a few uses for the D-Pad as well, later on.

On the Wii Remote, you will use the Minus Button to access your different visors, and the Plus Button to go into Hyper Mode, which will be explained later. Quickly tilting the Wii Remote upward will make her jump while in ball form (No collecting a “Spring Ball” power-up necessary, it comes built in!). You use the Z Button on the Nunchuck to lock onto targets and the C Button to roll into Samus’ Morph Ball. To control Samus’ movement, you use the Control Stick on the Nunchuck, so obviously the Nunchuck is required to play the game. You aim in the game by simply pointing the Wiimote at the screen, and look around by moving it left, right, down, or up. The game fully makes use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers. Display and Sound options are as you’d expect.Īs should be obvious, the biggest change to Metroid Prime 3 comes from the controls. With Controls you can change the Sensitivity, switch the function of the A & B buttons (so B shoots instead of jumps, which some people prefer given the B’s more trigger-like feel), turn rumble on or off, as well as switch between “Lock-On” mode (like the classic games) and “Free Aim” which allows you to aim anywhere on-screen even if locked on to a target (so technically you can lock on to one thing but shoot at another), as well as switch the function of the Plus and Minus buttons.

The options menu has three categories: Controls, Display and Sound. More on how you earn them near the end of the review. There are four kinds: Red, Gold, Blue, Green and Black. Instead, you earn tokens (called “Credits”) by doing various things. Unlike the past games in the series, you will not simply unlock extras by playing the game. Extras is a very unique feature to Metroid Prime 3. Upon selecting a file you will see “Play Game”, “Options” and “Extras”. Pressing the B Button moves you back a screen, while A selects, and the bottom of the screen has buttons for erasing and copying files. Your file will display the percentage of the game completed, how much time you’ve spent playing, as well as how many energy tanks you’ve collected. A slight complaint from me with games in the past, which could get confusing particularly when you added multiple memory cards, each with three files on them, to the mix). Once you have entered the file select screen, you will select from one of three files and then attach your Mii to it (a very cool way of marking the files so you know who’s is who’s if more than one people are going to play the game. When you first fire up Metroid Prime 3 (from here on out also called “MP3” for short), you are greeted by a very slick intro and music that will immediately sound familiar in style but different from what you’re used to hearing in Prime games, as it has a grander feeling to it.

Personally I hope the series will return to it’s 2D roots in a console revival of the 2D Metroid-style. After 5 years of making Metroid, they are going to move onto something else. It has already been announced that Metroid Prime 3 is the last Metroid Prime game to be done by American developer Retro Studios (based in Texas), who has pumped out the last three titles in the franchise and will not be heading up another one, at least for the foreseeable future. Where will the series head after this? No one can say, but what can be said is that they certainly went out on a high note. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption marks the end of an era for Nintendo, who has finally brought the 3D First-Person Adventure Metroid series to a close. Saves via “save stations” on the maps or via your ship. Players: Single-Player with token trading between friends via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (but no online play, only trading with people on your friends list) Enjoy!ĭebut: August 27th, 2007 (US), October 26th (EU), November 8th (AU) Read our in-depth 20-page, spoiler-free review for much more information on the game.
