The Galactic Federation’s Base Sector Zero is under attack by Space Pirates. Samus
must boot up the generator to restore the defense systems. But at the end of her path,
someone awful is waiting for her.
The war initiated by Dark Samus and the Space Pirates rages across many planets as
they attempt to corrupt each with Phazon seeds. Players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to
explore alien landscapes, hunt for weapons and information, and destroy the seeds. Saving
the planets from Corruption isn’t enough, though. Eventually, players must take down
Samus’ mortal enemy, Dark Samus.
Besides using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to pull off amazing feats like
aiming and blasting in midair or at a full run, players also will have an array of
different weapons at their disposal. In true Metroid fashion, these will become powered
up as the game progresses. Not only that, but the controller will be used for a number of
other game elements beyond the traditional firstperson shooter standards.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
- Corruption Control: Players control Samus by moving with the Nunchuk controller and aiming with
the pointer, allowing for a level of immersion unlike anything they have ever
experienced. Through the eyes of Samus, players experience a quantum leap in first-person
control as they wield the Wii Remote, the ultimate device for the firstperson shooter
genre.
- Metroid Power Ups: Samus will employ well-known power-ups like the Grapple Beam and Morph Ball,
as well as a bunch of new surprises, to help her survive her coming trials.
