Where's the Metroid love, guys.
I know you people have Wiis!

Alright, alright.
Metroid Prime 3 is the conclusion to the Prime Trilogy.
In the whole confusing Metroid Timeline, these events mark the beginning of Samus' career as a super badass female Bounty Hunter.

Taking place after the events of Metroid Prime 2 (Or Hunters..I think this game begins after Hunters, not Prime 2, feel free to correct me), Samus finds herself boarding a Galactic Federation Ship, that has not totally gone to hell- I know, strange right?. As a matter of fact, the soldiers are still alive, and the place seems to have a lot going for it. :/
Not for long. Shortly after Samus boards the ship, you are welcomed to a Halo-Like beginning. Where the ship has been raided by Space Pirates, and of course, it's up to you to save the day.
Blah Blah, Intro boss is pretty awesome. All the bosses in this game, while not difficult, are pretty epic.

Let’s talk Gameplay. I'm going to start of by saying...YOU MUST SWITCH TO THE ADVANCE CONTROL SCHEME.
It helps. Seriously.
And if you didn't already know, Metriod Prime is a First Person Adventure game that uses the wiimote to its fullest. You can call it a "shooter", but that really wouldn't do it justice.

It controls really solid…You point the wiimote at the screen and guide your arm cannon/camera around, while using the Nunchuck to move. It's smooth, but not without flaws...It won't be replacing a Keyboard and Mouse for you PC folks. But it controls better than most Console FPS.

The controls are smooth, and the combat/shooting is great. But you feel as if the Exploration aspect of the Metroid Series has kind of been scaled down. Metroid is more of a "shooter" than ever.
Now, I say that...But it still very much so feels like Zelda in first person...in space.

Samus is also kickin all sorts of ass with her power mode..thing...
Oh, and if you haven't noticed...the game is gorgeous, much better looking than both gamecube Prime games.
A wii game that has you in awe over the graphics!? NU WAI.

Yes way.
So, in short, it's a really awesome game that all you Wii Owners should definitely pick up. Probably one of my favorite Game Series at it's best.

I would like to have this, but I gots no monies. Gimme soam moniez to buyz itz wit.

[Guy]

Hmm.. it certainly looks like a cool game. I like the graphics. I'll think about getting this game around the holidays or something.

[miku]

The amount of detail that goes into the level design is really stunning. Which is probably the most impressive thing about the graphics.
Human-like Character Models are a bit iffy- I really don't like Zero Suit Samus' new look.
Just...looks too cartoony. :/

I'm not too far in only 6 or so hours, but so far it tops the other FPS Metroids in every way.

Best Wii game yet? Perhaps. :O

[Daft Punk]

You really think it's better than Twilight Princess?

[miku]

Uh, yeah?

Twilight Princess was really just a Gamecube game anyways. :/

That being said, Twilight Princess was really great.

But we're in Wii country now folks.

[Daft Punk]

I don't think it was a gamecube game. I think it was predominately a Wii title, even if when production started it was meant to be for the gamecube.

[miku]

Bleh, if they did a Zelda game from the ground up for the wii it'd be amazing. But they didn't. So there.
(I'd also argue that Super Paper Mario was better than Zelda, but that's a gamecube game too, so whatever. :/)
But that doesn't matter, let's not derail the thread here.

Let's talk metroid: Did anybody play Hunters? I didn't think it was that great, and the multiplayer aspect could've been way better.

Also: WE NEED ANOTHER 2D SIDESCROLLING METROID NINTENDO, COME ON ;_;

[Daft Punk]

Yes, and agreed. I miss the days of old :(. We need like Metroid: Anthology with all the old sidescrollers, only for the DS.

[miku]

That'd be super. They wouldn't even need to upgrade the sprites or anything. ;_; Hell, I'd buy it if they downgraded all the sprites and stuff.

Just...somethin...;_;

This is my favorite Game for the Wii thus far. It's how a Console FPS should be made. My only problem with it is that it's insanely easy. I'm on the last planet now. Hopefully I'll have time to beat it this weekend.

[ShRooMin]

Yeah Metroid 3 does look awesome ^_^

Hopefully ill get it November 8th (my b-day) :P

Im not sure if its quite out here in UK yet....

[Dissidia]

Wow, nice thread here Miku, can't believe I missed it. +Rep to you. The game is out in Europe tomorrow but I can't afford it, although I loved 1/2 and have recently been replaying Super Metroid on VC. I'll try to pick it up when I can :)

[RandomVaizard]

My parents finally bought this for me,I don't have to wait anymore for monday for this game.
It came this Monday at my local store,however,I'm ill,so I couldn't get it by myself,but now my parents got this for me today.
I'm now a happy man. (or boy.)

[Novoxis]

Oh yesh this game is on my list ^^ I've been dying to play it after playing the first two. Though I hate being in Europe, people in the States get games earlier than I do >.<

But luckily enough that wait is over. Bring on the Prime!!

Man, I was wondering where the metroid love was when the thread was made. Love just takes time....

Still don't have it, but I think I might get it soon. I'm really wanting OB and GH 3 too. :/

I wish I was rich.

I may have to wait until december to gt this game but it looks really good so it's worth the wait.
