More Metroid videos on Wii, future bounty hunters take note
slorojo | 8:24 PM on 08.16.2007 7 comments


Two news videos up on the Wii Metroid Channel for your viewing pleasure.

The first has to do with a phazon exoskeleton enhancement marines have been field testing. My money is that you have to fight corrupted marines at some point that are consumed by the phazon (somewhat obvious from the last scene, and it almost looks like you fight one among the space pirates in the next video)

The second clip shows a fairly intense battle against space pirates being airdropped into the scene. However, we don't see too much new in this video.

Check em out.

I''l post my blog here in the comments.

We'll just Voltron out blogs. Capeche'?

"The first is called PED Suit. It's sort of a shocker as it's focused on the grunts that Samus is hanging out with in Prime 3 and not Samus herself. It still feels off to me that Samus is not alone in this new mission. In fact, it looks like there are tons of grunts as well as those "hunters" all helping her out on this one. And the grunts are also armed with PED suits like the one Samus aquires in the game. It's apparently a form of armor that siphons and redirects the normally life threatening Phazon radiation into a weapon, just as Samus has done at the end of both Metroid Prime 1 and 2.

It makes Samus seem like less of a big deal. The PED suit gives the average in-game grunt the ability to go apeshit in a manner that Samus could only do in the past after an entire game's worth of item collection. But there you go. For better of worse, this will be the least traditional Metroid game ever.

I'm hoping the grunts all quickly die off and/or become corrupted enemies of Samus. Prime 3 could have a "Night of the Living Dead in Space" sort of vib if the grunts once seen as your friends slowly become Phazon mad killing machines, hell bent for eating Samus alive. "

"The second video shows more standard battling against Space Pirates. They are rain down from the sky in a very Gamecube looking way.

At times though, this battle does look better than Gamecube, even through the chunky pixel compression used on these vids. And we get to see Samus tapping into the PED suit and unleaching so phazon. Pretty how-hum, but better than nothing.

Next Monday's videos include "Bowling" and "Valhalla".

Good night.

Quite surprised that the Feds would go that far. Then again, who is actually worse, the Space Pirates, or the Space Federation? You'd think since one species took from others, that our own would learn a lesson. not so after all.

Speaking of Samus' new allies, the other hunters seem to be seeking redemption along with her help. I think its quite possible. But since you'll have to fight a horde of empowered soldiers.. its gonna turn out to be more Metal Gear Solid, than our standard Metroid fair.

And the army from the skies, neat touch. Kinda gets you ready for whats next. Plus these enemies seem neverending. Last move? Take out the carrier ships, and pray the sky is clear.
