Metroid Prime 3: Corruption commercial looks pretty damn great photo

Alien planets, excessive jumping and plenty of pew-pew-pew action never looked better. On the other hand, Samus Aran could brighten up an auto graveyard with her steely charisma, so maybe we owe it all to her. You can judge for yourself in this Gamedaily exclusive spot for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, which hits store shelves on August 27th. The Wii players in the video have that trademark look of vacant joy Nintendo so loves to capture, but at least the gameplay looks yummy. For all I know, I might look like that when I play this game too.

Best way to prep? Well, after you pry your clammy paws off BioShock, dash over to the Virtual Console and download Super Metroid and Metroid and get your vintage on. It's not too often that we gamers get a series as consistenly solid as this one, so we may as well relish it while we can.

Bioshock, Two Worlds, Stranglehold, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Jeanne D'Arc, Guild Wars: Eye of the North, Blue Dragon, is there a bank in the country that doesn't have cameras or security guards for me to rob from?

you know i wasnt even excited about the metroid prime franchise before even though my brother owns 1 and 2. Just recently i picked up hunters for the DS and it has converted me. I will be picking up 3 regardless of how broke i am.

I'm not going to watch this because I'm from the UK. Being from the UK I won't get this game for about another 3 months. Listen up Nintendo: Stop treating us like an afterthought, or make your games region free.

Besides, who the fuck is surprised that the Wii has surpassed the 360? It's not really huge news, since it was easily predictable, given the way sales were going. The only thing keeping the 360 from retaining the top spot is the fact that Japan hasn't accepted it. The Wii has a well-rounded fanbase, in the US, Japan, and Europe, thus it's number one. If you think this place is biased and is being unfair, go someplace else.

And just for the sake of killing that buzz a tiny bit, the 360 is still tops in America by a longshot. ;)

Looks cool. No matter how hard they try though, I doubt that the casual gamers are going to pick this game up.

Looks nice, but I won't get it. I'd rather save up to upgrade my computer, then buy a Wii, when there are only three games I'd ever like coming out on it.

I have a feeling airport security would frown on using the flight schedule monitors to play Metroid.

I really doubt this game is aimed towards casual gamers.

I just haven't enjoyed any of the 3d metroids, I'm hoping for a new 2d sidescroller.

Metroid Prime 3 looks promising. I might buy it if I ever get a Wii. I will just play Super Metroid to pass the time.

I just finished Metroid (on the Metroid Prime disc) last week for the first time, and Metroid II today, also for the first time. Then I started Super Metroid over after getting stuck yesterday-- also playing that for the first time thanks to the VC. I don't know why I didn't get this game back in '94, freaking awesome.

Yes, that's right, Metroid Prime was the first in the series I spent any serious time with, and the first one I beat.
