Whether you actually love Metroid or you just like to fap to Samus, you'll dig these brand-new screenshots from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Though, for those severely patience-disabled, it might make it harder to wait the recently-announced extra week's delay (OH GOD A WHOLE WEEK) until the new August 27th release date.
I imagine the week's delay is so that they can add the quintessential "Samus gets naked when she's dead" feature. In next-gen graphics (or whatever Wii's graphics are). That's gotta be it. Right? ...Oh, just leave me alone, leave me to the twisted, symbiotic embrace of my own romantic imagination.
Speaking of romance, people seriously love their Samus. So in the spirit of anticipation, with the aim of killing an extra week's time, I have a proposition. Hit the jump...
I propose we compose Samus-devoted Metroid haiku. Let's see who can do the best one. The winner gets either a fabulous prize, or my undying admiration, whichever one's better (and guess which that is). If you want, y'know... information, you can go read this fab interview with Retro Studios over at Play. But the for truly enlightened, the tender aesthetes: Five-seven-five, guys, GO! ...YEAH!!!
Power Suit, ruby
Or Chozo blood infusion
I want your bounty.

The Luminoth see
Samus and Dark Samus, but
Both at the same time?

Corruption, my dear
Will it finally be time
To hear you speak words?

double jump fair lady love

As for the haiku, this is a little something a made for a Metroid haiku contest a while ago:
Through the black darkness
The Ing sees a shining light
The Hunter has come
Gonna shoot my plasma beam
All over your face
To Shoop the whoop with her
Pwning laser beamz
Charging my dark beam..
Filled with my light beam
Morph balling us in euphoric Extasy
Oh some dude I don't know?
A happy haiku
:D
Grapple beam in flight
The visor tells where to swing
Shit, flying bad guys
Hit that X button
There's a large blue flash of light
LOLZ She's now a ball
A good game for Wii?
Holy shit its been a while
Blow dust off the box
This game looks real hot
Some ask if Wii is next gen
I came from those pics
And heres one about Dtoid:
Independent news?
It's powered by Elephant
Destructoid, also cocks
She rolls into her Morph Ball
Best. Teabag. Ever.
I guess we'd have to see it in motion.
Bomb climb up the shaft
That loud sound gives it away
Cue item jingle.
asploded by her lazer,
Fuck, I'm not your mom.
(A haiku summarizing the end of Metroid 2)
an invitation to cyber-stalk? i'm game.
google... nope, try again... damn, what could it be...
aHA! found it!
aw damn, "This profile is set to private. This user must add you as a friend to see his/her profile."
you tease.
Can my GBA connect
to my Wii/GameCube?
Gonna go to prom
Taking my lover Samus
In her sweet new ride
Would you mother my cute babies?
With much love, Kraid
Underneath, life, bountiful.
Like our heroine.
Green then blonde. Why can't
Nintendo women ever
make up their damn minds?
Neither Samus nor
explosion could end Ridley.
Parasites killed him.
The last Metroid is
Samus Aran. Now, will the
galaxy find peace?
If the morph ball is
one meter across, Samus
must be really tall.
Roll, bounce, stand, charge, shoot.
Damn, Arachni-X got me.
Hardest boss ever.
Reflexive, immersed
in loneliness. No contact.
Farther down she goes.
The spider ball. Zips
up walls, crawls on the ceiling.
Bane of programmers.
Run! You have to
be quick to escape from a
random explosion.
