CVG reports:
"To seasoned Primers, a warning. Never has a game's subtitle been so apt. Just as Samus faces infectious Phazon (neon-blue, mutagenic - very nasty) trickling through places you really don't want Phazon trickling, we find the tried-and-tested Prime formula corrupting along with it."
With the Wiimote as your Arm Cannon, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a motion control revolution.
From Xfire: "Is Super Metroid still as super as it once was in 1994? If not, which Metroid game is better than the influential title?"
I look forward to the day any game beats that Super, Metroid or not.
Hollow Knight come damn near close to knocking Super Metroid from the top of my list, that’s a huge achievement for such a small team.
The problem for me is I’ve been waiting for a 2D Metroid that beats Super but I don’t think I’ll ever see that day. I still play the original 1-2 times a year and a few randomiser plays.
Fully agree with the list and all points it makes for each game. I’m expecting Dread to fit in the middle of that list but I’m happy to be wrong about that.

Some great games are coming out for the wii, and I don't care if they are the same franchise again just as long as they are done right. I've been itching to play an FPS that will take advantage of the superior control scheme the wiimote can offer if utilized in the proper way. Red Steel is NOT a good example at all, so hopefully this can breathe some life into the nonexistent FPS genre on the Wii.
This might be the game that gets me to purchase the system.
I cant wait to play Metroid 3. I dont have a Wii yet and playing Wii at my friends house or gaming events didnt interest me. OK, I love Elebits & Rayman on Wii but Wii Sports and all other games like Wario were seriously shallow and boring IMO (Didn't play Zelda: TP so dont know much about it ). But Metroid 3 is more than enough reason for me to buy the console.
... its sad.. i told him he shouldve put RE4
Had online but of course everybody knows the only online game for the GameCube is Phantasy Star Online but the rest of the games for GameCube didnt have and I can see there going to have online for this one unless there going to canel the online for Metroid Prime 3.
I already beat RE 4 too many times to revisit it (again) on another Nintendo console. Played both the GCN and the PS2 versions, so i'm pretty much RE'd out. HOWEVER, Umbrella Chronicles looks interesting to me, as i've always liked the "House of the Dead"-style zombie games, but hated the Survivor series on the PSone. The technology just wasn't there to make a compelling game, so hopefully they can pull it off with this one.
This is what the Wii needs; less gimmicky peripherals like WiiFit, and more compelling gaming experiences like Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3. I don't care about Soccer moms getting involved in video games, because frankly they are the same ones who complain when little Johnny Bastard-Pants buys Manhunt or GTA and then does something stupid simply because the parenting element wasn't in place to detect such problems.
