Front and center at Gamestop/EB Games – Metroid Prime 3: Corruption demo

A number of posts ago, we reported that Nintendo has decided to give us a month of Metroid goodness and well, today’s bit of news will pretty much top off the cake for most of you guys. I-ninja-u-dead from the IGN Forums was able to find a kiosk at a local Gamestop/EB Games store and found (*insert drum roll here*) a fully playable Metroid Prime 3: Corruption demo.

As you can probably imagine, the thread was peppered with questions and a lot of disbelief. The poster added a picture of the said kiosk which indeed shows the game (refer to the image above) with the controls shown below the screen under the Metroid Prime 3 logo. Before you run out to your local Gamestop/EB Games store though, there were some people who checked for it at their local stores, only to find a Brain Age kiosk. So it might be safe to surmise that the said kiosk hasn’t appeared in all the branches as of yet.

The lucky basta… er – i-ninja-u-dead was good enough to give the specifics on where he was able to play it: Portland, Oregon, at the Washington Square Mall. He also gave some details regarding Metroid Prime 3: Corruption that will make you want to hate him more,

Well, I started out with doing all the new interacting abilities in the ship, which were all very cool and fun to use withe the pointer enhanced finger pressing. Then on ground, I used the Scan Visor, Morph Ball, Morph Ball bombs, Morh Ball jump (Simply flick up on the Wii Remote to jump in morph ball mode – very intuitive and much improved from the old method), Jump, Double Jump, Shoot, Lock On (The new lock on with the free aim felt great, but was tough to wrap your head around initially), and the new grapple beam move (Was incredibly fun, satisfying and easy to pull off). I also used some of the new methods of interacting, with the Pull Back-Twist-Push Forward to release locks, and you can now point at companions and press A to talk to them.

At any rate, it wouldn’t hurt to check. Samus Aran might be waiting.
