Metroid Prime 3: goodbye online multiplayer, hello tons of screens

 

Good news, bad news, fellow Brawl-ers. The good news is we’ve got a piping hot batch of Samus Aran screens from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. And saying that they’re drool-inducing might be a bit of an understatement – kind of like saying that Princess Peach is princess-like.

Now before you go all click-crazy on the thumbs below, we’d just like to say that some of these screens have appeared in Play magazine before. We posted a scan of that a few days ago. There’s a whole bulk load of new screens though, and what was previously seen in the scan just seems to be the tip of the iceberg of the other ones.

Now for that bit of bad news. See, these screens were released via GamePro, who just also published a Q&A with Retro Studios CEO Michael Kelbaugh. In that interview, we’ve finally gotten solid confirmation that there wouldn’t be any online multiplayer in Metroid 3. It’s been rumored and speculated about for quite some time now, but today’s the nail in the coffin.

GamePro: Will Metroid Prime 3 have any online modes?

Michael Kelbaugh: No. It’s something we talked about early on, but we only have so many resources. We opted to devote those resources to making a better single-player experience.

My, my… these Metroid updates just keep rolling in today, aren’t they? Especially after learning about the game being delayed. Don’t be such a sap though. We smell those juicy Corruption screens in 3… 2… 1…
