Metroid Prime 3 Videos of Samus in Space and Doing the Wiimotation
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption from Retro Studios is one of the more anticipated games for the Wii. So here’s a YouTube video and two downloadable videos to show us why. In the YouTube video, you see Samus take a walk in space (or a dive through space). Then Samus goes on to do a lot of shooting to beat the bad guys. Note the Morph Ball technique; don’t ask me to explain how a full-bodied woman can curl herself up into a ball that small.
But if you’re looking for a video that does the game justice, go ahead and grab the 11-minute-long federation ship full walkthrough from IGN (see the download link below). It’s where the YouTube video was taken from. There’s also a short off-screen trailer if you’re interested, but it’s nothing compared to the long video (and it’s off-screen, so you can hear all the people around the screen talking).
Before we get to the IGN downloads, let me just say something about the Wiimote‘s role in this game. For example, in the long video, Samus needs to place a power cell into a generator thing to restore the room’s power. To do this, you push the Wiimote forward and rotate it, and Samus puts the power cell into the receptacle and rotates it to activate it. It’s an added dimension and a hint of realism (just a hint) that might convince people who don’t like FPS games to try this one.
And one last thing really off-topic thing (you might want to skip right to the download). You’ve noticed how so many web journals have overdone the puns and created new words that start with “Wii.” So I’m jumping into the craziness and coining my own Wiiword: Wiimotate.
