[Wii] Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

You don't get as much hype for Wii (or Nintendo in general) games because the majority of their market is the "average person". Therefore these arn't people who go online to research games that are coming out or anything. These are people who sees a new game on the shelf at WalMart or something, asks the clerk if they can look at the case, and then buys the games.

Therefore probably only 30% of the Wii's market consist of people like us who invest a lot more time into gaming. However probably 80% of 360 gamers are "hard core" and therefore spend more time researching games, which leads to more hype. Make sense?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well I don't think that anyone in the press or otherwise would say that Metroid plays similar to a PC FPS. In Metroid you have to lock on to the enemy to fix the camera on them and then you have to aim your cursor with the Wiimote. I can't really see this working in an Unreal Tournament game or something, therefore it can't actually rival a PC's controls when it comes to twitch shooting. However slower paced things perhaps in some more time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Someone should start a small business to make some REAL Mii bobbleheads. I'll be customer #1. Oh, you'll probably be as rich as hell too.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

There seems to simply be more stuff on top of Prime 2 with this game. More action, more weapons, more planets, and more uses for your ship. The entire game has been broken up into multiple planets. Meaning that if you do have to back track from time to time that the distances will be far smaller. Also this game seems to be more distinct in it's adventure and FPS moments. Meaning that shoot outs are as hectic as a Halo, or Unreal, but the exploration parts are less interrupted with combat. Allowing both types of moments to be simply larger in their presentation without colliding like they did in Prime 1 and less so in Prime 2.

How ya doing, buddy?

Heh. Well Prime 3 is the last of the planned Metroid games. We'll have to wait and see how much Nintendo goes on to milk their only bad-ass character, but as it is now, we probably won't be seeing anything for another couple years. (SSBB doesn't count)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, same here man. For the most part of Prime 3, when you do have to back track, the good majority of it is usually by a defferent route. So you may be headed to a previous destination but the means of getting there is usually different. Or if it is by the same route they tend to do something to mix it up.

I'm still not too far in this game at all (like 3 hours) however I'm really enjoying the story and events of 3 more then 2 and far more then 1. Just the fact that you actually interact with others and that the field of battle is always changing makes for great and lively gameplay. Almost hate to say it, but I think I may be enjoying this more then I was BioShock. But it's still early to tell for sure [both games are great for certain though]

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Just a quick mini-poll how many people are using the Jump <-> Fire button switch? I am, don't know why Nintendo added a trigger that they're not going to use for immersion purposes. They had no issues using it properly on the N64. So yeah, speak up if you are like myself. ^^

FELIPE NO

Hey leave him alone. It took him six days to come up with that argument you know. lol

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
