I think it's safe to assume there will at least be Wi-Fi friend codes for multiplayer in MP3:C, since they did it with Fusion on the GBA. When Echoes came out, the whole Wi-Fi thing was still very new, not to mention the GameCube not exactly being internet-ready.
My guess is that Nintendo wants MP3 to be Wii's answer to Halo 3, and they'd be very silly not to recognize that people want online multiplayer for the Metroid franchise. Jam it back in, in the dark.

The one thing about Friend Codes is that at least it'll always be free, I guess. But yeah, it's not the best answer for people looking for online play. It's better than nothing, though. And better than splitscreen.
There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah it took a bit of getting used to the fact that lockon doesn't actually AIM, it just fixes the camera. You still have to aim the crosshair. I think this adds a bit more skill to the game, and ultimately makes it more fun than the past games.
The controls are REALLY smooth and easy to use once you get used to them, since they're fairly unconventional compared to any other FPS that I've ever played (mostly PC or GoldenEye style controls). Retro has done a great job making a very comprehensive control system here, and I think there is a lot of fun to be had if we get more games that follow suit or improve on this control system. And wow, this is a pretty game. Just goes to show what some actual development time can do for a Wii game. Less shovelware please! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Came out today, actually. Street date is the 27th.
Bought it at Target. Good ol' Target. Always has stuff in stock (even had two Wiis). I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

It's definitely a lot easier to get around, and the backtracking is there, but it's not a huge hindrance like it has been in past metroid games. Although one would say, if you don't like backtracking and working towards 100%, then metroid games really aren't for you and you shouldn't be playing anyways.
But it's significantly easier to retrace your steps since you can fly your ship from planet to planet, and sometimes to multiple locations on the same planet. This is a huge improvement from endlessly spelunking the same areas over and over just to get to the next zone to open that door you couldn't when you found it the first (or second or third or fourth) time. I was speaking idiomatically. |
