Metroid Prime 3
So MP3 comes out this coming Tuesday. I'm really looking forward to it. Nintendo released a Metroid Preview Channel on the Wii (in the Shop under WiiWare) and just about every website has their last-minute preview stuff going up. I saw a scan from the new issue of Nintendo Power where they gave it a 10/10 (for reference, only Resident Evil 4 has ever gotten a 10/10 from NP...not even Zelda or Mario, ever).
Is anyone else as excited as I am?

Re: Metroid Prime 3
I'm really looking forward to it. I think it'll be another eye-opener for the ability of the Wii to control in new and incredible ways.

Re: Metroid Prime 3
Great review scores coming in for 'Metroid Prime 3: Corruption':
IGN.com - 9.5

the new controls respond quicker and with more precision than any dual-analog-helmed FPS ever created

GameTrailers - 9.6

You'll never wanna play any shooter with dual analog sticks ever again.

1up.com - 9.0

Amazing as it is to say about a Wii game, Corruption contains some of the best visuals in gaming, period.

Looks like Retro/Nintendo have done it again!

Re: Metroid Prime 3
Went to GameStop yesterday and preordered by paying the full price. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Re: Metroid Prime 3
Just BARELY got into it so far, but it's almost immediately apparent that it achieves a big leap forward in POV shooter controls.

Re: Metroid Prime 3
I've got one on order online, but figured if I could get one locally earlier I would. So far, no one in town's even gotten their first shipment yet. Stupid small town.

Re: Metroid Prime 3
I'm about 4 hours in, I've just finished the planet Bryyo. The controls take a little bit to get used to, but they're fantastic. The game doesn't feel as much like any other Metroid game, which is good and bad. Then again, I'm at 23% through so we'll see what happens.

Re: Metroid Prime 3
I'm barely into it, just past the first boss after the opening sequence, but I'm already loving it. The original Prime was my favorite game of last generation, and Echoes was an excellent followup. Cool little extra: the four lights on top of Samu's visor are actually a battery indicators.

Re: Metroid Prime 3
I have to say, if this is the kind of thing that could be done with the Wiimote, then we've got some incredible games ahead. I don't enjoy FPS games (they tend to make me sea-sick for some reason) but there is something about the controls on this game that are incredibly involving. I was absolutely impressed at the gameplay.
