The latest issue of games magazine “Play” has revealed some new details about Metroid Prime 3 Corruption that’ll be released for Wii this summer in the USA on August 20th, 2007.

The editors played the game at Nintendo’s Media Summit recently and listed the new impressions.

* “Play” says it could be the biggest revolution in FPS gaming since Halo.
* First level – You are attacked on a spaceship while meeting with the shipâ€™s captainâ€¦action packed
* Second level – floating city focused on exploration
* “Play” feels motion controls work better than dual joystick
* Super sensitive pointer in â€œadvancedâ€ mode
* Beam stacking like in Super Metroid
* Visor switch: Hold minus and flick Wiimote in certain directions
* Back tracking in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption makes more sense than in previous Primes
* Extra development time was to give the game more polish. Nintendo wanted â€œTwilight Princessâ€ levels of polish. Game is focused on Metroid fans and hardcore gamers, but still accessible to newcomers due to controls.
* Larger environments, bloom lighting, better textures than Prime 2

The next tidbits you may consider spoilers so thread carefully.

* Corruption Mode not available in demo
* Boss fight with Ridley at the end of the first level. Excellent difficulty curve by the time you reach the boss.

SPiRiT, I have heard nothing about online, but after including it in Hunters and including a multiplayer mode in Echoes (although it didn’t fare so well among critics) I would say it’s definitely a possiblity.

Then again, the reason they didn’t include one in the first Prime was to focus on the single-player game, and some people complained that the single player in Echoes would’ve been better without the energy they had to focus on multiplayer, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.

I wouldn’t hold my breath though.

And yes I LOVE the Prime games! Can’t wait for this one!

“it could be the biggest revolution in FPS gaming since Halo.”
…? Halo (1 or 2 for that matter) was hardly revolutionary.
