LAZY DAY TRAILERS: METROID PRIME 3: CORRUPTION

Continuing with our look at the trailers coming out of E3, we’ll round out the big three shooters with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Nintendo Wii. Utilizing the Wii’s unique control scheme, the game should help highlight features that the Wiimote/Nunchuck combination can bring to the genre.

My biggest concern based on the trailer you’re about to watch, as well as demonstrations of the game I’ve seen, is that there may be a bit too many platforming elements for most die hard shooter fans. Then again, I’ll admit to not having played the last two Gamecube installments of the series, so for all I know, those elements could be hallmarks of the series. (I know, it’s shameful that I haven’t played Metroid Prime 1 & 2 – they’re on my list . Honest!)

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption will release on August 27th, 2007 exclusively for the Wii.
