The crew over at Play Magazine recently scored some hands-on time with Samus' latest adventure, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for Wii. Inside the magazine there was a bunch of exclusive screenshots and info. Catch it all past the jump, but beware, spoilers are aplenty!
* First level - You are attacked on a spaceship while meeting with the ship’s captain…action packed
* Play feels motion controls work better than dual joystick
* Super sensitive pointer in “advanced” mode
* Beam stacking ala Super Metroid
* Visor switch: Hold minus and flick Wiimote in certain directions
* Boss fight with Ridley at the end of the first level. Excellent difficulty curve by the time you reach the boss.
* Back tracking in MP3:C makes more sense than in previous Primes
* Extra development time was to give the game more polish. Nintendo wanted “Twilight Princess” levels of polish. Game is focused on Metroid fans and hardcore gamers, but still accessible to newcomers due to controls.
* Second level - floating city focused on exploration
* Larger environments, bloom lighting, better textures than Prime 2
* Corruption Mode not available in demo
* Play says it could be the biggest revolution in FPS gaming since Halo.
