So I was looking at slashdot, and they had the top 25 censored news stories of the year. A guy had a really good point: Lindsay Lohan has alot bigger tits than global warming.
Some fresh screens of the upcoming Wii shooter, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, have been released by Nintendo. Players will use the Nunchuk controller and aim with the pointer to control Samus, apparently, allowing for a deep level of immersion unlike anything you've experienced before. Take a look at the screenshots.
Players control Samus by moving with the Nunchuk controller and aiming with the pointer, allowing for a level of immersion unlike anything they have ever experienced. Through the eyes of Samus, players experience a quantum leap in first-person control as they wield the Wii Remote controller, the ultimate device for the first-person shooter genre.
Samus will employ well-known power-ups like the Grapple Beam and Morph Ball, as well as a bunch of new surprises, to help her survive her coming trials.
Game storyline: Six months have passed since the events on the planet Aether. The Galactic Federation's network computer, Aurora Unit, is suddenly and completely corrupted with something like a virus. The Federation believes Space Pirates may be behind the problem and, beginning with Samus, starts to contact bounty hunters. As they explain the situation to the assembled hunters, the Federation is attacked by the pirates. Samus and the other hunters leap to the defense of the Federation capital, only to find that the enemy the hunters face is the presumed-dead Dark Samus. Dark Samus is armed with immense power that no one can withstand. It soon becomes obvious that the forces controlling Dark Samus and the terror of the contaminated Phazon are a dire threat that could corrupt the entire universe.
Characters: Samus, Dark Samus, the Galactic Federation and new bounty hunters.
How to progress through the game: The war initiated by Dark Samus and the Space Pirates rages across many planets as they attempt to corrupt each with Phazon seeds. Players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to explore alien landscapes, hunt for weapons and information, and destroy the seeds. Saving the planets from corruption isn't enough, though. Eventually, players must take down Samus' mortal enemy, Dark Samus.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, players will be able to grasp and pull things by using actual arm movements, as well as execute amazing feats like aiming and blasting in midair or at a full run. The game also incorporates a new system involving Phazon. If you fill Samus' Phazon supply to a certain level, Samus will temporarily go into hyper mode, a state in which she can pull off incredible feats; on the flip side, if she exceeds the maximum Phazon level, she'll perish. Also, for the first time in the Metroid series, Samus' ship will be used in active game play.
We already know Nobue Uematsu worked on that song for the first trailer for the game, so he's in for at least one song even if he's not on that list. The only addition I can think of from here is whoever composes Blizzard's game music. Thrall in SSBB... that would be awesome.
The opening is real time, as with everything else. 2nd gen graFIX! As far as HP goes, it looks interesting. I played a few of them and they were okay at best. But wiimote as the wand? Is genius. But its not as detailed as it should be, throw in subtle movements to 'lock' the spell and even a mic for saying the spell... it wouldn't be the 'almost third person shooter' of past HP games but it would make HP fans very happy.
