Metroid Prime Trilogy – Nintendo Wii

Metroid Prime

The first entry into the Metroid Prime Saga stayed true to the unique exploration system of the original Metroid game for the NES system, expanding the map area as players find new abilities and adding a host of revolutionary new features. Metroid Prime added new elements like the dynamic feeling of FPS battle, puzzle-solving, with various visors and weapons. A beautiful art style, alternating first-person and morph ball views, and an immersive storyline. In doing so, Metroid Prime created a brand new genre – The first-person adventure. Metroid Prime still stands up several years later as an incredibly immersive gaming experience, and now by adopting unique Wii controls while keeping the incredible gameplay from the original Nintendo Gamecube version, it is even more fun to play. Additionally, now that players can select an easier difficulty level, it is a great entry point for first-time Metroid Prime: Trilogy Players.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

In this sequel, Samus heads to Aether, a planet torn into light and dark dimensions by a mysterious meteor. A vicious alien race from Dark Aether called the Ing are threatening the Luminoths of Light Aether with extinction. On this planet, Samus makes first contact with a creature called Dark Samus who looks just like herself. What is Dark Samus’s objective? What is the relationship between Samus and Dark Samus? Can Samus defeat Dark Aether and rescue Light Aether? Puzzles in each dimension affect the other, and while players try to solve them, they must battle against creatures from each dimension by switching between different beams. Dark Aether is cloaked in poison, and its denizens can appear at any time in Light Aether to cause havoc. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is packed with brand-new gameplay elements – including the only Metroid Multiplayer in the trilogy, which supports four players and is made even better with the addition of Wii controls for the release of Metroid Prime: Trilogy.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

The final chapter of Metroid Prime: Trilogy includes not only improved control with the Wii Remote but also use of the accelerometer in many places, like swinging the Nunchuk controller forward to attach the grapple beam to a door or an enemy’s shield, and pulling back to pull off the grapple item or operating machines with gestures of the Wii Remote. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Samus explores multiple planets to save the universe from an even more powerful Dark Samus and Phazon Contamination. As Phazon starts corrupting Samus, she utilizes it to enter Hyper Mode, which temporarily increases Samus’s strength, but can also shorten her life. By working together with the federation, can Samus save the universe from Dark Samus? As she tries, she’ll come in contact with other bounty hunters for the first time in this Trilogy.
