Metroid Prime 3, The first ever Nintendo game to feature full voice acting?

Is this confirmed? Or speculation? I'm not really bothered I quite like the concept of text especially in games like Zelda because it's like reading a book, you decide for yourself how they sound, what they're vocal expressions would be like. It would be awful if some "cheesy wanna be voice actor" came in and screwed it all up, I think some games are better left to your own imagination; it's more creative that way. KingKoop

In my opinion, it is better to include voice acting wherever possible. Certainly Zelda survives fine without it, but I'm sure you wouldn't mind Nintendo giving these characters some more... well... character. A low budget game might botch the voice acting, but Nintendo has some deep pockets, and a lot of these characters have voice actors anyway, it just really isn't technically voice... 

i seriously would not like to see link with VO. i still cant think of a single style that would suit him.reyad-u

Yea link with a voice would be weird,but would it be so wrong to have the characters who surrond link to get some VO. If you want example of what im saying think of it like GTA3 where the main character never spoke,but everyone else did which was fine. Also i'm happy MP3 will have VO if want preoof go to ign and they have a clip with some VO.

By this you mean for example Wario - "AM A WARIO NUMBERRA 1" right? and Peach's "PEACHY" could you imaginge a full fledged game with these voices constantly? It would annoy me after a while, the random outbursts here and there are funny though. But I see what you mean though.

But with the people who are comlpaining about no voice for like the Zelda games, READ!  Its like it can't hurt you to read 10-20 words and then start playing again.

I think giving Link a voice would be very bad.  I like him being a silent hero.  I would however like to see Zelda, Ganon and villagers and stuff have VO.  That would be cool.

Even if they add VO they could still leave the subtitles on.  That comes in handy for me.  Sometimes it gets noisy in my house during a cutscene, and I just read the subtitles during those times so I still know what's going on without reloading the game.

its ovious that Michael Clarke Dunkin should do it

So we're willing to put down $250+ on Nintendo's ability to create a unique and revolutionary game console, but we're terrified of what might happen if they add voice acting to their games?

...wow. 

look at the first gameplay footage video on GS.... there isnt any voiceacting in that.

Case solved?

no it's not the only game nintendo has used full voice acting in, there have been a few

for example battalion wars!

Is Metroid Prime 3 confirmed to have full voice acting ?NWA_31

there actually is, you just can't ghear it over the huge amount of noise from e3, and the man talking

Is this the first ever nintendo game to use full voice acting? I was actually happy they did and maybe in the future more games will feature it like Zelda, mario, pokemon, ect.cobrax80

Star fox 64 was the first game did you play that.

Get facts before post

the only stuff i can find on Metroid prime 3 is all 2006 stuff.... are they keeping quiet for some reason?

And yes MP3 will have full voice acting.

Wow i can't believe so many people DON'T want VO. fanboys. I love my Wii but I am starting to get the feeling that Nintendo hasn't changed at all and the Wii will just become the new gamecube. I just can't understand why Nintendo is unwilling to put VO in their games? They definately have the money to hire good voice actors. it'd be much better than hearing beeps. I'm amazed people are willing to put up with Nintendo's laziness and lack of commitment to it's hardcore fans.yanwasp

Didn't Starfox Adventures use voice acting? I remember cringing after I realised they changed Slippy to a girl, no just no!

But yeah anything that calls itself epic should have voice acting of some sort even if its a fake language. 

its confirmed to have voice acting, but i dont know if samus talks. in some of the older videos u can hear the secondary characters talking.

For Zelda games, i would love VO, but it doesnt mean that link has to talk. Just like Matt from IGN says, you can have everyone else talking, BUT link - that would help the game a lot.

Are you asking or telling us? I doubt there will be any voice acting. Link please.gatsbythepig

Edit: Here

if ANY nintendo franchise needs (and i mean NEEDS!!!) voice acting... it's Fire Emblem. dont get me wrong, i love it just fine without it so far. but when it comes to VA the sky's the limit

Zelda could work with VA, just dont give Link ANYTHING to say (ie Helloooo Princess :?). NPC's be great with it though.

Metroid could work as well, but it probs could mean the end of the whole scanning thing they've got going on. so if prime3 still has scanning and no VA then whatever came out after corruption/the prime trilogy could do whatever it wanted. granted of course i know there's a lot of people out there that'd rather have VA instead of the scanning in prime 3...

edit: just watched that link further up the page. what i meant was about samus having full voice acting... though you could mebbe combine scanning and talking together, can't be that hard can it?
