New Metroid Prime 3 Info

Someone posted new info about MP3, based off a preview in Play Magazine. Remember at Nintendo's Media Summit last month, online publications were not allowed to play, however print publications were allowed. The following has been taken from the latest issue of Play Magazine. There may be more in the issue and I don't know if it's out yet. Keep in mind, everything about this game may not be revealed until E3--so make no assumptions about anything being left out.

Looks like this game is going be big...

GREAT im so hyped for this and if this has online it will be the best game on wii

sounds like this title is shaping up nicely :D, can't wait for it.

edit: hey darkmark91, thanks for using my electric blue ds sig tag :), that's the best one that i've made

reserved a copy of MP3 when i bought RE4wiiedition the other day. cant wait. if the 3rd party devs can keep bring out games like this at a good rate the wii could see the sucesse thay had in the 8bit and 16 bit days.

No, i dont want online, and it wont have any. Hunters was a terrible game for the single player, their WAS no single player.. it sucked.

Hunters was all multiplayer. Plus, samus is FPS action online multiplayer is DUMB imo, it doesnt suit.

if there is no online play, then ill be crying. if it literally the halo for the wii and as revolutionary as it, then it NEEDS online. the frekin DS has it too, so why couldnt the console? E3 cant come soon enough.soulsdeparting

People need to realize. - Metroid is NOT, i repeat, NOT a Halo. It never will be, never was. Metroid is NOT, i repeat NOT suited for online. Hunters for the DS was had a HORRIBLE single player experience.

Prime 3 will NOT, i repeat, NOT be online.

Metroid was always an adventure game not an online shooter. Basically, it doesn't need at all an online feature on it. Also, the Hunters was not even made by Retro. It was made by NST.

Stop hoping for online play, folks. It probably won't happen. Although it's been rumored that it may have some kind of WiFi functionality (what, I don't know.) it probably will not have multiplayer.

Anyway, the game sounds friggin' amazing, so I'll probably make it my first Wii game purchase.

if they rnt gonna have online then they need to at least have a prime 2 style multiplayer because its the wii 4 gods sake!!badhoagie91

yea, but it's also Metroid, and Metroid is meant for the most atmospheric single-player experience possible, not for multiplayer.

It won't have online, it's been 99% confirmed. Metroid is a Solo experience, Hunters sucked badly, single player suffered a major hit because of the addition of online. So people need to get over it. If you want online go play halo.SolemnJedi79

guys, to be fair, hunters was meant to JUST be an only game, they tacked on single-player as a part of its delay, jeesh, does no one remember this? i personally liked MPH, and really hope that there will be online for the wii, if not though, then thats ok, cause i'll have madden 08 to keep me busy

Guys seriously THis game is going to have multiplayer online. Youd be stupid to think it wont. It will be like mulitplayer in MP2

However It wasnt needed in Mp2 so it may be a little better with online.

Everyone! Why can't we have our cake and eat it too? We already know, the single player is going to be off the hook--just look at the first two Prime games. If enough time is spent on it, then online multiplayer will probably turn out to better than we may think. MP3, if done right, could have enough potential to have the best of both worlds. Not too many FP games, with online multi-play, have a decent single player campaign--with a rich story. I understand that the first two attempts at mulitplay were horrendous, but you act as if that all can't change. Here's to having both modes of play and that they are well polished!

I still think the biggest thing the series could do if it wants to pull itself from the pit of declining sales is have that blue Wi-Fi logo on the box.

I'm hyped for all these single-player features though :)

Metroid Single player > Halo single player. Halo multiplayer > Metroid multiplayer. They are completely different games.TheLordMagnus

Your naive if you don't think they're competing for the same buyers. I'm not even going to bother with a 360 if MP3 has online, especially if Halo 3's SP is a repeat of 2s.

And Hunter selection + bots offline made Hunters extremely enjoyable, if MP3 has all of that and more while not being limited by the DS's four player cap I'd say it's got a good chance of surpassing Halo on it's "golden front". And I'm a Halo fan (CE, that is).

o my god!

REVOLUTION IN FPS"S!

I may actually be buying Metroid now105506

May actually? That should have been decided when they announced Metroid Prime 1! :P But anyawys... this is going to be great...

Almost all of that information is old news except for the back-tracking part...

[QUOTE="NECR0CHILD313"]Your naive if you don't think they're competing for the same buyers.TheLordMagnus

I don't think Nintendo is using MP3 to compete with Halo 3. Halo is coming out sometime in the Fall, where as MP3 will be released August 20th. MP3 should chug up decent sales before Halo 3 comes out. I think Nintendo will try to use multiple games to compete with Halo 3--cuz that's what it's gonna take. Also, for the latter half of this yr, MS will need Halo to sell well, since that's the only X-Box title receiving alot of hype for that time period. Although Nintendo will need multiple titles to beat Halo--it's still could bea win for Nintendo...since MS is putting alot of stock in Halo 3 than Nintendo is for any of the multiple games they will use against MS.

I'm really getting sickoffall the naysayers that sayonline can't be done well on Prime 3. Did they forget it's not using Prime 1+2's unconventional, incredibly arkward (for multiplayer) controls? Prime 3 couldn't be MORE perfect for online with its new control scheme.It's like a PC mouse for FPS games - like Counter-Strike, and Day of Defeat. How it could NOT work???Ultra-quick turning (for a console game), responsive controls, fast-paced moving + shooting.............the more I think about the more I feel how it should be online.Optusnet
