I got Metroid Prime 3 only last week, and have been keeping note of my progress through the days.

Day 1- I hurriedly run up to my Wii after unwrapping my fresh copy out of a parcel. I slam the disc into my Wii and start playing. I start out inside the ship, and have to press various buttons to control it. I keep following instuctions until I meet my first enemy. A Space Pirate. He fires a blast which I doge, and then bring his life to an end by simply pressing the A button! By now I have realised the amazing quality of the controls. After defeating hordes of Pirates and a Berserker Lord, I can finally move onto the first alien planet. Norion.
