There is a way to achieve that, it's called " Wii Would Like To Play".

I start to seriously think about a demo to try in stores.

Dude I have metroid prime on the GC, I just dont think its OMG I need a GC for that game, just like I think halo isnt that great. I dont know about the wii version, If I were to rate metroid Id give it a 8.5(extreemly good score) I'd give halo an 8.

 edit:sorry stof I posted before seeing ur post

Like ohters have said, I personally don't want any information on the game until I get it in my hands and start playing it. That being said, I am looking forward to the commercials, I also have a feeling the corruption website will be up with in the next week..



double post see below.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I command everyone here to stop comparing Metroid to Halo! 

That makes about as much sense as comparing Frisbee to Checkers. "But they both have disks in them so they must be the same right?"

If you can compare Halo and Metroid, I can start comparing F-zero to Enchanted Arms.

I don't know, I think Dr. Stewart and Makoto have a lot in common.

Metroid is good but not OMG good, it is the best fps on the nintendo systems. The war is on!

Halo 3 vs metroid 3 vs killzone 2!!!

Who will win the war?

 I'm not sure if those titles can be directly compared. Metroid hasn't historically been a shooter, really. Certainly there was a combat aspect, but it has been accompanied with a strong adventure and puzzle aspect to it. Even the boss fights resemble high-stress puzzles, where you have to analyze and exploit weaknesses in your enemy to win. Most shooters have a much more straightforward gameplay: Shoot your enemy while avoiding being shot by your enemy. While they say this Metroid is more shooter than others, I sincerely hope they haven't gone too far down that road.

 

Furthermore, Halo has mostly succeeded as a multiplayer game, while Metroid is almost completely a single-player franchise. I'm not sure if Killzone is geared more towards the single or multiplayer experience.

 

It's apples and oranges, as far as I'm concerned.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Yeah, it's strange that Nintendo doesn't advertise this game at all... I can't find any reason for it in my dumb head



True fighters don't wear socks.

Well allow me to create some Hype for it.

"Not only will Metroid Prime 3: Corruption maintain the amazing gameplay of the Prime series, but it will also revolutionize the First person shooter controls on the Wii, subsequently bringing more major third party projects Wii bound. Can you possibly pass up the game that completely changes this generation of games? I think not!"



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
