electronics boutique has the release date set at 06/01/2007
previously there was something indicating winter 2007 but we already went over that. there is more winter in the first quarter of the year than in the last. Winter is from Dec 21 - March 20. That means there is 11 full days of winter in Q4 and 2 months & 20 days in Q1
regardless that rumor is old. unless there is some sort of official proclimation that prime 3 is being released in Dec 2007
As stated above Electronics Boutique/Gamestop have it listed as released 06/01/2007
Futureshop has it March 30, 2007
Best Buy has it at March 30, 2007

quoteSourceFirst Look: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
First Look by Vicious Sid | 01/04/2007 | 16:10:37 PM PST |
We just got back from a marathon gaming session, and Metroid was one of the most interesting titles that we played at Nintendo's super-secret, invite-only gaming session.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Definitely stole the the show. The graphics looked amazing -- better than Halo 2 on the Xbox without a doubt -- and the levels showed off sparkling details, proving the Wii is far more powerful than the Gamecube. Out of all the games we played, the Wii controller seemed most at home with Metroid.
You don't fire with your index finger, but with your thumb (using the A button). This sounds a little goofy, but in practice it worked very, very well. You could press the directional pad to fire rockets or enter your scanning mode, and the trigger (aka the B button) handled jumps very nicely. Samus has a few new moves that take advantage of the motion-sensitive controller. By locking onto a target and thrusting the left nunchuku forward, Samus could launch a grappling beam. The beam is similar to Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun, but was mostly used to push rubble out of the way, open grates, or in a nice touch, yank shields from enemy hands. The other major Wii functionality was that some control panels needed to be lifted, rotated, and pushed back into slots -- these movements were all handled on the Wii controller.
Aiming with the point-and-shoot controller felt very nice, though it took a few minutes to become truly comfortable. The experience was much like playing a PC first-person shooter, especially since the nunchucku analog stick controlled movement We found that standing roughly four feet from the TV provided the best motion, and the cursor stayed smooth and steady -- no shakiness! The frame rate was also smooth and consistent, even when the screen got crowded with special effects.
Metroid was probably the best Wii game on display. Wii can't wait to play more!
Lookin' good.

Are they still going to have it like you go to multiple planets in the game? I thought that was a cool idea. And to use your Gunship. I hope there is no dark world, that got boring and cliched REAL fast.

THe last info we got still talked about the different planets, but Nintendo has been dark so long about this game, who knows.
I seriously doubt they will incorporate the dark world though. It wasn't particularly fun or original in echos.

quote bbb7002004I've read somewhere that that won't be happening, as it was the main feature of Echoes. And no, it wasn't that fun, I agree.I seriously doubt they will incorporate the dark world though. It wasn't particularly fun or original in echos.
