US Metroid Prime 3 date News
Wii News by Tom Bramwell
Metroid Prime 3 will be out in that there America on 20th August, Nintendo said today, in one of those press release things full of release dates.
Retro Studios' third instalment in the first-person action-adventure series was one of the first Wii games ever glimpsed (remember the very first E3 trailer?), but its development has been protracted by Nintendo's obvious desire to get it right.
Indeed, as recently as April, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said it wouldn't be released until the publisher was quite satisfied. "The fact with Metroid is we want to make sure that that game is perfect," he said.
Meanwhile, there were lots of other games on the Nintendo summer list for Wii and DS (included below), but only a few with solid dates that we haven't already had set down for Europe independently (DK Jungle Climber on the DS, for example - 10th September).

About time too. The Wii is crying out for some more great first party titles.
I was starting to worry about it (I don't own one myself, but I want it to do well on principle and trying new things benefits everyone). |

Metroid ain't gonna sell consoles...
It sold consoles since the SNES days. |

Agreed. Metroid is close to being a system seller I would say. Certainly if it has a good control system that really makes use of the Wiimote. Mario Galaxy is another killer app in my book too.
That said, more quality games of all types are welcome. Less of the badly ported tat is all I ask for. |

Other than metroid, that list looks depressing (the wii that is).
Edit: Screw Metroid. Look, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.

This is what I don't understand when most American titles get shipped to japan very very few of them are translated into Japanese and no one cares.
I very much doubt there are that many videogame playing Europeans that can't at least read English, translating into multiple languages is an archaic excuse, as is removing content to fit all the other subs in. |

Aside fomr Metroid Prime 3 there's nothing there that really excites me. Come on Nintendo. I've been a Nintendo fan since the NEs but now I find myself being drawn more and more to my 360. I know quality over quantity is important but I think Ninetndo us taking it too far. Maqrio, Zelda and Metroid games are all amazing when they come out but then there's almost nothing else inbetween.

Pfft. Yeh, they said this would be out in like March now its August. Want to make sure the game is perfect? Yeh, they spent that long on Zelda and look how JAW DROPPING that was. Seriously, Nintendo, I can't afford to buy all of the games I will ever play on the Wii in Autumn at once. I don't what to believe from them anymore.

I disagree actually, I think that translations are especially important now...
The Wii has been bought by the 'non-gaming' crowd and therefor all games have to be as accessible as possible... I'd think Nintendo are hoping that the people who bought it for Wii Sports will give Super Paper Mario a chance...But if they deny translations then only the hardcore crowd will pick it up... Though I don't really understand why it would have to take that much time... It shouldn't take more than a few days... (And yes I have translated before, and I know the amount of effort that has to go into it) EDIT: Damn you Gratamatics!

This actually made me gasp, please, please Nintendo don't delay Metroid 3 and BWii for Europe! Super Paper Mario was an acceptable delay, these two would not be, aside from Brawl these are the games I'm most looking forward too.

>Halo 3 is DOOOOOMED!
>Talk about reacting to Halo 3's announcement, Dont get me wrong, i've never like metroid prime games. But comparing metroid to halo is doing it an injustice. Metroid is an action adventure game with puzzle and fps and 3rd person exploring parts. Halo is just a mind numbing shooter. Not the same kettle of fish in any stroke of the imagination. |

@ MARKIV
In case you hadn't noticed, loads of publishers are having press days and making major announcements in lieu of the now-defunct E3... like MSoft and Halo 3, for example. Nintendo's got a press do starting tomorrow, so no surprise that it's announced its forthcoming games for summer. |

"And smelly comes to nintendo's defence to strike again"
WTF??? Are you a fucking retarded moron or what? Where in my above post do i "come to nintendo's defence"? All i said was that metroid and halo arent the same type of game. And i've stated NUMEROUS times on this site that i dont like metroid. FFS.. There's some retarded fuckwit xbox fanboys on this site, all you have to do is mention halo or gears of snore and they immediately presume you're slagging of their wankbox. |

"nintendo had to do this otherwise it would have been foolish releasing after Halo 3 because of the hype of Halo it could have affected the sales of Metroid substantially. "
In what way? They're both completely different styles of games. One is an action adventure, one is running down coridors pointing a cursor at something and pressing the "fire" button. That's like comparing oblivion with doom, as they're both in first person? Do you really think people are going to look at halo 3 and think "oh shite, that's amazing, it's another generic fps game i've seen millions of times before, i REALLY must sell my wii and get a 360 instead?". And not to mention they're obviously on two completely different platforms. I fail to see how one would effect the sales of the other? It's not as if historically metroid has been a system seller or anything is it? It REALLY sold the DS and cube didnt it? |

"smelly no one is doubting the wii's selling power but I think Halo will sell around five times as much as Metroid "
And im not arguing with you. Although five times more is probably a bit of an over-estimate. That'd require every 360 owner to buy halo - which aint gonna happen (because i for one wont be getting it.. But then i doubt i'll get metroid either) As i said, metroid has NEVER been a big system seller. But (i'll repeat myself) i fail to see how halo will influence metroid sells (or vice versa)?

smelly i think you should maybe think about changing your account name and starting from scratch, in this thread people seem to be completely disregarding your points and just being intent on being defensive about their precious halo. What makes it even funnier is that it was what seems like an xbot that started it off in the 1st place!
Just to throw in my own 2 cents and repeat what has been said too many times before, what in the hell has Halo got to do with Metroid? They aren't in the same genre ffs, there aren't many games like metroid prime, there are however fps games in abundance, so pick one of them to compare halo to, just stay away from the likes of Half Life though as that game is above and beyond comparison to a generic console shooter. |

I reckon it will, with the Wii60 console combo being the popular choice if you're not going for a 360, then thats 2 AAA titles coming out in a very short space of time, coupled with the fact that 90% of the installed fnabase of 360 owners are rabid yanks who will be solely focussed on Halo, if Metroid Launched after Halo then it wouldn't get a look in for several months, after which time the fuss about it would have died down and the next big thing would be on the horizon. And so Metroid would lose out again, I think that this is the reason for the date and also the fact that it was anounced just after the H3 release date was confirmed. |
