If you think you knew what it felt like to be the bounty hunter behind
the visor, think again. Take aim at evil with Nintendo's revolutionary
controller.
•Players control Samus by moving with the Nunchuk controller and aiming
with the pointer, allowing for a level of immersion unlike anything they
have ever experienced. Through the eyes of Samus, players experience a
quantum leap in first-person control as they wield the Wii Remote, the
ultimate device for the first-person shooter genre.
•Samus will employ well-known power-ups like the Grapple Beam and Morph
Ball, as well as a bunch of new surprises, to help her survive her
coming trials.
Game storyline: The Galactic Federation's Base Sector Zero is
under attack by Space Pirates. Samus must boot up the generator to
restore the defence systems. But at the end of her path, someone awful
is waiting for her.
Characters: Samus, Dark Samus, the Galactic Federation and many
new bounty hunters.
How to progress through the game: The war initiated by Dark Samus
and the Space Pirates rages across many planets as they attempt to
corrupt each with Phazon seeds. Players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk
to explore alien landscapes, hunt for weapons and information, and
destroy the seeds. Saving the planets from Corruption isn’t enough,
though. Eventually, players must take down Samus' mortal enemy, Dark
Samus.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Besides using the Wii
Remote and Nunchuk controllers to pull off amazing feats like aiming and
blasting in midair or at a full run, players also will have an array of
different weapons at their disposal. In true Metroid fashion, these will
become powered up as the game progresses. Not only that, but the
controller will be used for a number of other game elements beyond the
traditional first-person shooter standards.
