Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii) > Opinions (348)

Lets see...as it stands right now Prime 3 is the fifth best selling metroid game. By may the end of May I say it'll surpass "Super Metroid" and become the fourth best seller. Not bad IMO.

Metroid Prime 1 gets bonus points for being the first and most original but the gameplay in part 2 was just flat out better and Prime 3 is amazing, but too straight forward compared to all other Metroid games.

I love Metroid Prime 3 but to me, I prefer Metroid Prime 2 over all the other Prime games.

I know people hated the Dark "World" Aether, but the bosses, the morphball gameplay, and the difficulty is the best of the series.

Hunters was a good game and one of the best FPS on Wii.

Innovative controls, and great graphics (for the wii). One of the best games on the Wii.
This game should eclipse the sales of the first one, but i guess the lame "hunters" is hindering these sales (just a speculation).

Metroid deserves much better sales, but since the series never sold that much, we can't complain now.

It should pass 1.5 million at the very least. 2 million IF it can actually hang on to those charts which I hope.

benjaminwillcock posted 01/02/2008, 08:53
1.5M? That means it will only go on to sell another 360,000 copies in its lifetime. No, this game will have longer legs than that. It should get something of a boost from SSBB in March and then as Wii hardware continues to push excessive numbers the game will continue to reach hardcore gamers adopting the system. There's still quite a lot of existing Wii owners who have yet to buy it, and then there's the Japanese launch which will again see a larger percentage of buyers interested in the series due to SSBB. This game will do an absolute minimum of 2M, a figure I think it could reach in the next two years. It probably won't eclipse the first Prime, but it will outsell Echoes.

Delicious Metroid.

One of my favourite things about the Prime series is that it's the only game I've played where I actually feel like I have a suit of power armor. Samus has scanners, sensors that let her see other frequencies, communications, data analysis, environmental protection, extremely augmented mobility and integrated weapons systems.

By comparison, Master Chief's armor lets him utilize an energy shield, punch things really hard, and house an AI. Yawn.

It depends on the legs but if Metroid Prime 3 reaches 2 million lifetime sales, Metroid fans have got to be happy.

But Nintendo really really needs to start pushing this series.
The quality is there, all it needs is some marketing muscle and it might one day reach Zelda like sales .... Mario sales are too much to ask of any game not named GTA, GT, Pokemon or Brain Age.

MP Corruption sales are outstanding, especially considering its relatively inexpensive development, compared to other 2007 top shooters such as, Halo 3, Bioshock, and Call of Duty 4, and the lack of a full fledged marketing campaign.

Still, the best FPS game I played this year, even considering that shooting was a small part of the game.

I gave some thought on how to say this in a polite way...lets see if it works.
Metroid( as much as I love it) has never been as popular as Mario/Zelda/pokemon/othernintendofranchise. Expecting it to sell at the same rate as the other is just plain ludicrous. You know what lets take a look at the top 4 selling metroid games shall we?
1. Metroid Prime(GC) 2.77 million
2. Metroid (the very first game) 2.73 million.
3. Metroid II: Return of Samus (gb) 1.76 milion.
4. Metroid Fusion (gba) 1.55 million.

Now I don't know about Metroid or Metroid II but I know for a fact that it took prime and fusion (which btw was released early in their consols life) 4-5 years to get those numbers. MP:C has already hit the million in the course of 4 months. It's doing just fine. Chances are by the end of the Wii's life this game will be the top selling Metroid game so really I dont see a problem here.

1M is an amazing number. Though it's not really for me to say, I don't think Halo 3 deserved to sell over 6M copies, and in my estimation it only did so though extreme Microsoft-aided hype that in no way followed through to the actual game. If Halo 3 sold the amount of copies based on the quality of the game it'd probably struggle to sell 2M copies. But then I have always regarded the Halo series to be one of the most over-hyped game series' of all time. Halo was great, in some ways revolutionary for a console FPS, but the other two were total let downs.

Considering MP3 has no online and is on a console not ordinarily known for hardcore shooters, this figure is great, especially taking into account that Metroid has never been a mainstream phenomenon. Clearly the game has very long legs (it sold over 70,000 copies last week and it has been out for months) which should carry the game to over 2M lifetime copies.

1 million is not dissapointing for a metroid game, but if halo 3 or SMG only sold 1 million copies, i'd consider that dissapointing sales.

Hmmm ... than how much does a PSP game cost to develop for Naznatips ? So if a 1 million seller for the Wii is good , than I guess that 500k for a PSP is amazing right . And lets dont start how low cost a port must be ...

I dont want to sound rude , but 1 million for what is IMO the best Wii and possibly one of the best untill now in this generation , is a bit dissapointing . Still , its no shit , I agree , just that seeing how huge are Wii and DS software sales lately , Im not shure that this million will be enough to warant it a nother entry in the serie .

Still , with some solid legs it could pass the 2 million , and than that would be enough to maybe warant a sequel :) I would really like to see a MP4 , especially if it has online multiplayer to :D

1 million is never shit. 1 million is a buttload of profits for a Wii game. Wii games cost so little to develop that 1 million sold is going to be a lot of money. Million sellers are a big deal. Comparing sales of games like Halo and Mario to a regular game and calling the sales of that game shit based on that comparison is simply ignorant. Those games are in an entirely different sales league than normal games.

I think lifetime sales should pass Echoes, I'd say Corruption will see another million over the next few years. I certainly hope so, it deserves it more than Halo 3 that's for sure. Seeing that game sell 6M irks me something fierce, good game and all, but it was basically Halo 2 with marginally sharper graphics and absolutely zero innovation. Still, as you say Omega, Metroid has never really been a mass market thing.

Metroid Prime 3 at 1 million now. Still selling decently in the USA and Pal, with Japan's launch later ....

I would say 1.5 to 2.0 million sales should be easy for Metroid Prime 3. Though I would say this game should be more of a 3 to 5 million seller, but Metroid has never been that popular to begin with.

Nintendo should really market this series more. The quality is there.

It is selling about 50k a month between the "America" and "Other" charts a week.

Still three weeks to cover till year end ... that should give it 150k more by the end of the year which will put it over a million worldwide.

So in the end, Metroid Prime 3 is not a failure, but it hasn't gained any new fanbase though.

If I had to guess why sales are pretty minimal, I'd have to say that it's because it released during the summer when school was about to start (I got this game one day before college); very few people would actually feel wanting to go out and buy a game during this time, one of the most important times of the year that require a ton of money for supplies or, in some cases, courses.

I see sales picking up for the holiday and remaining fairly consistent until spring. Although, it might not become the best selling Metroid Prime game, but then again, what do I know?

I imagine it'll pick up a lot more sales in the coming months (maybe years?)

The thing is you see this statement more and more: "hey guys I just got a Wii, what games should I buy?" A lot of people who want a Wii still can't find one. Out of my group of 10+ friends only 2 of us have one out of the 8 or 9 that want one.

Metroid Prime 3 will be near the top of the must buy list for any Wii owner who was either had a Cube or is curious what all the hubub of Metroid is all about. Needless to say, when I got this game and played the next 2 games I bought were Prime 1 and 2.

And in spite of all the "NINTENDO IS JUST KIDS STUFF, IT NEEDS MORE MATURE GAMES, ADULTS LIKE ME (I'M 15 BTW!!!!) ONLY WANT HARDCORE GAMES" you hear, the system is turning a lot more hardcore gamer heads than your average socially retarded virgin who isn't even of drinking age would like you to believe.

This game is going to sell steadily over a period of 12-24 months. It won't wow anyone week to week but when all is said and done I think sales will be impressive.

It's a great series but it's unclear to who it appeals to. Gamers, I guess.

i think the most of wii users are casual gamers and they don't want to buy this kind of games.

But hope that the wii will be used by more hardocore gamers in 08 because of new hardore games release,like tomb raider,MOH heroes 2,battalion wars2 and others

i'm sure the weakly metroid prime 3 sales will grow when the games price cut and the game officially release in europe

Someone actually bothered to make four new accounts just to troll the comments of this game? O_o

I'll only pass judgement on its quality only after I've played it (EU release in one week), but so far it seems extremely promising. Sales look like they'll end up between those of the first and second parts, unfortunately.

This game has sold one tenth as many copies as Halo 3.

This is the nail in the coffin that metroid is absolutely nowhere near as popular as Halo, Mario, or Zelda. Metroid is a game that sells 1 million and 2 million if lucky, despite how much Retro improved the formula with the phenomenal Prime 1.

This game will be lucky to pass 1 million.

Sales are dissapointing because the game isn't that great. dont get me wrong its good if you only have a wii but if you also own a 360 there are better games to be purchased.

This game is far superior to any current generation First Person game. It is amazing and deserves far more credit for pushing the genre than it has been given.

Honestly to say sorry folks yall can kill me but after Goldeneye I was sucked into Half Life/ Counter Strike and Unreal Tournament games. All these other First Person shooter games are just average compared to these three.

BUT when this fricken game came out I played it in the NINTENDO WORLD store here in manhattan. LUCKILY I bought a Wii and this game lol. Even with an Aurora based alienware computer, this game has nice Unique Artistry. Let alone the control is a wonder.... I stopped playing home consoles because of the controllers. But this wii thing, is going to make a difference with First person based games. It's not even funny. This game right here says alot of whats to come....

The screens dont make justice to how look the game really looks when its running. Great game, a must have for any gamer. If you need a reason to buy a Wii (and why havent you got one in the first place?) then this is one of the huge ones!

(9.5/10)

PS- I'll give a Wii game a perfect score when it implements Gorgeous graphics (ala Mario Galaxy or beyond), normal mapping, self-shadowing, and real time lighting all in the same game (that would actually look pretty good. I mean, if metroid has been called a true "next-gen" experience with those looks and controls, imagine a game that would include all this techniques!) I think it would come decently close to a 2nd batch 360 visuals.

It took me about 4 hours to find a complaint about the controls: Charge shot doesn't home in.

That's a testament to how awesome the control scheme is.

A truly beautiful spectacle of the Wii experience and further proof the Wii is not only a strong core gaming experience but has the potential for a strong hardcore experience as well with the best FPS controls since the mouse and keyboard.

Yes, it is really sad that the rating system is overabused. I would AT LEAST try the game before rating it, but that's probably too obvious for some people. =/

I'll probably post a review sometime, it will depend if I find some spare time but for now it's a 9.5+ for sure from me!

This is a high-profile game that most Nintendo fans are highly interested in, and was just released. Of course anti-Nintendo fanboys are going to pan it.

It still gets a 10 from me.

The strongest point I'd like to point out about this game aside from the flawless controls and stellar graphics is the seemless playthrough. Unlike past Primes, you have multiple ways to travel to different worlds and areas, mostly being able to call in your ship at several points, unlike before, where your ship had one docking spot throughout the whole game. I just love how it's easier to get around.

An extremely polished conclusion to the Prime trilogy. Any Metroid fan or Sci-Fi/shooter/adventure fan should definitely buy this game. The last five hours of this game some of the best time in a video game in years! Fantastic game, 9.8/10.

This is the best Wii game to date, and IMO the first true "Rich Wii Experience." The controls are absolutely flawless and beautiful, and they really suck you into the game. Combine that with the same level of polish and attention to detail as the other Metroid Prime games, and you get a completely amazing game.

People who are blaming Japan for this game's underwhelming sales.
a) Europe not only picked up the slack, but added .1 to it.
b) What happened to the extra 1 million people in North America who bought Prime 1?
