Metroid Prime 3: Corruption prototype unearthed
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News, Wii | 0 comments
A leaked prototype version of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has made its way onto the net.
The build, taken from early 2006, was made with the GameCube in mind. The entire prototype can be played with a GameCube controller (or a Wiimote), so that’s a strong indication that Retro Studios was making the title for old hardware. As we now know, the project was eventually switched over to Wii.
Interesting points about the prototype:
– Prototype includes gameplay on Norion
– Hyper Mode can be used
– Wii-specific puzzles weren’t added in at this point
– Samus can’t reenter her ship
– Map layout isn’t finished
– Rundas event in Generator A and Ridley attack in Generator C are partially implemented
– Cargo Hub features an upper balcony and a different enemy layout
– “Dark Visor” (Prime 2) is selectable but non-functional
You can find a bunch of prototype images in the gallery above (apologies for the blurriness!).

Crush3D pushed back to March
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Crush3D’s release date has been bumped around a couple of times. It was originally on track for a February release… which became January.
It was due out today, but the game is nowhere to be seen. That’s because SEGA has secretly pushed the title back to March.
The company hasn’t provided a specific release date. It can be expected sometime in March, however.

A couple of quick Retro Studios updates
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Let’s quickly talk about Retro Studios, shall we?
First, Eric Kozlowsky’s comment on his blog in which he said “I can’t talk about it too much but if all goes well it might just be one of my crowning achievements as an artist” apparently has nothing to do with gaming. It isn’t related to Retro or a new project.
That’s what he told his followers on Twitter before he closed his account.
Kozlowsky had left this comment on Twitter as well:
“One of my co-workers brought in EVERY season of MST3K! Crunch time is going to be WAY more tolerable this year!”
Some folks have been quick to assume that this means Retro Studios’ new title, whatever it may be, is coming this year. While it’s possible that Nintendo could publish the game in 2012, remember that some staff assisted on the development of Mario Kart 7… that may have cut into their resources a bit. Plus I’m sure Nintendo will want them to polish their new game extensively so that it reaches a high level of quality.
We’ll see what happens…
