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!).

This Mario Kart ripoff is insane
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Surely some of you remember Duludubi Star. For those of you who may have forgotten, it’s a PC title that garnered a great deal of attention for its resemblance to Super Mario Galaxy.
There’s another Chinese-made gaming ripoff in development, and I have a feeling that it will soon be as notorious as Duludubi Star.
This “new” game – unfortunately I don’t have title to give you folks – is for the App Store. It mimics just about everything from Mario Kart Wii: tracks, power-ups, and objects including item boxes. Heck, even the graphics are comparable.
This is by far the craziest Nintendo-related ripoff I’ve seen since Duludubi Star. I’d say that it’s even worse than Super Jump Bros!
You can find a few screenshots of the App Store game above. If that’s not enough to convince you that it’s a very blatant ripoff, perhaps this trailer will convince you.
