leaked prototype version<\/a><\/b> of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has made its way onto the net. <\/p>\nThe 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. <\/p>\n
Interesting points about the prototype:<\/p>\n
– Prototype includes gameplay on Norion
\n– Hyper Mode can be used
\n– Wii-specific puzzles weren’t added in at this point
\n– Samus can’t reenter her ship
\n– Map layout isn’t finished
\n– Rundas event in Generator A and Ridley attack in Generator C are partially implemented
\n– Cargo Hub features an upper balcony and a different enemy layout
\n– “Dark Visor” (Prime 2) is selectable but non-functional<\/p>\n
