A reader over at GoNintendo has managed to get his hands on the latest edition of Play, where the staff appear to have played the eagerly anticipated Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Nintendo Wii.

Some fresh new details are going to be posted below, and there may be one or two spoilers, particularly regarding boss fights at the end of the first level. So, if you don't want to read them, we suggest you look away...now.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Details *Spoilers*

- First level - You are attacked on a spaceship while meeting with the ship's captain�action packed

- Play feels motion controls work better than dual joystick

- Super sensitive pointer in "advanced" mode

- Beam stacking ala Super Metroid

- Visor switch: Hold minus and flick Wiimote in certain directions

- Boss fight with Ridley at the end of the first level. Excellent difficulty curve by the time you reach the boss.

- Back tracking in MP3:C makes more sense than in previous Primes

- Extra development time was to give the game more polish. Nintendo wanted "Twilight Princess" levels of polish. Game is focused on Metroid fans and hardcore gamers, but still accessible to newcomers due to controls.

- Second level - floating city focused on exploration

- Larger environments, bloom lighting, better textures than Prime 2

- Corruption Mode not available in demo

- Play says it could be the biggest revolution in FPS gaming since Halo.

Excellent stuff! We'll keep you posted in the near future for any other details regarding this game that we can find.
