Six months have passed since the events on the planet Aether.
The Galactic Federation's network computers, Aurora
Units, are suddenly and completely corrupted with
something like a virus, and only quick action saves
the entire network from going down. The Federation
believes Space Pirates may be behind the problem
and, beginning with Samus, starts to contact bounty
hunters.
Characters
Samus, Dark Samus, the Galactic
Federation, new bounty hunters Ghor, Rundas and
Gandrayda.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features
Besides
using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to pull
off amazing feats like aiming and blasting in midair
or at a full run, players also have an array of
different weapons at their disposal. In true Metroid
fashion, these become powered up as the game
progresses. Multiple sensitivity settings for aiming
ensure that the game controls like a dream for both
novice players and veteran first-person shooter
enthusiasts. Not only that, but the controller is
used for a number of other game elements beyond the
traditional first-person shooter standards, like
physically interacting with machinery (by pushing,
twisting and pulling the Wii Remote) and latching
onto things with Samus' grapple beam (by casting
forward and then yanking back the Nunchuk). Players
can also access their different visors via a
quick-select system: They simply hold down the Minus
button and point at their selection.
Advanced Aiming
Advanced players will find the
Lock-on Free Aiming system is unparalleled. Players
can lock the camera on enemies with the Nunchuk's Z
button, yet still have complete control of where
they aim with the Wii Remote. The result is perfect
first-person control.
Game Features
Truly feel what it is to be the bounty hunter
behind the visor.
Players become Samus with the Wii controls. By
moving around with the Nunchuk and aiming Samus' gun
with the Wii Remote, players do more than look
through the eyes of Samus - they experience a
quantum leap in first-person control. Fire on the
run, grapple enemies and yank off their shields or
manipulate machinery with movements of the Nunchuk
and Wii Remote - it all adds up to a level of
immersion only possible on Wii, and the best
first-person controls on any platform, period.
Corruption is everywhere... Dark Samus, Samus'
longtime nemesis, is corrupting entire planets by
launching enormous seeds called Leviathans into
them. Samus must travel to multiple planets - each
with unique alien landscapes and dangers to prevent
the planets from being completely corrupted, all the
while fighting the spreading Phazon that threatens
to take over her body completely. As it corrupts
her, it also grants her incredible powers.
Enter Hypermode! Samus employs a
never-before-used device called a Phazon Enhancement
Device (PED) that harnesses the Phazon within her
and puts her into a state called Hypermode. In
Hypermode, Samus can destroy Phazon impediments and
annihilate enemies with superpowered weapons ... but
it drains her health to use it. If she doesn't empty
her Phazon meter within a certain time frame she
risks utter corruption under the control of Dark
Samus. Players need to carefully balance their need
for ultimate power with the inherent danger of
corruption.
