Who's picking this badboy up on Tuesday? According to the latest previews this is going to be the Prime game to top them all. We finally learn how Mother Brain returns in Super Metroid, as well as a few other tidbits that link Prime to Metroid II. Essentially Prime 3 wraps up the Phazon narrative while explaining the story behind the Space Pirate activites between games.

Here's some hands-on impressions from IGN:

"Corruption is further differentiated from Echoes in that its environments are incredibly varied. You won't be exploring drab purple Dark Worlds in this adventure, which spans across multiple planets, each with a highly stylized appearance. Like the original Prime, you'll travel from space station to earthly locales that marry the high-tech with the biological."

"Corruption plays better than any of its predecessors due in large to the new Wii control scheme. Unlike The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, a game whose control scheme worked very well, but also felt like it originated from a GCN design, Prime 3 feels like it was designed from the beginning for the Wii remote and nunchuk."

Also IGN has posted a retrospective of the Metroid series here http://games.ign.com/articles/815/815011p1.html - http://games.ign.com/articles/815/815011p1.html .
