There's a new channel available to download from the WiiWare section in the shopping area. It's a promotion for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, offering a trailer and some gameplay footage.
So far it's only available in the US. If you're not in the states, or you're just lazy, here's what what happens:
Here's hoping the controls are as tight as the footage suggests.
The Virtual Console will be getting its share of Metroid action as well, with the original Metroid for NES and Super Metroid both being released in the next two weeks.

Awesome! When I got TP it was my first zelda game and it was mad and now this is going to be my first metroid game, I can't WAIT.
Gonzo said:
Downloaded it already, it's just videos like this. Two more videos will come on August 13th. I also downloaded Everybody Votes by myself for free. And what are you doing at 3:00 in the morning.
Gonzo said:
My sketching thing at the end of mine is different.
Jarin said:
Maybe Nintendo really is going to advertise a ton of metroid info before release date.
Omega Red said:
Awesome, I had to stop it before it finished I didn't want to ruin the "experience" of downloading and watching it myself!
DEL said:
Now that looks awesome! Any word if the UK will get it? You've got to love Nintendo's thinking- new channels to promote games! They must be working on a demo channel.

As good as Metroid 1 and 3 are, they should have spaced them out more. It really sucks though because school is about to reopen. Thanks a lot Nintendo.
Scooby Jew said:
I saw Ridley! There's honestly no Metroid without Ridley. The rapid-fire was probably the coolest feature I saw on the trailer, but I'm not saying that's the only one. Can't wait to get this game.
Lurve Wii said:
Wow now. "One Last Mission" No more metroid?! Anyone care to elaborate?
Wiimaster said:
Hell yeah.
divinity boy said:
That big thing at 3:05 must have been a phazon seed right? A leviathan? Anyways, that trailer was AWESOME. I want to buy it even more now. But Mario is still better.

There seems to be a lock-on thingy at work here. But that's besides the point, I just can't wait. This looks awesome!
BonbonJoe said:
Woah.
deathly wiizard said:
Just one word: PERFECT, well another: Amazing! This is finally a sequel of metroid prime, hell yeah.
Andrew said:

Also available in Canada. I won't lie, I downloaded it.
Gonzo said:
Yea, I really can't wait for this game.
TheMetroid said:
Woohoo! Metroid 1, 3, and 11! (in order of relase.).
TheMetroid said:
Damn. Mine didn't download that fast. What's wrong with my system?
Mr Friend said:
The download speed is probably your wireless internets fault.
DragonFoxCoon said:
I'm hoping that the "One Last Mission" line meant the end of the Prime trilogy, and not the end of Metroid. Otherwise, I'm drooling for this game.
world wide wii said:
I don't need rapid fire, all I do is tap the A button really fast. But rapid fire is still cool.

Sweet, I hope this happens in the uk when it's a month away here.
