ABOUT THE GAME

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a 2007 action-adventure game developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Wii. The seventh main Metroid game, it was released in North America on August 27, 2007, followed by Europe on October 26, Australia on November 8, and Japan on March 6, 2008. Corruption is set six months after Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004). The player controls the bounty hunter Samus Aran, who becomes infected with Phazon by her doppelgänger, Dark Samus. Samus works to prevent the Phazon from spreading to other planets while being corrupted by the Phazon. The player uses the Wii Nunchuk to move and the Wii Remote to jump, aim and fire. Corruption introduces features such as Hypermode, which allows Samus to use more powerful attacks, and the ability to command her gunship. The new control scheme took a year to develop and delayed the release several times. The game was first shown to the public at the E3 2005 trade show. Like the previous Prime games, Corruption received acclaim for its gameplay, graphics and music, though some were divided on the controls. More than one million copies were sold in 2007. It was rereleased in 2009 as part of the compilation Metroid Prime: Trilogy. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was released on December 4, 2025 for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
