Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a first-person action-adventure game developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Wii video game console. It is the tenth game in the Metroid series, and the final entry in the Metroid Prime Trilogy. The Wii Remote and Nunchuk devices are featured in a new control scheme that took a year to develop and caused the game's release to be delayed several times.

Gameplay for Metroid Prime 3 is similar to its predecessors: players explore open ended worlds, finding story clues and power ups, solving puzzles, jumping on platforms, and fighting enemies. Unlike past games however, the game is divided into several open worlds; each world is smaller than the single open world environments of Metroid Prime or Metroid Prime 2, but the combined size is greater. As with Metroid Prime 2, exploring the worlds is not aimless: players explore the world freely, but there are specific tasks meant to be accomplished on each world which are told to you beforehand. The game also includes hypermode, a phazon overload system that allows players to exchange health for massive damage. The biggest change is the controls. Metroid Prime 3 uses a new control system using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, allowing free aiming and movement similar to mouse and keyboard controls.

Metroid Prime 3 was also included in Metroid Prime: Trilogy, which includes updated versions of its prequels: Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Problems
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|

Constant Wii Remote Disconnects
Since, when using the MS Bluetooth Stack (the default bluetooth stack on Windows) Prime 3 will think that the Wii Remote is constantly disconnecting. Pressing a button on the Wii Remote will restore it, but it will disconnect again seconds later. Windows users can disable "Enable Speaker Data" to solve this problem, or move to either the Toshiba Stack or the DolphinBar.

Bloom Offset
Prime 3 has noticeable bloom offset problems. It will have several copies of the bloom spread out from the source, and can be very distracting. The only solution is to disable "Scaled EFB Copy", but this has some issues of its own. See.

Visors
The Scan visor will only work if Store EFB Copies to Texture Only is disabled. Though Store EFB Copies to Texture Only is forced off by the GameINI, visor issues may still occur if the graphics configuration window is opened during gameplay. Disable Store EFB Copies to Texture Only in the Dolphin GUI to avoid any problems.

Dot
When playing above 1x Native internal resolution, there is a dot in the center of the screen. It's small and easy to ignore, but it's always there. There is no fix for this problem.

The Black Bar
If the CPU and GPU threads of Dolphin desync too much during lag, a black bar may show up at the bottom of the screen. It takes up 15% of the screen space and "squishes" the game in the remaining space. The black bar will remain there from then on whether stuttering continues or ceases. Because shader compilation stuttering is the main cause for these desyncs on a powerful computer, enabling Hybrid Mode Ubershaders or Exclusive Mode Ubershaders should help with preventing this issue. Enabling Single Core will remove any risk of this issue occurring. Fixed with Hybrid XFB in.
