Trilogy Version |
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 excluding two spin-off titles. It was released in North America and Europe in 2007, and in Japan the following year. 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.
Metroid Prime 3 was also included in the Metroid Prime: Trilogy pack which includes updated versions of its prequels: Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
Problems
Saving in NTSC release
In the NTSC version saving is broken and causes freezes.
Scanning
The scan visor will not work with EFB to Texture. Use EFB to RAM instead, and it will work fine.
Crashing
Various crashes occur, some reproducible, refer issue 2973.
Text Delay
Text doesn't fade in and out appropriately, refer issue 3171.
Non-Transparent Fog
Mid game, red fog that should be transparent is not, refer issue 3312. Revision 3.0-151 has corrected a strange "red blooming" seen in game.

r7670 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.1GHz | AMD Radeon HD 6850 | Runs flawlessly. 60fps all the time. Still has Wiimote control lag issues. Red blooming from light sources now fixed. | MegaJump |
r7670 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i5 2500k @ 3.3GHz | nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti | Struggle to reach 60fps. Enabling any kind of anti-aliasing has a serious hit on performance 20-40 frames on 4x internal res. | boeoz |
