Okay, so Gamestop discusses how games are sometimes shipped ahead of time and then released on a certain date, and the product is supposed to be available on that date. That is not common practice, however - note their use of the word "Sometimes". Usually, the main news outlets will mention this. HOWEVER: When such has NOT been mentioned, we can't assume that that's what they're doing, so the more common behavior of "releasing" the game by shipping it to stores, and having it be available in the stores a day later, is the safer assumption. 99% of all game releases follow that model, and Nintendo has given us no reason to believe they're doing otherwise for MP3 (rumors notwithstanding).
As always, if you can find an official source (note emphasis) that states that the game is being shipped earlier than the 27th and is intended for a delayed release on the 28th, then we'll have a credible reason to use the 28th release date. But so far, I have not found one. I see:
And while it's not an official source, the forum at IGN also addresses this with the same conclusion as I've pointed out in this thread. Check it out here.
I don't mean to be rude or overly harsh in this, but there is extremely little evidence to support that Nintendo is actually releasing MP3 on the 28th.

Fix it up if it's going back up. The Preview Channel for MP3 is only available in America, so don't make it seem as if it's up for grab for every Wii system. And steer clear of saying how many videos are there. It could be four or five. Even on the shop channel details they said that it will get updated.-- ChibiMrBubbles 17:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Because that takes work, the paragraph was mis-worded and was misleading to the reader. It also didn't belong under Develo. sub. If there was a demo, then it would since Retro had to develop a small portion of game to share. Anyway, Make it under "Marketing" (akin to MP2's wiki). Also make mention that because of the release of MP3 Nintendo is running Metroid Month promotion on the Virtual Console.-- ChibiMrBubbles 12:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
The preview channel is a promotional channel. Things like audio, delays, etc fall under development, not surplus promotional material. The paragraph leads the reader to the assumption that it can be downloaded at any time (limited time promotion) and is only accessible to all Wiis (Only North American Wiis can download it). That alone is poorly worded and mis-informs the reader. Because the promotional material does not belong under development I took it out. It had no relevance to the development of the game and was once again poorly written. I do concede to removing the entire paragraph, as I should had edited what seem to be misinformation, but I would still have to make a new sub and I didn't want to cause problems.
And of course I'm not making you, I'm TRYING TO HELP editors who choose to add it in. There is no need for such a trollish statement.-- ChibiMrBubbles 16:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

After doing alot of research on Metroid Prime Three Corruption I was wondering "will this video game have online play?" Now sadly to my suprise all of the pages I researched said that Metroid Prime Three has been focused on it's single player game play. But for all of those people out there who are Big Metroid Prime fans you don't have to be completely upset because this video-game has not been released yet there is still a little bit of hope. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.248.87 ( talk • contribs)

I've heard that MP3's disc will contain and, if needed, automatically install the latest Wii firmware update, w/c could potentially brick modded consoles. Does anyone have a reliable source for this though? Nintenboy01 02:09, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Unlike the update in the Super Paper Mario disk and the usual online updates on the Wii, the last update had a warning that told you that your Wii could potentially cease functioning if you had it modded, before commencing with the update. I suspect that once you insert the MP3 disk into the Wii, a warning message not unlike this one will pop up and tell you what is included in the update. If you've modded your console, bought Metroid Prime 3, and recieved this warning message, and still decided to go through with this update, well you there is just no helping you then.

←Okay, I've cleaned up the plot. It's still very long and probably contains more detail than it needs to, but it more strictly follows the flow of the game and no longer contains OR about the backstory. At this point, we should be able to focus on condensing the detail to be more like a summary. — KieferSkunk ( talk) — 19:02, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I've helped out to trim that plot significantly. (It's not so important to describe each Hunter aspect or seed aspect individually - it's the Corruption part that's important); when you do that, that trims the plot by loads. -- Masem 05:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I personally think that it should be mentioned that the ship resembles Sylux's Delano 7. It's mentioned that a ship follows Samus at the end of the 100% ending, so why not specify what it looks like? It isn't speculation that it looks like Sylux's Delano 7, it looks nigh identical to it. It might not be Sylux because his ship is stolen blueprints from the Galatic Federation, but it still looks like the Delano 7. So it should be mentioned the ship RESEMBLES Sylux's Delano 7.

It needs to be said it resembles Sylux's Delano 7. [8] That is a picture of Sylux's Delano 7 and [9] that is a picture of the ship from MP3. They don't look identical, that could easily just be because of the graphical differences or an in-game reason like it's not Sylux's exact ship or maybe it's the final version of the prototype he stole. The fact still remains though that both ships DO look incredibly similar. Both have that main body, with a 2 sets of arms coming out from the corners then straightening out with the front two being blocky and the back two be long and pointed. I'm saying it should be said the ships look similar, not that they're the same ship. Anyone of a sane mind that sees pictures of both would say they look at least semi-similar.

I remember reading for the longest time that "Correuption will have multiplayer but not in the same style as Echoes" or something like that. The game comes out next month and we still have no idea if there's splitscreen multiplayer? Or was this confirmed somewhere and I missed it? ShadowUltra 14:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
There is no multiplayer. The game disc confirms this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellowhat ( talk • contribs) 03:19, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

It has been over a year and the article has improved quite a bit. I suggest that the cleanup tag be removed because of this. Marlith 04:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
"It is currently unspecified whether or not Samus will speak in Metroid Prime 3" I just got the latest issue of Nintendo Power yesterday. In its article on the game, it mentioned the full Voice Acting, but specifically mentioned that Samus would remain silent as in previous games.

I noticed in the IGN movie of when you start in Samus' ship,that when the computer screen starts to malfunction,you can see the words,"Wii Format" appear briefly on the screen,so I just wanted to know if we should put this anywhere in the article. XLS724 23:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

A Wii Channel dedicated to a Metroid Prime 3 preview has been added in Wii Shop. Should this be mentioned in the article in some fashion? Youkai no unmei 13:57, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
http://wii.nintendo.com/software_metroid.jsp Lists the release date as 8/28/07, and the article stated 8/27/07....? GreenAiden555 07:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Fix it up if it's going back up. The Preview Channel for MP3 is only available in America, so don't make it seem as if it's up for grab for every Wii system. And steer clear of saying how many videos are there. It could be four or five. Even on the shop channel details they said that it will get updated.-- ChibiMrBubbles 17:06, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Because that takes work, the paragraph was mis-worded and was misleading to the reader. It also didn't belong under Develo. sub. If there was a demo, then it would since Retro had to develop a small portion of game to share. Anyway, Make it under "Marketing" (akin to MP2's wiki). Also make mention that because of the release of MP3 Nintendo is running Metroid Month promotion on the Virtual Console.-- ChibiMrBubbles 12:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
The preview channel is a promotional channel. Things like audio, delays, etc fall under development, not surplus promotional material. The paragraph leads the reader to the assumption that it can be downloaded at any time (limited time promotion) and is only accessible to all Wiis (Only North American Wiis can download it). That alone is poorly worded and mis-informs the reader. Because the promotional material does not belong under development I took it out. It had no relevance to the development of the game and was once again poorly written. I do concede to removing the entire paragraph, as I should had edited what seem to be misinformation, but I would still have to make a new sub and I didn't want to cause problems.
And of course I'm not making you, I'm TRYING TO HELP editors who choose to add it in. There is no need for such a trollish statement.-- ChibiMrBubbles 16:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey, i was wondering if we should add something. If you pay close attention at the end of the aurora unit video, doesn't it look like mother brain's "chamber" at the end of the original metroid. Do ya think it is worth mentioning? Wii2-13 15:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

After doing alot of research on Metroid Prime Three Corruption I was wondering "will this video game have online play?" Now sadly to my suprise all of the pages I researched said that Metroid Prime Three has been focused on it's single player game play. But for all of those people out there who are Big Metroid Prime fans you don't have to be completely upset because this video-game has not been released yet there is still a little bit of hope. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.248.87 ( talk • contribs)
Supposedly Toys R Us leaked this game along with Bioshock, but Bioshock's getting the publicity. Someone posted pics of himself playing the game, holding the case, and the instruction manual. I've yet to see these pics, however. ShadowUltra 04:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay, seriously, we can't go on just "Supposedly, there might be a video of someone playing the game" to establish any news of leaks or early releases. Please cite a real source (one that isn't just a rumor mill), or else we can't treat it as anything more than a rumor ourselves. — KieferSkunk ( talk) — 01:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I've heard that MP3's disc will contain and, if needed, automatically install the latest Wii firmware update, w/c could potentially brick modded consoles. Does anyone have a reliable source for this though? Nintenboy01 02:09, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Unlike the update in the Super Paper Mario disk and the usual online updates on the Wii, the last update had a warning that told you that your Wii could potentially cease functioning if you had it modded, before commencing with the update. I suspect that once you insert the MP3 disk into the Wii, a warning message not unlike this one will pop up and tell you what is included in the update. If you've modded your console, bought Metroid Prime 3, and recieved this warning message, and still decided to go through with this update, well you there is just no helping you then. Link's Awakening 04:15, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Updating on a non-US console with the update does nothing other than add a duplicate weather and news channel, everything still functions fine as does the game. http://psx-scene.com/forums/wiikey/58908-metroid-prime-3-a.html http://psx-scene.com/forums/wiikey/58942-metroid-prime-corruption-pal-wii-wiikey.html scatman839 22:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Nintendo tends to put firmware updates in most if not all of their titles, from my experience. Even Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree contains a firmware update.-- 4.242.15.124 07:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

In the Metroid Prime (first) article, it says Nintendo Power gave it 10/10 which makes a claim in the Reception section of this article false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.98.180.3 ( talk) 06:02, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
You all probably are aware of this, but the plot summary needs to be updated now that the game is out, and now that several people have beaten then game. Just posting a reminder. ( 124.121.93.216 12:09, 30 August 2007 (UTC))
Has anyone beaten this game yet? I simply must know who the final boss is! Is it just some Aurora Unit? To avoid spoilers you can post the answer on my talk page. I'm sorry, I just haven't been able to get a copy yet, but I don't mind getting spoiled. Nintenboy01 21:26, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Should the thing about Sylux's Ship (alledgelly) being seen at the 100% ending be included in the plot synopsis even though it just speculation at this time? Hyperfan 02:43, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Fixed title of the section. When you have a very large monitor and it still takes up the entire screen, it doesn't qualify as a plot synopsis anymore. Hyperfan 05:16, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't you add spoiler warnings to the plot summary? I don't think the plot is different to, say a movie or a book. Let me know what you think. Icestorm815 05:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
←Okay, I've cleaned up the plot. It's still very long and probably contains more detail than it needs to, but it more strictly follows the flow of the game and no longer contains OR about the backstory. At this point, we should be able to focus on condensing the detail to be more like a summary. — KieferSkunk ( talk) — 19:02, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Again, is it wise to put the Sylux thing at the end of the plot section? While we all know it's probably him, I still don't think he should be in the section. Hyperfan 04:08, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I've helped out to trim that plot significantly. (It's not so important to describe each Hunter aspect or seed aspect individually - it's the Corruption part that's important); when you do that, that trims the plot by loads. -- Masem 05:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I personally think that it should be mentioned that the ship resembles Sylux's Delano 7. It's mentioned that a ship follows Samus at the end of the 100% ending, so why not specify what it looks like? It isn't speculation that it looks like Sylux's Delano 7, it looks nigh identical to it. It might not be Sylux because his ship is stolen blueprints from the Galatic Federation, but it still looks like the Delano 7. So it should be mentioned the ship RESEMBLES Sylux's Delano 7.

"The C button (located on Nunchuck) morphs Samus to her Morph ball form, the Z trigger locks on and scans targets."

This article could be improved with some screenshots, can someone who has the game take a few good ones (I hear it can take and email them in-game?) - Leif902 23:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I could do that, but how do you get a camcorder to record something from the TV? As for a mad genius coming up with a way to send screenshots to a computer, couldn't you have a computer send an e-mail to someone's Wii, and then have that person reply to the e-mail and attach a screenshot with their reply? 24.117.164.51 03:16, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
There needs to be a balance of pros and cons and at the moment it is to positive, one person even said without citation is could be game of the year which is just biased. Of cource we can keep what there already is but add on some cons to retain neutrality. Stabby Joe 14:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

“Samus travels between the planets of Bryyo and Elysia, and the Pirate Homeworld, finding Chozo artifacts to further improve her powers.”
"Chozo artifacts" is misleading. This needs to be replaced with "upgrades to further upgrade her suit." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.135.128.121 ( talk) 21:27, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

It needs to be said it resembles Sylux's Delano 7. [8] That is a picture of Sylux's Delano 7 and [9] that is a picture of the ship from MP3. They don't look identical, that could easily just be because of the graphical differences or an in-game reason like it's not Sylux's exact ship or maybe it's the final version of the prototype he stole. The fact still remains though that both ships DO look incredibly similar. Both have that main body, with a 2 sets of arms coming out from the corners then straightening out with the front two being blocky and the back two be long and pointed. I'm saying it should be said the ships look similar, not that they're the same ship. Anyone of a sane mind that sees pictures of both would say they look at least semi-similar.
