Well, I just beat Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Nintendo Wii.

It took me 12 hours, according to the game itself, which sounds about right. I played it a little under three hours each weekday since I got it, except for Friday. Saturday had barely any playing, but Sunday was like a blitzkrieg. I just motored through the game like mad.

And I beat it. Got the best ending too. I will describe it at the end of this post for those who:

1) Don’t want a spoiler mid post 2) Won’t ever own the game 3) Are too lazy to get the best ending themselves

Ultimately, I thought the last boss was a little too difficult. That is to say, the last boss was impossible. You had to battle a three phase boss while you are - in essence - dying. It was just unfair. The final phase had a sliver of health when I “succumbed to my injuries”, so to speak.

Despite that, I enjoyed it. I loved the new items too. The Grapple Volt, which allows you to drain energy, was a nice touch. I loved stealing health from some weaker enemies, and then unloading it on those Space Pirates w/ shields, causing parts of them to explode.

I was disappointed that there were not as many giant enemies in this one. Where were the Omega Pirates, or whatever they were. Did the Space Pirate’s just give up on the strongest troops they had? Doesn’t make much sense.

Anyway, enough of that. Sleepy time now. It is 2:10 AM, after all.

100% ENDING - SPOILERS TO FOLLOW:

After passing out in the Phazon cave on Phaaze, Samus inexplicably has made it back to her ship and through the wormhole before the planet exploded. Apparently, the reason that the Federation ship didn’t hear from Samus is because she refuses to talk. Anyway, she sends them her typical “Mission Complete” message. The Admiral salutes, Samus waves, and she speeds off.

The scene switches to her in Skyland on Elysia, looking up at the clouds and remembering her fellow hunters.

Credits roll

Samus gets up. Walks back to her gunship. Takes off her suit (where does it teleport too, and what happens to all her upgrades, they were gone). Anyway, she gets into the gunship, flies off into the sunset, and warps out of the galaxy. But then, another fighter appears behind her, locks its s-foils in attack position, and speeds off after her.

It looks as if the Huntress has become the Hunted.
