Blue Liight Special: Metroid Preview

, , , ...


Today I rose from bed like a zombie who had way too many hot wings last night. As I shuffled my crippled body to the basement where I would find cloathing so that I may start my day I noticed that an ominous blue auora filled the air, and it was only then did I realize I had a Wii update! Huzzah! "Really though, so soon after the last update" I asked myself. Oh well, I checked anyway and found that it wasn't really a Wii update, but a letter from Nintendo that said that the Wii Shopping Channel had new downloadable content! and it was in fact a preview channel for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It was a very short download that put a neat channel (that I wont get rid of) that gives you two video previews from the game to watch, "Corruption" and "Bridge Fight" and two other videos that will become available 8.13.07. You can also close the docked window panel to play a game of "Uncover the cool Samus Artwork". Also the Wii Shopping Channel informs us that North America gets a Metroid Month! (thanks luther for the heads up!) The month brings us:

  • Metroid on the 13th
  • Super Metroid on the 20th.
  • Metroid Prime 3 on the 27th

P.S. Update not available in Europe, can anyone confirm Japan? Australia?
P.P.S. It also appears that the last update also changed mail notifications a little as well, A sonar ring comes out of the "mail" button with an accompanied sound to inform you of the new mail.
