New Play Control! Metroid Prime

Metroid Prime (New Play Control!) is a Wii rerelease of the Nintendo GameCube's Metroid Prime done as part of the New Play Control! series, which upgrades Nintendo Gamecube games to include a control scheme utilising ther unique abilities of the Wii Remote. Another Metroid game to be rereleased on the Wii is Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, making the entire Prime trilogy available on the Wii.

New Additions
While no major gameplay alterations have been made, the game has been slightly improved graphically, and the control scheme has been overhauled to be similar to the scheme of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, with Samus being controlled by the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Most of the controls remain the same as Corruption's, except that the + or - button is used to change Beams.

A Credits system similar to the system included Metroid Prime 3 will allow the player to use Red,  Blue,  Gold and  Green Credits to purchase extras such as a Screen-Shot Tool, music, or image galleries.

Release
The game was released on February 19th, 2009 in Japan, but release dates for Australia, Europe and North America have yet to be confirmed, though a 2009 release is expected.
