Features[]
Gameplay Footage[]
In the beginning, the Channel had only two gameplay videos of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but as time went on, additional videos were added to the Channel. There were 10 gameplay movies available to watch and stream via the Internet before Nintendo retired the channel.
Concept Art[]
On the upper right-hand corner of the video selection menu, there is a flashing square. Clicking on this square minimized the menu and gives the user access to the background image. By holding the A button the Wii Remote and moving the on-screen cursor around the image, another image, this time, of Samus, is revealed. Once all of the tiles are changed, or the player hits "Reveal," this concept art is fully exposed. Clicking "Erase" causes the first image to appear again, but this time, changing the tiles, a second image appears, also with Samus.
Trivia[]
- This channel uses the same banner music from the full Metroid Prime 3 game.
