Metroid Prime 3 to be playable at E3?

Wii News | IGN seems to think so.
Metroid Prime 3 will be making an appearance in fully playable form at this year's E3, according to IGN's Nintendo editor, Matt Cassamina. The mini-revelation appeared on Cassamina's blog over the weekend, and saw the Nintendo ed in full-on fanboy mode, enthusing that, "I have full confidence in Retro to make Prime 3 one of, if not the must-have game of E3 2006. This will be the game that shows all other companies how to do first-person gameplay with the Revolution controller."

Big talk, then. Still, there's perhaps enough reasons to subscribe to that view, not least the fact that the two Gamecube Metroids are bloody ace. Stay tuned.

I would have thought that this was a given. Well, not close to completion, but playable at least in some form.

Well I know I certainly expect to see it at the Expo with more details announced about it, but I wasn't expecting it to be playable.
Let's hope he is right then.

Can't wait to see some footage (of the game and people playing it) for Metroid Prime 3 along with all other games.

No - she's pretty adamant. I went last year, and I'll be going again next year (doubling up with another trip), so she's putting her foot down.

I used the "best E3 ever" line and she said "that's what you said last year!"

"It WAS! Then... first look at Xbox360, first proper look at PSP (wasn't out in Oz), got good looks at Gears of War, UT2007, and many others..."

"See? You're getting all hyped up about it again!"

"Yes, but that was NOTHING compared to what this year's going to be like!"

"No"

"But..."

"No"

*sigh*

...and my girlfriend wonders why I'm not ready to get married.

Can't you swing it the other way and put your foot down?

Seriously though, good luck with that.

Nah, seriously, she's actually pretty cool, so when she wants me to do (or not do) something I usually listen. E3 is cool, but it will cost me the airfare and accommodation and because we're building our house at the moment, it's an expenditure I can't justify.

I'll just enjoy E3 from afar and download like a demon - seeking to break my record downloads in a month - 248Gb.

Yeah that sounds fair. Such a guy thing to do though, leave out the important details so the wife looks like the villain. icon_wink.gif
