Bryan Walker, who was Retro Studios’ director of development and producer until 2012, revealed that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption could have been an open world game that featured a heavier gameplay focus on Samus’ ship if, among other reasons, the Wii was a bit more powerful.
“Mark came forward with an interesting twist in the vision and some of the formulas for Metroid Prime 3, compared to Metroid Prime 2,” Walker said.
Will some of these ideas end up in Metroid Prime 4 when it is finally released on Nintendo Switch?
