- Graphical impressions are hard to make due to the poor quality of the video. But clearly, it looks better especially in terms lighting and texture clarity.
- Samus' eyes looked better in this video, but might just be the video quality.
- You can very faintly hear Samus' theme when she's in the ship.
- The ship controls are all awesome and very interactive.
- Voice acting for the most part is good. I saw one line repeat, but overall it's definitely not bad.
- The samus model is absolutely awesome.
- The cursor is smaller than it used to be.
- The map screen is pretty nice and unique. Features a cursor which should make things easier.
- The new morph ball bomb effect is very nice.
- Faces look a bit iffy close up.
- I think i saw a repeating character model.
- You can't shoot friendly characters - the cursor changes when you place it over a friendly character.
- If you scan a creature, it says creature scanned with the Samus symbol next to it.
- The captain's name is Admiral Dane.
- The blue glow from the charge beam remains, which looks awesome.
- I'm getting KOTOR vibes from bypassers talking to Samus. It's good stuff.
- Scanning is like a mix between Prime 1 and Prime 2. It looks great, especially with Samus' eyes in the background. No more 3D models - it's back to the Prime 2D art.
- Samus has to enter her own code - first she has to find it out, then she presses buttons with the wii remote.
- The three hunters appear early on. They speak like transformers. Ghor is the first to be shown. I'm not a huge fan of his design, it looks a bit stupid. I love Rundus' though.
- Samus has to go through scanning to ensure it's her and that she's not corrupted with anything. Makes things even more immersive.
- This guy uses A to jump and B to shoot. Sounds good to me.
- Turning still looks a tad slow at times. But overall seems great.
- Gandrayda IS a shapeshifter. Awesome.
- Mother Brain speaks. Same voice as from the Wii videos.
- Rundus is huge.
- Admiral Dane's character model has been improved massively - he used to look ridiculous.
- When space pirates hit, great use of atmosphere. Lots of chaos.
- I love the exchange between Dane and Samus.
- This game truly is built for Wii.
- Loading on specific doors is a bit slow
- Looking out the window, seeing the battles in space - omfg.
- THOSE ACHIVEMENT THINGS ARE REAL.
- Troops sucked into space = omfg again.

Hell YES! Ive been literally waiting for this game ever since it was annouced at the E3 before the Wii came out.

The game looks AMAZING.
I am oing to need to hurry up and finish Bioshock before this comes ut or else BioShock will get pushed into the background.

Ok, just watched the last video. That grapple lasso is the shit, looks ALOT better ingame that it has in the videos. Its cool how her armor turns silver where its mounted.

Something else I just noticed, those "achievement" things he mentions in the outline, and I saw one pop up in the Bridge battle. Is this something in MP3 only, such as "get X to unlock Y", or is this a new Wii feature sort of like Xbox Live?

Probably just MP3... i wouldn't expect Nintendo to implement anything as compelling as achievements

Why is the AI retarded?

They just stand in place in place and get shot.. or stand in place and let their shields get stolen... The end of the last video is the worst offense..

As compelling as achievements? What are you on? Achievements are pointless and in no way make any game I have ever played better. Who cares if it gradually raises my gamerscore? I don't get anything because of it.
Nintendo can fudge the entire idea altogether. They are a pointless waste of resources that could better be spent on the game as opposed to coming up with trivial objectives.

Its one of the reasons Xbox live is better than PSN right now.
