Wii Controls for Samus



The most recent games in the Metroid series: Other M, Corruption, and later Trilogy were released on the Wii console. These games let you take direct control of Samus' arm cannon and hands. In corruption, you can pilot your spaceship using the wii controls in both hands and operate computers and controls. Combat is at first awkward, but later it becomes much easier to change targets and fight effectively. Many of the interactions around the world are activated by motion controls to further immerse you in the experience.
Other M features just the remote, no nunchuck. The controls are super simple with just a few buttons and not much motion control. When you change to first-person controls, you take on controls like the Prime game.
