Metroid Prime 2 Dark Echoes - Wii de Asobu - New Import

©NCSX» When the Galactic Federation loses contact with a vessel carrying Trooper Squad Bravo, Samus Aran is called in to locate the ship. Samus tracks the Marines to a planet in the Dasha region known as Aether where she finds them. All dead. Samus learns that they were killed by malevolent creatures known as the Ing who share the planet with a species called the Luminoth. The two are at odds over the control of the energy on the planet and Samus finds herself on the side of the Luminoth in a bid to destroy the Ing. While on her adventure, Samus also encounters a being dubbed "Dark Samus" and contends with the Space Pirates.

The Wii de Asobu version of Metroid Prime 2 features Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls which allow gamers to move Samus like it was second nature. The analog stick on the Nunchuk manipulates Samus whilst the "A" and "B" buttons on the Remote control firing and jumping respectively. Since scanning is a big part of the game, pushing the "-" button on the Remote brings up the scanner and pressing "Z" activates it. The Wii conversion of Metroid Prime 2 is a near carbon copy of the Gamecube original from the introductory sequence to the in-game action but there's a bit more polish on the visuals and the controls have been Wii-matized.
