Prime Preview Channel Now Live

Picture this. A tired man gets out of bed to fly to Australia in a couple of hours for a look at Assassin's Creed. He's a little annoyed at first (it's 3:30am), and then intrigued, 'why is my Wii glowing'. Not something you really want to be able to say on a normal day but today the reason is quite cool.

The Metroid Prime 3: Corruption preview channel is now available to download for free from the Wii Shopping Channel. Yes, this is the same channel America got in August. Two months ago. Yeah.

If you've not seen the videos it contains or are just a Metroid nut I suggest you take a look. Failing that, you should at least download Super Metroid from the virtual console, yes, that too is finally out.
