Three new videos filled with some of the best next-gen graphics we've ever seen on the Wii headed straight for you from the legendary oasis of videogames, E3. We get you the skinny on what's to expect with this latest batch of eye candy that's all about the lady in the Phazon suit.

The first video is probably the most important one in the batch - as it's pretty much the world's first taste of Samus Aran on the Wii. With a very lovely (and lucky) lady onstage, we're given a first-hand peek at just how good Metroid Prime 3: Corruption looks AND plays.

Next is the official E3 2007 trailer of the game, where we're given a more in-depth view on just how far Nintendo's taken the motion-tracking capabilities of the Wii in terms of onscreen interactivity with Corruption. You actually have to pull, twist and push with your Wiimote rather than just simply aiming and pressing a button. Very cool.

Last but definitely not least is a developer walkthrough, where we see not only an entire stage, but also a boss fight. Things to look out for: Samus rappelling from platform to platform with the grapple beam, the intuitive controls for jumping and rolling when in Morph Ball form, and the fact that you can actually see Samus' eyes reflected on her visor when you're in Visor Mode. It's a small detail, really, but your truly couldn't help but geek out at that tiny but definitely important detail. So purty, Samus is.

Well, that's enough geeking out from yours truly, and enough spoilers from us. Enjoy the videos!

While I, personally, can't stand online multiplayer FPS games, I can certainly feel for everyone that got a taste for it with MP:H on the DS. What *I* would personally love is more online co-op FPS games. I love playing co-op Halo, it'd be fun to play Prime cooperatively.
