The final game in the ''Prime'' series and the sequel to ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', ''Corruption'' was the first Metroid game to be released for the Nintendo Wii in 2007. It used the revolutionary control scheme used in the [[New Play Control!]] versions of ''[[New Play Control! Metroid Prime|Metroid Prime]]'' and ''[[New Play Control! Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. The same controls were recycled for use in the ''Metroid Prime: Trilogy'' release. The game was very well received for its tight controls and gameplay, but received some criticism for its easy difficulty and lack of reliance on puzzles, and that the game was relatively short when compared to its predecessors. | The final game in the ''Prime'' series and the sequel to ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', ''Corruption'' was the first Metroid game to be released for the Nintendo Wii in 2007.

During the events of ''Corruption'', the Federation | During the events of ''Corruption'', the Federation had begun using Phazon as a weapon, and give Samus this ability in the form of the [[PED Suit]]. These [[Phazon Enhancement Device|devices]] gradually corrupt the wearer, however, and Samus must complete her mission under constant threat of complete [[Phazon Corruption]]. | ||
In the midst of her adventure the origin of all Phazon is revealed, a sentient planet called [[Phaaze]]. [[Leviathan]]s, living Phazon-laced meteors, are birthed on Phaaze and launched towards other planets, which they infect with enough Phazon to eventually transform their targets into more sentient planets. [[Dark Samus]] takes control of Phaaze and a force of [[Space Pirate]]s in an attempt to spread Phazon throughout the universe. Samus works closely with the [[Galactic Federation]] in this title to end the Phazon's corrupting effects on three Federation worlds: [[Norion]], [[Elysia]], and [[Bryyo]]. | In the midst of her adventure the origin of all Phazon is revealed, a sentient planet called [[Phaaze]].
