Metroid Prime 3, one of the most awesome shooters of 2007, is finally hitting Japan on March 6th. According to Kotaku, Metroid would be worth ¥6,800, which is roughly $64. That’s a big leap from the $49.99 price tag we’re used to.

Metroid’s journey to Japan has been a long one. It first came out in North America last August 27, came out of Europe last October 26, then made its way to Australia on November 8.

Funny how a franchise originally created by the Japanese ended up getting the most-recent release last.

At long last, Metroid Prime 3 is coming to Japan

Yes, Portal is awesome. Yahtzee loves it. I love it. Everyone loves it. Thus, MTV asks the inevitable question: do you want a sequel?

If you asked a game publisher, they would naturally say yes. If you asked any gamer who knows Portal, they might say yes. If you asked me, I would say no.

Can’t we just leave an excellent game alone? Must we look for a sequel and just end up disappointed that its successors got worse at each outing?

Sure, a sequel may address some of Portal’s flaws. A sequel could also totally destroy it. No, I don’t want a Portal franchise that would be milked like Mario, Sonic, Zelda, or Gordon Freeman.
