Chronologically, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption takes place fifth in the Metroid universe. The game is set six months after the events of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and before the events of Metroid II: Return of Samus. The story follows bounty hunter Samus Aran as she assists the Galactic Federation in its fight against the Space Pirates. While fending off a Space Pirate assault, Samus and her fellow bounty hunters are attacked by her doppelgänger, Dark Samus, who incapacitates them with a mutagenic material called Phazon. After losing contact with the other hunters, the Federation sends Samus on a mission to determine what happened to them. During the course of the game, Samus works to prevent the Phazon from spreading from planet to planet while being slowly corrupted by the Phazon herself. The game was first shown to the public at the E3 2005 trade show. More than one million copies of the game were sold in 2007. The game has sold over 1.3 million since it was released. Prime, Prime 2, and Prime 3 were bundled together on a single disc as Metroid Prime: Trilogy, released on August 24, 2009 for Wii. Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes feature the motion controls and achievement systems introduced in Prime 3.
