Google Receives the Morph Ball Upgrade

I think Google may have ripped off one of Nintendo's greatest gaming characters special abilities and put it in logo form. Behold the incredible similarities.

      

And for those of you that don't recognize the ball on the left, it is from the Metroid series of games starting on the NES and most recently on the Wii. She upgrades her Morph Ball throughout the games to different abilities and colors.

It does make me wonder though, if Google is as powerful a company as it is and it's just now getting the Morph Ball upgrade, what happens when it gets the Power Suit or Varia Suit upgrades? Only time will tell.

New Metroid Prime 3 Screenshots

With rumors running rampant that Nintendo is currently showing off new games and information to various news sites and putting them under embargo, there is actually something to show from all of this. Vooks has just gotten their hands on some new Metroid Prime 3 screenshots and let me just say they are looking awesome. The resolution on Samus’ arm and cannon look great and will surely look even better in motion with progressive scan and 16:9 ratio. Oh yeah baby, I can’t wait for this. And remember this game is scheduled to hit stores on August 21.
