I just can't get enough of that art gallery.

I found a couple of funny things in the demo from just fooling around. They both involve Morph Ball mode. When you're in the botoom elevator room right before the Space Pirates, you can roll into a ball and using bombs, land yourself on top of the spinning gears. The funny thing is, you're standing still right on top of a spinning gear. I found that amusing. The second thing is that the dragonfly things that flitter around the level tend to fly away from Samus, but if you go into ball mode, they'll start to follow you everywhere. They won't go near the elevator for some reason though.

Checkout Media Blitz for some trailers from the bonuscus discus.

Should I nab the MP art gallery?

I still haven't got my disc yet. Is that normal? Any other Canadians get the disc yet? I'm in BC just so you know.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #354 on:** September 03, 2004, 09:31:10 AM »

That's madness.

Is that through Nintendo/US or Canada?

Ian Sane · « **Reply #355 on:** September 03, 2004, 09:36:45 AM »

"Is that through Nintendo/US or Canada?"

I registered through Nintendo.com so I assume it's coming from the US. The Zelda disc came from the US.

i guess i found where the actual post for this topic is.
i live in canada and i havent yet got my disc or my confermation e-mail. yet it says i have a disc reserved.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #357 on:** September 04, 2004, 04:43:01 PM »

Wait, reserved? Did you actually go to the site and say you want it?

Ian Sane · « **Reply #358 on:** September 04, 2004, 04:52:18 PM »

"Wait, reserved? Did you actually go to the site and say you want it?"

You know I got the reserved message after I had said I wanted it. I too have not recieved an email saying that anything has been shipped but on Nintendo's site when I login it says that I have ordered it.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to send an email to Nintendo.

I reserved mine on Wednesday and got the ship email Friday.

Has anybody seen the new Nintendo Power issue?

That Dark Suit looks awesome...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #361 on:** September 28, 2004, 04:28:35 PM »

INDEED.

Samus' new D.imensional S.wimwear looks really hot on her. I like the gritty, no-BS, non-Chozo style and color scheme. It's somewhat of a design departure, but I like how it conveys it's possibly a Luminoth creation rather than the traditional Chozo. I'm still a little bummed it was revealed this early. She'd better have another S.wimwear in addition to that.

"I'm still a little bummed it was revealed this early. She'd better have another S.wimwear in addition to that."

I'm expecting nothing more from Prime 2 than what has already been shown. I seriously couldn't care less, I just want to play the game.

I mean, if it was just Metroid Prime 1 with new areas, I'd buy and enjoy it anyway. Call me tasteless if you wish, but at least I know I'm going to be having fun.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #363 on:** September 29, 2004, 07:38:21 AM »

"I'm still a little bummed it was revealed this early."

Me too. Why reveal something like that? Game companies these days provide us with WAY too much info regarding their games. We should know virtually nothing except that there's a sequel to Metroid Prime, it has multiplayer, and we should see a few non-spoiler screenshots. I don't even like knowing about the dark world stuff. And this new detail along with the existance of Dark Samus are really huge spoilers. Think how cool it would be to be playing and just suddenly see Dark Samus without any knowledge of it beforehand with no mention of it in previews or the manual. All we need to know is how the game plays. Anything regarding the story should be kept secret.

"Game companies these days provide us with WAY too much info regarding their games."

Wait, then why do people complain about Ninty not revealing info and then bitching when it's not up to their expectations? I assume you get it fairly early in the game, and thus isn't that big of a deal...

"Wait, then why do people complain about Ninty not revealing info and then bitching when it's not up to their expectations?"

There's a difference between info you need to know ahead of time (gameplay, new features) and info that's just spoilers (virtually anything to do with the story, bosses, major power ups).

couchmonkey · « **Reply #366 on:** September 29, 2004, 11:10:21 AM »

I think Ian has it about right...we don't want to hear about the things that are supposed to be surprises within the game. Ironically I haven't seen this thing, but I'll probably never play Metroid Prime 2 far enough to get it. I know, I'm bad...I just don't have the time.

Edit: Less spoilers, same lousy taste.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #367 on:** September 29, 2004, 11:21:13 AM »

Well you could always just ignore the internet...

KDR_11k · « **Reply #368 on:** September 29, 2004, 10:00:13 PM »

I can assure you that'll be written on the back of the box and in the manual, as well.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #369 on:** October 07, 2004, 09:24:01 PM »

The D.imensional S.wimwear and the boss Amorbis are look YUMMY. Checkout the new screens.

Wow, I can't believe this game doesn't have more hype going for it. I am one crazy Metroid fan, and I found myself not really interested in this one. That scared me, because I have owned each version so far, and I was thinking it was going to end this time around. I figured college would override my necessity for this game, and I was content with that, as I really hadn't heard compelling reasons to own it.

I thought multiplayer would be neat. I thought the duality was cool, but not clincher. I thought it was just going to be more of the same. Why didn't somebody hit me? Now, I generally dislike IGN's attitude, but recently they have been building hype for Echoes, (because they can see that there really isn't any) and now I'm hooked. I refused to look through the 75 new reasons to own Echoes, but just thinking about that is crazy. I can't wait to destroy my friends is a four player mode. I can't wait to try out all the new suits. I can't wait for the new visors. I just can't wait.

Somebody said Prime was built ground up in 1.5 years. They have been working on Echoes for 2, but they already had the engine this time. If you think they have played all their cards, you will be in for a pleasant surprise. Thinking about the unknown (the biggest part to any Metroid entry) has me stoked. Why aren't you?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #371 on:** October 21, 2004, 11:38:29 PM »

I'm frothing. Don't you see? I got the demo some time ago, and went capture crazy with the trailers on it (DON'T YOU EVER VISIT MEDIA BLITZ THREAD?)

The 75 reasons was good stuff. Check it out.

Remember, they didn't necessarily re-use the engine from Prime 1, but they did have the *experience* of creating that engine. This time around, they could make a cleaner, more specialized and feature-rich engine based on what they previously learned. The result can be greater ASS KICKAGE.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #372 on:** October 22, 2004, 12:22:44 PM »

They are using the the same game and physics engine but all of the graphics assets are made from scratch, including the character models.
