Topic: NEW ZERO MISSION PICS!!!

[Gibdo Master]

Click here to check out some new pics from NP that were linked to at the gamefaqs.com forum. The quality of the pics is really bad but the pics themselves kick ass. If you were like me and felt that the Zero Mission Kraid blew then you will be very happy now because they completely redid his sprite and he kicks ass. Take a look here. I think he looks even better than the Super Metroid Kraid. He definitely looks more like the artwork for Super Metroid Kraid anyway.

I'm just getting a bunch of text characters.

[Gibdo Master]

Sorry about that. I don't know what browser you are using but you will need to use IE to look at the pics. The guy who made the pics stupidly made them text files and Mozilla will correctly display them as text files but IE takes a guess at what the file actually is and displays it as a jpeg. These pics are from the February issue of NP so I haven't had much luck finding better ones since most people don't have that issue yet.

Anyway this game sounds like it's going to kick ass. If you liked being chased around by the SA-X in Fusion you are going to love the Space Pirates in this game because apparently they have the same AI and will chase you around like the SA-X. Also much like Fusion there will be cutscenes but it sounds like they will mainly be used at the start of boss battles and the like. Also there will be no computer to tell where to go. You are completely on your own like previous Metroid games.

If you want to check out all of what the NP article says go here and scroll down to the post with all the hidden text. Also the nintendo.com Zero Mission page has been updated. Check it out here.  

EDIT:  First I just want to say told you so to all the people who said this wasn't a remake. Especially you Bill.

Metroid: Zero Mission tells the story of Samus Aran's very first mission on planet Zebes as she explores a labyrinth of tunnels, caverns and caves crawling with fierce enemies bent on her destruction. Her mission? To exterminate all Metroid organisms on Planet Zebes, and defeat the mechanical life-form Mother Brain. To accomplish this task, Samus must power-up her suit with a wide variety of hi-tech upgrades and advanced weaponry.

An all-new Game Boy Advance adventure! Zero Mission is based on the original Metroid for the NES, but the experience is totally new.

That's what it says on the nintendo.com Zero Mission page. Now just try and tell me it isn't a remake of the first game.

Secondly for Mouse Clicker I made the pic of Kraid into a .png file in case you are still having trouble seeing the pics. Click here.

I'm using Opera, which usually doesn't have that problem. Ah well, I guess I'll have to use IE. :\ Thanks for the PNG file, too.

Also, it being a remake makes one more bet I've won with my friends.

Someone ran out of bandwidth.

[vudu]

someone mirrored the images

[Renny]

Thanks.  It's looking good. I think I'll skip Fusion for this.

[mouse_clicker]

You should definitely get Fusion, too Renny, if you can afford it- probably one of the best Gameboy games to date.

[Gibdo Master]

This game is definitely going to blow Fusion away and I have a feeling it could even top Super Metroid.

By the way thanks kingvudu for finding the better pics.  

[Hostile Creation]

Intend to get both, somewhere along the line. . . should get a GBP in a few days, hopefully.

[CaseyRyback]

yea the way the missles are in the one pick kind of give it away, but its still going to be cool. I hope that there is less dialogue and character interaction and story than fusion(i wanna play and figure it out all by myself like a lone bounty hunter should)

[Bill Aurion]

Hahaha...Ok, ok, I admit defeat...

I actually found an interview which proved it was a sort of remake(as in completely new areas a la REmake) quite a while ago, but I was waiting to see if you would find anything... ^_^
