Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Screw Attack Video

June 1, 2004 at 22:28 PDT

Here it is, the hidden footage Metroid fans have been waiting for.

You may have seen the E3 footage of Samus wall-jumping back and forth through a vertical corridor. What you probably haven't seen is the other Screw Attack footage, the one proving that this famous move can indeed be used anywhere in the game, and that it even includes (or can be combined with) a new Space Jump, which lets Samus literally fly.

This brief demo clip wasn't hard to find at E3...in fact, it was playing right on the show floor. But for whatever reason, very few people noticed the clip, which played automatically if the title screen was left untouched for a few seconds. Well...maybe the heavy crowds around Metroid Prime 2 had something to do with that.

At any rate, PGC did notice the clip, and we did manage to record it in a small but very revealing digital video. Combined with the information we have gathered in our gigantic preview, this video should give you a pretty clear idea of how the Screw Attack will work, and how it will drastically affect the game's level design.
