Actually, the magazine quote doesn't mention "polish" AT ALL.

...so what are we arguing about? Something that doesn't exist?

Hahahaha DOH!

Well, that's Retro's words. Nintendo just wanted them to make it better, and that's how he interpreted it. So Manty, if you want to get angry, get angry at Michael Kelvaugh!

... plus a jab at TP for FUN AND PROFIT.

Play says it could be the biggest revolution in FPS gaming since Halo.
Ha. ha. ha.

That gave me a laugh.

Double EDIT: I guess I shouldn't ask.. I'll just search.

I just took a look at the Play magazine scans, and if my eyes aren't betraying me I should say "damn, Samus is lookin' sexier than she did in MP 1 or 2".

Go to Borders Books, that is where I found Play Maginzine, and the art is truly amazing.

I am already set to say this will be the best Prime game to date, and it may be the best single player FPS created this year.

Guys, the scans are on Nintendo's very own forums. They didn't delete them, so go find them there. I don't want to post a link because it might be against the rules.

That's a pretty massive call. There's a lot of good FPS coming out this year. Medal of Honor Airborne, Call of Duty 4 etc (Halo 3...)

Is it possible for Samus to completly lower her cannon if the remote is not pointing at the screen? it would be a nice detail. I know the remote isn't quite a lightgun but I'm not sure if something like that could be acomplished.

That'd be a nice detail in ANY game with a gun. They'd probably use the wiimote's accelerometers to detect how it's being tilted, ala the drinking game in Wario ware.

If you lowered the Wiimote, Samus would be most likely be staring at her feet...=)

Well to aim to her feet all you have to do is keep the cursor in the lower part of the screen for a few seconds, what I mean is that the remote also knows when the cursor leaves the screen completely and when it enters it again, so in that scenario the cannon would dissapear while it still is looking down, afterall if you are not pointing at the screen you aren't attacking anything, just staring low.

Thats another thing, it would be another nice detail to see more than just the arms, but the legs as well, I remember a poster here (I forgot his name) who suggested this, is not necessary to see it all the time, one of the details of the prime games is that Samus has limited movement, and with the way the armor is it made a lot of sense, it becomes difficult to aim completely up or completly down because of the suit, so the legs would be seen only after landing from a dramatic jump or something like that.

If you make just the precise Wii-mote movements, I hear you can guide Samus's hand, then get her to completely take off her suit...

Or not...

Actually, on a game-related note, I've been thinking about some of the newer MP3 information.  I now think that they chose to release the game this much later in order to have a release date closer to, but before Halo 3, along with the "upping the quality" thing.  If MP3 is equally amazing to Halo 3, but is released a few months earlier, it would be possible to steal a whole lot of Halo 3 thunder.  That's only if the game as at least just as good, though.  Perhaps this was Nintendo's original idea?

I still have to wonder about the multi-player.  What was revolutionary about Halo?  To me, I always thought it was supposed to be a grandiose multi-player experience.  If I'm wrong, someone please fill me in.

There's no way to steal Halo 3 hype. Just don't even... just don't even compare Metroid to it. That's a fanboi trap, and Sony's already fallen into the e-peen contest with their plans to showcase Killzone 2 immediately after MS' E3 conference ends.

That said...

Halo did have a very fun, "with your buddies" lan-party multiplayer vibe going. But more than that, it hit all the right notes on world design (the Halo world concept is captivating), on atmosphere (the levels were too big and long and boring, but they did feel open and exciting) ...

And even character design. Yes, you heard me.

There's a reason all space marines are bald: it's because no one has yet seen how the Master Chief does his hair.
