The original Metroid and the Return of Samus begs to differ.

Just to preempt anyone who wants to say that Metroid II sucked, I loved it and it was got me into Metroid in the first place.

Evan wrote a short, esoteric review of MP3 on his blog: http://evanburchfield.blogspot.com/2007/10/metroid-prime-3-corruption.html

Apparently we weren't worthy enough for him to share it with us.

ok so i've been avoiding this thread since launch because of possible spoilers (i ALWAYS read spoiler text, im curious

) and now that i have the game i want your voucher things. and i'll be sending mine.

so far i've only got one from one of you guys, so i'd like to give props to Mantidor.

Shecky · « **Reply #1578 on:** October 17, 2007, 04:19:26 PM »

I've got only 2 green credits... although my policy is to accept the voucher "as is" and then send it back to the originator .... maybe I should stop doing that?

Here's the French press ad for Metroid Prime: Corruption, pretty cool huh?

Full scan

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1580 on:** October 19, 2007, 09:27:46 AM »

That ad is misleading.

Stogi · « **Reply #1581 on:** October 19, 2007, 09:46:27 AM »

Misleadingly AWESOME.

Caliban · « **Reply #1582 on:** October 19, 2007, 04:24:28 PM »

Misleadingly HOT!

Kairon · « **Reply #1583 on:** October 19, 2007, 04:30:22 PM »

It all makes perfect sense now. Samus is French.

Corrupt me, baby.

There's a special metroid in teh pants.

mantidor · « **Reply #1585 on:** October 22, 2007, 04:46:37 AM »

are the TV ads in Europe the same as the nonsense "wii would like to play" ads? I would be... interested in seeing what TV ad would they come up with using this new concept. Probably the same as the terrible zero mission japanese ad, but anything is an improvement over that airport abortion of a commercial.

Caliban · « **Reply #1586 on:** October 22, 2007, 01:00:32 PM »

So today I finally beat the game (94%, Normal) after leaving it in a hiatus for a month, I've read most of the spoiler posts and yet there has been no discussion on what happens after the credits if you had 100% completion (watched it on youtube), so who's ship is it that appears stalking Samus?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1587 on:** October 22, 2007, 01:04:06 PM »

StarFox

Mashiro · « **Reply #1588 on:** October 22, 2007, 01:12:16 PM »

Caliban, it's Sylux's ship. A character in metroid prime hunters. Having never played hunters though I could honestly care less . . .

Caliban · « **Reply #1589 on:** October 22, 2007, 02:57:12 PM »

@Pro666: haha.

@Mashiro: ah, in that case I could care less too.

mantidor · « **Reply #1590 on:** October 23, 2007, 07:52:51 AM »

I just saw the french TV ad and it was awesome.

And is it absolutely confirmed is silux ship? I thought it was only speculation

Its so sad there will be no more metroid prime games, I really hope that that ending as well as some comments from retro don't mean Nintendo is going to take metroid more into the hunters route.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1591 on:** October 23, 2007, 09:42:17 AM »

Well Mantidor, as a long time follower of the metroid games and hunters being the only one I missed I would have to assume the people saying it's his ship know what they are talking about.

If they are wrong then I have no clue who's ship it is.

anubis6789 · « **Reply #1592 on:** October 23, 2007, 10:52:47 AM »

I could have sworn that Sylux died in Hunters, which happened before Prime 3, although those balls of different colored light (each one representing the different weapons) leaving the explosion of Oubliette could have been the other hunters leaving.

well people were saying the same thing about rundas when we first saw him, and he ended up being a new character. Since retro was the one behind the design of the other hunters thats why there's a similarity, but it doesn't mean is from the DS game necessarily, unless is the exact same design, something I am not that sure.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1594 on:** October 24, 2007, 06:59:24 AM »

Yeah . . . either way it was a terrible super final 100% ending.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1595 on:** October 24, 2007, 03:04:05 PM »

Retro is terrible for using 30fps FMVs in the ending.

What was the delay for again?

really? it makes no sense! I remember being surprised one of the cutscenes from echoes was FMV instead of rendered in real time, but it was full of ings and federation soldiers in a big battle, so it was understandable, this ending was just samus looking into the horizon!, I guess her hair is incredibly complex

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1598 on:** October 24, 2007, 04:31:33 PM »

I'm ticked they didn't even TRY to make look like the game was really rendering it. The FMV in Echoes was at 60, Corruption only 30. Only the teaser footage in Corruption ran at 60.

In Corruption's 100% weak ending, previous scenes were being revisited that could not be loaded & rendered immediately (different stages), so they were forced to FMV. Also, the early scene with the 1st Space Rock being destroyed by the Super Defense Gun was 30fps FMV. Talk about lazy. More proof that Nintendo is only producing on DVD5s instead of DVD9s -- even after getting past the GameCube they have disc space issues.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #1599 on:** October 26, 2007, 09:09:00 AM »

So. Corruption is out today.

Maybe the gods here at NWR are voodooing me because so far all of my stuff i've ordered over the past 3 weeks (that should have cleared up while i went to new york city) has got stuck because of the recent postal strikes. Including Corruption.

Thank you all
