1. yes, explore the room!

2. No, Retro teased us with the prospect of many planets in that place, that kind of pissed me off, I naively hoped for more planets. cameos of Zebes, SR388 and even their metroids, albeit only in text form, were neat

EDIT:
wait, I haven't tried hypermode, so ignore the second one.

I could never find the supposed Aether and Tallon entries that it said were put in my log book, does anyone know were the entries are?

Mashiro · « **Reply #1552 on:** October 08, 2007, 09:45:23 AM »

Yes, on the wrecked ship there are two scanning sources which provide the back story for Tallon IV and Aether.

It's alphabetized in your Research section of your Logbook.

HAHA, I never thought to look in research, thanks Kenology, and thanks Mashiro for helping.

No problem, I'm sorry I misread the question =) glad you got the correct answer though!

This game is ticking me off!

The final version of the final boss is up in the air most of time. To get a good angle at shooting his weakspot, I have to aim up. If I am a millimeter too far up the reticule goes yellow and I can't aim. Am I missing something here? the rest of the game I had no problem with this at all. It was easier to aim in read steal than to aim at Aurorau unit 313's floating head

It killed me five times now, I don't care if there is no freaking save point I'm turning the game off.

You should sit closer...

No seriously.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1558 on:** October 14, 2007, 02:55:21 PM »

Yeah, uh...I don't know what to tell you besides expand on what Kashogi said and recommend moving around to find the best position for sensor reading, because I had absolutely no problems... =\

Shecky · « **Reply #1559 on:** October 14, 2007, 02:57:40 PM »

Don't remember that problem although I recall getting most of my licks in after playing bald bull when it's spinning on the ground.

Ok obviously if he can aim up at all he should have no issue with the distance to the tv....

Make use of lock-on and stay locked-on -- that eliminates the effort to "aim up" since your camera will maintain a fix on it. Use Missiles and aim by leading to account for missile's travel time.

Shecky · « **Reply #1561 on:** October 14, 2007, 03:23:57 PM »

He'd be shooting hyper missiles... they don't need much lead time

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1562 on:** October 14, 2007, 04:14:01 PM »

Doesn't mean he can ignore it. The thingo spins around, after all.

really? I get problems when I'm too close, not when I'm away, I was going to recommend the exact opposite...

so I feel really dumb again, I completely missed the lore of skytown, I don't know why since I'm a scanning freak, but I didn't pay attention to those stupid little robots and thier hint about shooting them, is every single blue token necessary to unlock everything?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1564 on:** October 15, 2007, 01:04:25 AM »

Um, lock on doesn't seem to work in the final phase of the final boss battle. The little glowing purple thingy in the back of his head? Yeah, no lock on.

I remember strafing and spamming the missile button. I'd always land a hit but maybe I was leading my shots subconsciously.

I'm pretty sure you can lock onto it as it spins around.

SON OF A -

Thanks for the tips guys, your help makes me a little more FIST.

8th time was the charm. 77%, 29:01 time. Fantastic game, even with the annoying aiming problem at the end. My biggest quibble is the screw attack is more of a hinderance than a help during most boss fights.

mantidor · « **Reply #1567 on:** October 15, 2007, 04:56:23 PM »

That is true, the screw attack in echoes was more useful, specially for the emperor ing.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1568 on:** October 15, 2007, 05:41:33 PM »

I beat PURPLE CHICK using the Screw Attack.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1569 on:** October 15, 2007, 05:44:51 PM »

...kinky.

I beat her straight up. What an annoying battle.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1571 on:** October 16, 2007, 02:05:45 AM »

I think my favorite boss battles were Rundas the Iceman and Ridley the first time around

Strell · « **Reply #1572 on:** October 16, 2007, 02:55:21 AM »

This game was amazing. If you own a Wii, you should own this game.

That is all.

I think I'm going to start a new game on it and try to find the last 5 pickups I missed.

mantidor · « **Reply #1573 on:** October 16, 2007, 08:14:30 AM »

wait a minute, am I crazy or this game has no water level at all? that is awful! metroid needs water, always
