Is dark samus FHUTA!?

 

[Sho Nuff]

FHUTA +1

 

[ohamsie]

Nah, just giving Samus a reach around.

What's up with all this "fear of the dark" stuff in their adveritsing? Is it just marketing? Or is Echoes supposed to be scary?

Well I remember jumping a few times when the lights went out in MP, so it's not out of the question

Kind of like the Metroid Prime/Fusion marketing campaign "Before you face the enemy, you must find it," or something like that: pretty much irrelevant to the gameplay.

 

[werther]

By dark they are referring to Dark Samus.

 

[Deg]

Can someone please edit out the Samus's nicely?

The Fusion was actually "the only way to hunt a predator, is to become one".

And I thought the Metroid Prime ad was talking about all the visors...

You know how you had to use certain visors to see some enemies.. er nevermind

 

[Baconäger]

The Prime one was "use everything at your disposal, dispose of everything".

 

[Prince of Space]

No, it was: "Evil must be destroyed, but first it must be found."

Whatever the hell that was supposed to mean...

 

[Baconäger]

That said that in the commercial, but the print ads are the ones I posted above.

 

[BobbyRobby]

When you first encounter

Spoiler

Metroids

in MP1, it was kind of scary.

 

[Kon Tiki]

The TV advert, "Afraid of the dark", has the worst sound effects I have heard in a game commercial in years.

 

[Gorey]

The triple threat presented by this game, metroid prime, and skies of arcadia is just too much for me ignore. Game Cube sales +1.

Sheesh, PC, three consoles, GBA...I need another job to support my game habit.

 

[Baconäger]

The full site is up now. Theres awesome wallpapers and buddy icons to be found for those that like to scan...

 

[SantaC]

http://metroid.com/main.htm is such an awesome site!

 

[Ford Prefect]

You didn't have to bump a ten-day old thread, but it was a nice gesture.

 

[bogg]

I just want the wallpapers... :/

Theres all the ones I found (1600x1200 versions).

 

[TheGreenGiant]

The website is shit. Metroid.com (that is). Hard to navigate and I was afraid of spoilers. Went there to see if I can find that TV AD (highrez)
