Wow, that's interesting. I like your guys' interpretation, though, so I'll leave it at that. :lol

Edit: I guess the whole site is down.

Can't wait to try out this game when it comes out! I haven't been let down by a Metroid game yet, I hope the pattern doesn't let up. Hopefully Nintendo gives the fanboys what they want and just makes Metroid: Dread more like super metroid. Talking about dread (or whatever the sequel to fusion will be called), is it pretty much implied that since Samus has Metroid DNA in her (can't use ice beam because of this) that she will be able to absorb enemies energy/power (kinda like a Metroid). I could see Samus acquiring new powers and abilities by absorbing the life source of downed enemies.

It's a pretty big spoiler that Samus wants to impress Adam for me, story wise. Not to mention that you go through an area without your suit, thats a huge gameplay spoiler

I'm sensitive about spoilers :(

If it makes you feel any better, the "impress Adam" thing was actually a joke. It's not an unfounded assumption, but it's not like there's a scene where she decides to go into the lava zone for that reason.

Also, if those are "big" and "huge" spoilers, what adjective would you use to describe something on the level of Aeris' death?

New issue is out early next week, I think some subscribers might get their copies tomorrow. Dunno if the review is going up on their site.

Despite all the mix reviews. I still feel excited to play it. I can't wait for the post-game summaries in this thread. It will be very entertaining.

You know, I think I need to play this. I've been ragging on the game a bit in my last few posts (and I'm going to continue in a second), but I think it's an significant step (forward or backward) in the franchise. For me at least, it's important that I experience the end what I vewed Samus as when I was 8, and replace it with this whiny, submissive lone wolf bounty hunter. It'll be interesting to see where they take her in future games.

Edit: It's preemptive but I really hope Retro gets Metroid back.

"The fans squabbling over the change in direction. Hell, the series survived first-person and motion controls, didn't it?"

I like this

Not really a big spoiler of anything but something I was curious about nevertheless, so I figure I would just cover it up just in case someone doesn't know about this in the game yet.

Anyone know yet if enemies drop Health and Missiles like in previous games or do you really have to rely on Concentration to get these back? I believe I would enjoy the game more if I did it old school Metroid Style and only Regen-ed when items dropped off enemies.

There are no health pickups. And each checkpoint (lots of them) regains your health completely.

When you get low on health, you can enter a "concentration" mode, by tilting the Wiimote up and pressing A. You'll regen health and missiles that way.

I'm curious now as to what format the motion video on this game is in. If it's something that I can convert and edit after ripping my disc to USB, I'm going to do some pretty hilarious dubs/edits after I've finished the game. :lol

Just got the game.

They are forcing me to update my wii now.


I'll come on later with impressions. I've been positive on this game since the first announcement, and I'm a huge Metroid fan.

Then what's your excuse? :p Zelda fans are probably the most unpleasable fans in the world. You should know the cycle by now. The last game released is always the biggest abomination evers six months after its release, and the one before that is always the perfect example of Zelda done right.

Every damn Zelda thread shows this.

Sorry I guess.. I it was mentioned in multiple reviews and it was a joke on my part as well. Don't take it that bad.

Ahhh, spirit tracks. One of only two Zelda games I absolutely detest (the other being Phantom Hourglass). And I love all the others, including Zelda II.

+ Getting lost
+ dying
+ replaying later on
+ getting 100% of power ups

Always keep in mind some people can blast through Metroid games in no time flat.

Those fans suck.
Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks were 3 perfectly good/awesome games from day-one.

Mario cycle is the opposite. New games make people call the previous iteration crap.

Mario Galaxy 1 is a masterpiece and should not be called less good than Mario Galaxy 2 - which is also a masterpiece.

Super Metroid takes me under 3 hours to finish with a high % of pickups, and I can blaze through Metroid Prime in 6 or so. I'm satisfied with the game length.

Phantom Hourglass would've been ALOT better if that temple wasnt timed.

Phantom Hourglass sucked in so many ways. Spirit Tracks was a much better game even though it had some of the flaws that PH had.

Two outta three, at least. As much as I tried, I could not brook the Temple of the Ocean King in PH. First Zelda game I've quit on.
