Cannot think of a single Nintendo made game that has any though at all, ever. Seems to be one of their main goals for each of their titles.

It still looks pretty good on my GT60 plasma.
For those of you who don't have any black bars, you have a zoomed in picture and you're getting a worse image than you should.

Yeah. Everyone needs to ensure that they have their TV set to no-overscan mode (just scan) and that their Wii U overscan settings are adjusted accordingly
Not just for this game, but its essential for literally everything now, otherwise you are losing a good portion of the image on your games.

As long as you don't miss another scan and get 100% collectables, you should still get 100% on your clear percent. You won't get the credit for it though.

Even though Prime is my favorite game ever, I've never tried completing it at 100%. it's strange because I did it with Echoes and Corruption so now I've finally managed to find everything in hyper mode! Time to beat the last boss!

I SHOULD buy this, but I'd be mad at myself if I did. I bought all three of the games separately, and have only played part of the first.
I know you have 11 bucks lying somewhere
I've triple dipped on the Prime games. No ragrets on my chest. Shorter load times are a blessing.

I do, but I'm so cheap that I hate spending money unless I need to.
Not an unreasonable position, but know that this collection is unlikely to be this cheap for a very long time. It's well worth it.
Storage constraints and development deadlines would definitely have been a major concern, but would simply giving the first three areas more varied lighting / fog settings for their dark variants have been all that much more resource-intensive? It'd still use the same geometry, but the non-Ing Hive areas wouldn't be nearly so interchangeable. Seeing the dark world manifest in incrementally different ways between areas might have even enhanced the environmental storytelling, giving Aether's gradual corruption more of an arc rather than appearing as a static entity throughout the planet.
I agree that the mechanical implementation was pretty good, aside from some complaints with how the fetch questing was handled. No other game in the series executes the progression from powerless to unstoppable as well as Echoes; even in Fusion your pursuit by and eventual triumph over the SA-X is tempered by the restraints of Adam and the enforced powerlessness of the Omega Metroid battle. Prime 2 characterises the active hostility of Dark Aether incredibly well, which makes your endgame state feel more like a defiant victory against the planet itself rather than the culmination of a set of arbitrary power-ups.

Thank you, OP. I bought this game based off of that opening post!
I haven't checked the rest of the thread to see if anyone else asked but I'll ask anyway. Can you buy this game online in the UK without owning a Wii U (or not having access to it for the time being)? I see you can in America but I can't find anything to suggest you can over here.

Is it just this game?
If your not running it with a Y cable already, your probably either going to have to try another hard drive or a powered one (Nintendo has recommeded drives). I had problems with a couple hard drives on my WiiU even running a Y cable that worked perfectly fine running 360 games with a single USB cable. I finally found a different hard drive to work without problems with a Y cable. The errors I first got usually happened while downloading in background switching games or switching menus though.
Have you try going on the eShop website and buy a download code?

That sucks. I looked for a download option but I only saw eshop games for £40 each. Thanks for verifying.
Once game.co.uk is back up, they may have a code to buy for it. They're always cheaper than the eshop for retail digital titles, not sure if the wii titles will be on there though.

And promptly deconfirmed.
Goddammit! You win this round, Europe.
Depends on how we define Nintendo made.
For instance, Excite Truck and Bots both have lots of screen tearing but those weren't made by Nintendo in Japan.

Correct. I can't say that no Nintendo game has tearing, but I can't think of any that do. The Prime games most certainly do not.
Is it possible to introduce tearing via your cabling or something? When I saw the post mentiob it, I was perplexed.

I heard Tallon Overworld Part 2 after I beat Flaahgra and was wandering around. I think that's the trigger, you just don't usually return until after Magmoor
ah yeah thats probably it
and yeah, I always go straight to magmoor after flaahgra
That music trigger switch happens when you get the Spider Ball.
If you sequence break and get to the Great Tree Hall area before getting Spider Ball it'll sound there too, but the Landing Site area only changes after Spider. You can easily tell this because it's still theme 1 when you get the Space Jump, but it'll change to theme 2 if you pass through it to get Ice Beam.

Charge the Power Beam and then fire a missile.
...come to think of it, the Beam Combos are very much a spiritual successor to the special Bomb drops in Super Metroid, huh?
the trigger is getting spider ball.
that's what changes Tallon's initial area's music.
also, there's a part of Tallon that always plays the second music even if you never get spider ball.
While charging a power beam shot, press missile fire at the same time.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Like they said, a charge beam + missile shot
You can read stuff like that again in the log. Very useful for re-reading, when you've forgotten how to blow up certain types of material for example.
I sometimes wish if the endgame fetch quest were either toned down or didn't exist. So many people gave up on Echoes once they finished Sanctuary despite the game having a really satisfying ending sequence of bosses. At the same time, I feel like once the dark visor is acquired, it's pretty possible to run into a good number of the dark temple keys by total accident. That's not a admission that the key hunt was well paced but it does seem like the key hunt could have been woven better into the overall game more organically from the start.
Also, the keybearer lore is some of the best stuff in the game.

any guides or maps i should bookmark ahead of time so i dont get lost forever?

they did tone down the fetch quest for mp3. there's 9 energy cells but you only need 5 to get access to the final area and 4 of them are mandatory to advance while the 5th one is also on the way. you only really need all of them if you want 100%.
Alright, got my Metroid Prime 2 copy up and running in Dolphin with 3x native resolution (1920x1584), AA, AF, and AR Culling codes. The latter forces GameCube games to render in 16:9, many games will render in 16:9, but cull objects outside of 4:3 to save on performance.
I'm just using this fork make sure to enable the AR codes in the individual game properties, then enable cheats in config menu. I might switch over to one of the newer dev builds with the AR codes to see if I get even better performance as there have been some massive leaps in development lately.

Sweet Cheezuz! O__O
Thanks!
I was a bit confused at first because it doesn't work with the wave beam.
each beam has its own charge combo. you need to find all of them.

When I beat Prime on the Gamecube I didn't bother doing all the scanning. Now that I'm trying to 100% the trilogy, though, I'm scanning everything. Only the logged scans count towards your percentage, right? I've been stressing myself out scanning every single thing and it's quite distracting.

Seeing all you people (re-)enjoying the Trilogy, this might be a good time to remind you
of the beautiful threads from Mama Robotnik about all the content that was cut in the Prime games.
Just looking at those pictures makes me pumped up for a new Metroid game.
Next E3, do not disappoint me Nintendo.
