Metroid Prime

Who's got an erection when they think about this game? I
do, I do!

I just beat Starfox Adventures this morning, after many
weeks of procrastinating. Wicked game, buy it if you haven't
already. Next on my hitlist is MPrime, and then Zelda.
Gamecube started out so slow, but now it's just masterpiece
after masterpiece... so who's getting Prime?

Crocomire, you seem like you'd want this game, hmm.

oh man... i'm all over that like white on rice; too bad i
can't afford it yet! :D although i think they should have
made a 2d game instead; keep the oldschool gameplay and up
the graphics and sound, i don't know about that gameboy
advance metroid....

I've got the ROM for Fusion (thanks to Princo), and it lives
up to Super Metroid, it's still old school and true to its
roots. I'm glad they're taking it 3-D... exploration is so
awesome in Metroid, huge 3-D environments is perfect for
this shit. I hope it's done right... and like I said, Fusion
is a suitable sequel in its own right.

Crocomire should look good in 128 bit polygonal glory...
maybe not as good as your avatar, but still, he should be
badass.

It looks outstanding, but I'm a bigger fan of the 2d ones.
Nonetheless, I'll still buy it. Gamecube sure has picked
up, and there's some great games out for it, but I'm also
glad I have my PS2 for RPGs and all that 3rd party support.

The babe magnet at Electronics Boutique just took my

fellow pasty rpg basement-dwellers(which I'm DEFINATELY
not). It's especially bad when I go in there with a flock
of vixen and he starts waxing mhz and gigaflops on me.. My
charisma rating drops to like -4.

Re : Screenshots
I'm sure http://www.gamespot.com has loads of them.

If you have both Prime and Fusion you can use the system
link cable to unlock an almost-identical NES Metroid, the
only difference being you won't have to write down 68
character passwords because the Gamecube allows you to store
your savegames in it's memory card. My panties are getting
wet just thinking about it.

It received good reviews.. it seems pretty mediocre to me
though. I rented it and played it for 45 minutes before I
got bored and shut it off.

stupidest statement ever, eternal darkness is one of the
best games ever constructed, it a totally new and different
experience with an excellent storyline. buy it now,it does
however take a while to get into it like many cds etc.

Ouchie! Just because I've got a gruff exterior doesn't mean

IGN.com raves about this game being mankind's greatest
achievement, and the videos make me hard. I better finish my
essays by the 18th, because I'll have no time to do anything
else but Metroid by that time. Sweet Jesus.

They had it up and running the other day at EB -- I gave it
a try but had to cut it short and hobble out of the store
for reasons mentioned in the previous post.

didnt mean to act mad at you cabbog, i just want a few more
people to appreciate that game, doesnt seem to be selling
all that great. the company(silicon knights) next game will
most likely be a game called Too Human which should be
released in 2003 sometime but its unknown. it originally
was a psx game but theyre now a nintendo 2nd party
developer. they made legacy of kain blood omen 1 for psx if
anyone remembers that game.

I think the most underrated game for the Nintendo is Pikmin;
I haven't had so much (clean)fun in years! I've been swept
up in the mania -- I even ordered the Japanese exclusive
plush dolls! Someone told me that there's a sequel coming
out; haven't heard anything official though..

cabbog, i agree pikmin is awesome, the sequel is kind of
confirmed, but I dont think pikmin is the type of game that
they should make a sequel to, seems pointless.

I don't. If you're talking about that new 3d one, the
commercial ad looked a clone of the typical 3d genre
platformy stuff. This is not metroid just as zelda64 was not
zelda. You're really probably playing mario64 version # 26
or something.
That toe jam and earl remake on xbox looks good though. at
least it stays true to it's original "3d" feel.

That Toejam and Earl game was crap; I wanted to hang myself
after I played the demo. According to the fellows at IGN
all the Metroid charm is still there. Nothing was lost in
the transition..

that's too bad. I enjoyed elevator rides with funky music

really into games I really suggest www.gamasutra.com
Use the search engine to look up anything of interest. It's
about the science of games, not really reviews. That shit is

cheers for the link,
as for Metriod Fusion I heard about it being "everything
from the snes version and more" , but I've been through it
(only obtaining about %33 of items) and I didn't find the
scanner or the electric beam for swinging off the ceiling...

Not even close, the game is going to take the Metroid feel
to the next level... the videos give you this EPIC sense of
exploration, just you and the aliens and the environment,
just like old times. I can't wait anymore.

And Timesplitters is shit on the bottom of Samus Aran's
