Because this thread is about Metroid, I'll use my chance to brag:

Metroid Fusion 100 % completion: 1 hour 36 minutes
Metroid Fusion 1 % completion: 1 hour 30 minutes

Not that great times, but better than most people achieved, I hope.


 i take it your seeing how fast/slow you can possibly play the game




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I'm loving the Retrospective stuff GT's been putting up lately. It's nice to look back and see where the series have been and gone.

Ok. I'm torn. On the one hand, these are some pretty awesome vids. On the other hand, I've just started Playing Prime (14% completion) and the last thing I want is for the vid take away some of the wonder I'm about to experience. So when it comes out, can somebody let me know if watching it will detract from my gaming experience?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Hehe. Well...I think you know where the story is gonna go....I'd recommend watching it anyway cause Metroid rocks...

I'm going to watch both today, should be useful cause MP 3 will be my first Metroid game ever....

Yes, I was a sega kid back in the day, my first Nintendo console wasn't until the N64.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

I was a Sega kid too...I didn't really know much about Metroid until Prime came out.

Sega consoles are still some of my favorites ever.  There may not have been as many games for them but the ones that were there were great!

Metroid and Super Metroid are gonna hit VC soon ck in case you didn't know.  If you are willing to pay for them keep an eye out on there for them (they are both certainly worth it).  Enjoy the videos though, and you still may want to pick up MP and MP2 at some point.   If you wanted a place to get them cheap

Metroid Prime: $7.50 total with shipping http://product.half.ebay.com/Metroid-Prime_W0QQprZ8635QQitemZ340303619797QQtgZvidetails

Metroid Prime 2: $18 total with shipping http://product.half.ebay.com/Metroid-Prime-2-Echoes_W0QQtgZvidetailsQQitemZ340317231314QQprZ30753056

I think you should absolutely pick up these games, they can be found on the very very cheap.  Gamestop sells Prime for $10 and I believe Echoes for $9.  NINE DOLLARS for one of the best games ever made, one that has even aged superbly.

I say, backwards compatibility with Gamecube, as well as Virtual Console, is the best idea Nintendo ever had.  Experience all the awesomeness you ever missed out on!
