Metroid Prime 2: Echoes [GCN]

Eh, it's more sport bra top and short shorts, not a bikini.

But the face and hair, yeah I think it looks more realistic in Metroid Prime. That and the fact the face behind the visor for all close ups is the original MP model.

The "anime" look of Samus at the end of MP2 is a tribute to her character model in Zero Mission. I guess they are trying to standardize Samus' look more.

 

That's not really an anime look if you ask me, more of a western look. I know they want to standardize Samus look but really anything except the Zero Mission look

Oh yeah Sports bra, bikini all the same bunch if you ask me

 

[Laughs]

Well, I guess only one way to say this, and it does "bash" Nintendo in the now-classic argument, but oh well.

Remember Nintendo's standards; they don't put gratuitously sexy characters in their games. So Samus, being a Nintendo Character, will never look like the females on other systems, for example Rikku from FF-10 or any of the DOA girls.

Granted we all want her to be, but take what you can get. She does have a rather good figure, you just can't see skin. It's like 7of9 on Star Trek: Voyager. It can be sexier because we have to imagine what's underneath.

 

I bought it when it first came out, but I got lost while searching for the Sky Temple keys, so I put it on hold for a while. Last week, I started it up again from the beginning, this time going for a 100% scanning run. I dunno about 100% items yet, though. I'll take them as I find them.

Right now, I just got the Power Bombs, so I'm going around to various places I saw previously and breaking the Denzium walls. Eventually I'll head back to the Sanctuary Fortress, but I'm in no hurry.

I've only died twice on this second run-through. Once on Alpha Blogg, and once on the Boost Guardian.

 

Nitendo should make a code where u can play w/ samus w/out her suit the whole game in MP2

 

you'll see it

 

codes have to be programmed into games before they are released. They aren't made after the fact.

At this point, with no word from Nintendo nor anyone finding a legitimate way to access such a code to create such an effect, I doubt it exists.

 

I have ONE Luminoth log entry to find (have everything else including missle, bomb, and energy expansions) and I have no idea where it is. Not asking for help, I will find it, just wanted to relay my near suicidal frustrations.

 

try under the first portal, or where the the elevator to agon is, that is the most toughest place for anyone to find a log, but the most HIDDEN place for a log is when u talk to a Luminoth in agon, there is a secret passage there.

 

Argh. You read me like a book. Found it at the place where you talk to the Luminoth at Agon. I'm so disappointed in myself.

So I beat the game, get 100% scans, 250 missles, all energy tanks, 10 power bombs.....and 99% completion. wth?

Did you get all the beam ammo expansions?

 

There are 255 missiles in the game. That could be what you're missing. The extra 5 come from the seeker launcher.

 

255 missles? How devious of them....sigh....back to the drawing board.

 

Hehe, this was kinda funny.

 

BTW I'm currently borrowing MP2 & MP seemed better in a way ("My opinion) because all of the original beams & suits were there (Though, Samus has never looked hotter!).

 

"Metroid Prime. NO LOADING TIMES WHATSOEVER."

infact, there is loading times in metroid prime 1/2. You might have not notised them because Nintendo hid them in those elevator "scenes".
I have cube and love both primes, but thats the trught...

BTW, I registered only bacause of this topic

 

There's very minor loading times when you open a door. Occasionally when you shoot a door, the inner part of the door doesn't open for a few seconds. During those seconds, the next room is loading.

 

So it does exist.

 

If you select the quit game option Samus turns to the screen and mentions something about you not being able to go the distance with a girl.

 

You're joking right?

 

I went all the way with Samus once...man did it ever hurt. She wore that damn suit the whole time.

*waits for obligatory innuendo/Samus cartoon strip to be posted*
