Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Launches

Posted by Zonk on from the my-first-video-game-crush dept.

The sequel to Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes has been released to consumers. Details on the sequel can be found via a Gamespy hands on look or a Gamespot review. A snip from the review: "If you've played Metroid Prime, you've essentially played Metroid Prime 2. Retro hasn't mucked with the original, winning formula, so veterans of the first game will feel quite at home resuming their position behind Samus' computer-enhanced visor."

    Still no JUSTIN BAILEY leotard code? Dissappointing.

      Humorously, when Metroid came out a kid in my kindergarten class (Justin Bailey) said the code was named after him because he wrote so many letters to Nintendo.

    resuming their position behind Samus

    I'm sorry, but that just puts all sorts of naughty ideas into my head!

      Besides, it's an inaccurate description. The game is first-person, so you're inside her.

      ...I guess that doesn't help with the naughty thoughts too much, does it?

    Hmm... So what happens when you combine the Screw Attack with "... resuming their position behind Samus' computer-enhanced visor."?

    Apparently, a good game. Hopefully, a good naughty game. :)

    Metroid Hentai... You know you want to play it..

    Were your friends dropped as children? Microwaved? Eat a lot of paint? If they couldn't make their way through the game with a map that often shows the next objective, perhaps it's because they kept drooling on the controller, making things hard to control.

    Methinks they played the game so ferociously because they couldn't find their way out of the room with the TV, and nobody checked on them for 3 weeks.
