Fusion never happened and the Prime series (including hunters) bite ass.Uuuuuhhhh... yeah. I disagree with just about everything in that sentence. Hunters wasn't all that great, but the others were fantastic games.
The whole Metroid series has a following I never could understand.So what, every single game has to be devoted to a deep plot? Super Mario Brothers was a terrible example of game design because Mario wasn't on some angst-filled, existentialist quest?
It started (and still is basicly) a platform shooter.
Yay for deeps, sensible plot and characters. :rolleyes:

And jeez, people, I thought this was new material you were talking about. Don't you guys pay attention to E3 stuff when it happens, instead of four months after the fact? :p
Mario: Save the princess! (again, for the fourth bloody time)
The plot of Metroid is just like the plot for Mario - a whole lot of laughs.Yeahno. In any iteration, Mario is essentially playing out, "Save the princess, save the world." Samus, however, has a legitimate storyline connecting all of her titles, including a reasonably-detailed origin story. It's not exactly Pulitzer-worthy, but it's hardly total fluff, either. Metroid has been traditionally been viewed as the most mature of Nintendo's original properties, and the fact that it takes its setting and story seriously is a big part of that.
Prime 2 was super purple wasn't it? Never played it. .
Really? That's kinda funny. <_<Prime 2 was super purple wasn't it? Never played it. .
Yes, it was the purple one. It actually made me physically nauseous.

Metroid Prime 2 gets a lot of hate but there's a lot of fun to be had with it in my opinion. The game also has some spectacular boss fights... along with a spectacularly annoying one. Curse you, boost guardian!

Curse you, boost guardian!I did enjoy it for the most part myself. Perhaps not quite as much as the original Prime, due to the Dark World having the exact same layout as the Light World, but it was still fun. Though dear lord, that Boost Guardian...
The Spider Guardian is the one fought entirely in Morph Ball. The Boost Guardian is only fought in morph ball half the time.Nah, boosty is all in morph ball mode as well.
Only partially is Boosty fought in morph ball mode. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgDUj4Uc2LM) When he's in puddle form, then you fight with a Morph Ball, when he's not, that's when you Light Beam him to death.Drat, you saw through my evil plot!
Now stop trying to confuse everyone! :p
