Disguzting homosapienz!...

Since SOOOO much has been put into this version from the Pal version.....
Has anyone tried the early Artifact of newborn trick?
or Power bombing OP to blow off all his armor?

Read the first post, those are both mentioned.

Early Newborn was completely fixed, and OP can be PB'ed.

Instarape Phazon damage. I went from full health + grav suit (first playthrough, shut up :() to 0 just after I passed the first drop.

And the beam troopers can be PBed as well, which is nice.

Especially if you suck and they come up during OP's fight.

Finally got the metroid jump and have continued through the game. I am now at Meta Ridley and am hoping to be the first person to do a 23% game.

Oh? I've done one. It's really annoying. OP Is MUCH easier though, thankfully.

I thought you said you made it to MQB and died.

Is there a detailed description of how to do the combat dash for SJF?

Baby Sheegoth

T3: I did once and died at MQB, then I did it again and got it with a slide jump and was very happy.

Does this version have the voiceovers not originally in the NA versions? e.g. in the intro and things like "recording to log book?" and the names of regions?

I don't remember hearing anything in the intro or the names of regions, but I believe MP1 trilogy version does say 'recorded to logbook'.

yep, "recorded to logbook" is the only voiceover that was added here.

after playing the jp version (which has the voiceovers too), i prefer the original silent version. these sound weird for some reason..

The "heat level critical" voice isn't new?

Prime Hunter

I thought it was. I don't remember that from the original NA version either. (That's when you are running through Magmoor/that room in the Ruins without Varia right?)

Baby Sheegoth

Heat level critical voice is new/from EU version.

Also, it seems that magmoor does slightly less damage in the EU version of the game.

This must be specific to this location, because I've touched phazon in other places with just the power suit and the rate of damage increase seemed to be normal.

It is. It's just to stop early newborn. You can still grab it via SW10.

A couple other sound changes-
The hint system gives the "data recieved" voice (which I believe is from prime 3) when the message pops up on the screen, and the sounds as the map moves you from your current position to the position of the hint has totally different sound effects from the original game.

Probably a pointless comment, but the invisible block covering the top of the spidertrack is also in the eu version of the trilogy. I'm pretty sure the versions are identical.

It's likely, their releases were literally weeks away.

at least we don't have to worry about extra version differences. there's too much already.

Phazon Elite WTR glitch and game breaker glitch still work

the game breaker glitch with leaving the room after killing the phazon elite without picking up the artifact rendering the game unbeatable was fixed by the EU/JP method of the artifact not disappearing.

I killed the pirate, unloaded the room, came back, and the artifact was still there.

That said, I can't imagine why anybody would go to all the trouble of killing the pirate and then leave the room before they picked up the artifact. Eh?
