I hope she'll write up her experiences, or better yet grant us an interview!

Stealing the master disc would also work.

Jackie is totally not playing - watch her thumb compared to Samus' movement on-screen. I wish she'd dropped the controller or fallen over or something, and the gameplay video kept playing.

Sorry to change the subject (and for being away so long), but I noticed something during Jackie's demo. When she walks on stage, some remixed Metroid music is playing. Specifically, "MetroTransFunk" a fan remix by Franz Keller.

The part they play in the keynote starts about 12 seconds into the song.

Do you think Nintendo contacted Franz about this beforehand?

Quote from Arkarian:

Does anyone else think that suit is ugly as sin? I mean, it's basically all silver or metallic, but then there's the random red parts at the top. Looks so bland.

Good thing you don't actually see it much ingame, so it's not really a big deal.

<3 the Suit
best. suit. ever.

Keep an eye on this:

Also, here's a developer walkthrough of most of the 2nd half of the E3 demo. Pay careful attention to the springball + BJ action...

Vids look awesome, other than the two that won't play and make me have to reboot when I try. >_>;

red chamber dream

Spring Ball is almost the entire reason I'll be buying the game. My favourite item in the entire series.

Also, does anyone else think the Visor switching is a huge step backward? The dev playing the demo in the one vid says "you don't have to go into any submenus or anything like that" to change Visors-- --but that's exactly how the first two Primes were: you could switch with just a quick press of the D-pad, as you walk. Now, you have hold a hard-to-reach button and look up or down, which is both annoying and hinders your view. Overall it's not too bad, but they could've thought of a better method imo.

Not really; switching visors while in battle got confusing.

The attract videos do. It seems like the tune isn't finished yet seeing as it abruptly stops, but still.

im really glad to hear that IGN says the controls work well.

The tune doesn't stop. It just goes into a typical Metroid style "DUN... DUN... DUN..." bit only it's hard to hear over the background noises. (I listened with headphones)

Also the German word is "Kämpfen" translated as "Fights"

Also the French bit is "vous mourez si votre" translated as "you die if your "

Maybe there's hidden messages in the really fast bit laugh new

Springball looks awesome. DBJs with just one bomb, so a TBJ could be done with 3! Thanks so much Retro.

G4 just hinted that you can do a regular jump with just a flick like springball.

Sounds on the face of things to mean use the special powers too much and become as corrupted as dark samus, or the way of dark samus (her path, you fall to it)

corrupting yourself sounds like even more fun than MPH!

2007-07-12 10:26:09 pm

I like what I see. I was particularly amused by the Developer's comments about people not liking the spring ball because they wanted to spend an hour bomb jumping. laugh new

overall, I am even more excited than before. Not much longer to wait now! 8-)

ohh, not me. Its got a rhythm and is neat-the extended bomb jumping - though its re-pet-at-tive.
Hm, or maybe not, as the scenery unfolds as you climb, fine.
