Star Fox 64 is also 30 minutes long.
well, depending on how well you know the game, super metroid can vary from 30 minutes to 17 hours (my first run)

You're making me think of erasing my memory just to play those games with a fresh experience.
And on topic...
I thought this game had a LOT of untapped potential, and I guess most of you would agree in this department (in various aspects, but for me, it was the story). In the end, it just basically felt like Wanderers from Ys (look that game up or watch the Let's Play from Deceased Crab, complete with I Wanna Be The Guy elements) in a sci-fi setting, complete with music inspired by Alien. It didn't feel like a complete waste, but I think I let my hype mode get the best of me on this one.

Now that I think about the ending, didn't any of you have a strange feeling that Melissa bore a strange resemblance to SkyNet and the final antagonist from Tales of Symphonia?
So...has anyone actually figured out what the deal is with that whole avalanche scene? It seems completely and utterly random to me. I got through it without dying on my first playthrough, but later attempts have all been a mixed bag. Is there something/anything that you can actually do to absolutely prevent dying? Sometimes I die even though I haven't hit any obstacles and the snow appears to still be quite a ways behind me. Other times, I hit a couple of obstacles and the snow is right on top of me, but I survive. It's almost as if they are trying to make you think that there is something/anything you can do to affect the outcome of this segment of the game, when in fact it is completely random.
Yup, Morph Ball all the way.
I don't know why, but I decided to read that Destructoid article discussing the story. I regret every moment of it. It's all about how the game 'hurt his perceptions'.

Samus' "higher calling" moment? That was near the end of Zero Mission, wasn't it? Also, I got the impression that she took her Power Suit off at the end so she wouldn't damage the helmet.

I've never died on the avalanche either, morph ball or no. I think you just have to make sure you run straight at the bottom to trigger speed boost so she can dramatically shinespark out of the way. Also, how could she get killed by snow? I mean, really? Yes an avalanche is a lot of force, but she's stood up to worse. And to get out, just spam bombs. It's just snow, it'll vaporize.
Speaking of the avalanche, that room is blocked off by snow afterwards. So what if you miss the two items in there? Are they permanently missable?

The items in that room are not missable. You're required the pickup the E-Tank, and the Missile Tank can be gotten later (They throw in a Grapple Point afterwards).
Also, she can get crushed by an elevator, so I'm sure an avalanche could kill her too.
You mean 3 missiles for each Metroid? I just blast them with supers, since that's a one shot deal and concentration easily allows me to get back to full power. Firing three missiles six times might take more time than 6 supers and two concentrations because of how fast those can regen missiles for you. (I'd have to check) Plus there is less room for mistakes since it leaves other Metroids less time to interfere with blasting one of their buddies.
