Definitely didn't need 9 minutes to see all of it. Surely there's some video editing technology that can cut out the game intro and the collecting of bombs and some random missile tank for the last couple minutes. O_o
I've attached an image for people like me whose browsers crash when they try to play YouTube videos. And you know, you could just disable the Ice Beam on the status screen.
Yes, but when a video is posted, the general feeling is that you should watch it all, to see what happens. So, when you watch it all, and nothing happens, it seems a waste.
the cheated plasma without ice is green yes but if you just skip the ice beam (entirely possible) and play as normal you can get the plasma anyway, its just like the ice beam but white and without the ice trail, its pretty cool but you still need to go get the ice beam for the metroids.
