Less than a week after release, game's done. 69% Item Collection.

Time to 100% it and start counting down the maaany days until the next one's release!

I've started a Review of the game 3 times, and 3 times I quit.

There's A LOT I want to say about the game... It's TOO MUCH... I can't encapsulate it!

It seems that you finally found something too big to take in, Leo

Do it!

LOL at Iga.

Glad you enjoyed it. Was the last few hours not Metroid fanservice heaven? I can't wait to start hard mode.

Hard mode is pretty awesome. I haven't died yet but I have come sooooo close. The recharge thing in the middle of a boss battle is nervewrecking. Getting past a bunch of enemies with one energy tank makes me feel like such a badass. At the same time though it strips the game away of all exploration so it is a basic action game.

Holy Ridley Boss fight Batman!

Yes, grab your crotch. It's that good.

Epiiiiic. Grinning I really like this game now, very good way of making a modern yet retro metroid. And Team Ninja have at times given it that Ninja Gaiden feel. I appreciate the harder parts and frantic feel as well as the finishing movies. The story and cutscenes remind me of cheesy Resident Evil, especially chasing that woman and the forklift fight. Love that Happy

Stop showing fake pictures of Other M. None of us have an HD Wii.

It's just wii graphics minus the jaggies, there are no new shaders or applied high res textures or new lighting. If HDTVs weren't so bad at scaling there wouldn't be so many jaggies. Most of the sharp pixels are the scaling of your tv. I wish I still had my SD set. It would obviously be softer and have a few jaggies but nothing compared to what a 50 inch HDTV does to the visuals.

P.S Why did no one call out the Xbox 1 screens they pulled off the buffer jagg free last gen?

Same reason they don't complain when it's done for PS360 considering pretty much all games' "screens" have tons of AA/AF that the actual games don't, or even often are taken from the PC version of games that have other better elements on top of those enhancements. People are blind Happy

The lack of music is disappointing.

You know what's also disappointing?

The lack of Travo on The VG Press for the last YEAR!

I started hard mode and started a new playthrough of Super Metroid. I am playing a lot more Super Metroid than Other M right now.

I've had Fusion in my DS for a while now. I need to get back to that.
