So much to SCAN and READ lol. I like the visor and how you can see samus' eyes reflecting back at you and the way the eyes move and look in the direction when you turn! Nice touch!


May the NFOrce be with you always.

the game is nice, pretty much what I expected..
the controlls are good too, but i still prefer my mouse/keyboard^^
and the "switches" where you have to move the wii mote forward, they suck(or rather the controlling of it) Smile

Well I hate it how I have to point the wii mote always in the direction of the TV, cant really relax that way. =/

the only negative things I could say atm is:
I got kinda dizzy after playing for an hour (ok that could be because of the heat in my room) and I dont have much motivation to play further, but maybe that will get better when the story picks up.

oh and I wish I could play that other bounty hunter, the silversurfer ripoff Smile

You can check the gamefaqs.com message board. I doubt there will be a walkthrough for it just yet. If anyone replies, dont forget the spoiler tags. Smile

why should there be?
with so little releases and so few really good games.
on top of that the other consoles dont have their own section either.

Regarding the duplicate channels beeing formed.

Found this in another forum. Have not tested it myself, but it appears as if it is working. This was tested with Cyclowiiz, don't know if it will work with WiiKey, and the method seems a bit risky. This will not help the people who already has the duplicate channels.

Direct quote from the forum:
"Found this hope it helps


Allright. There is a way around this "double your News and Weather Channel" stuff. Ive done this on TWO Wiis, both with the latest 3.0 firmware (including the little one that came some days after the big 3.0 that fixed som internet channel issues) and both are modded with CycloWiiz. This is step by step how I did it on TWO Wiis (PAL ofc, BOTH got no duplicate channels!!!):

1. Ofcourse download the game.
2. Extract the ISO-files with WinRAR.
3. Make TWO NEW FOLDERS.
4. Copy the original ISO and paste one into EACH of the new folders you have created.
5. Run ONE of the copyed ISOs (leave the original alone...!) with Brick Blocker.
6. Run the OTHER copyed ISO in Region Frii (convert FROM USA to PAL!) (dont know if runing it through Region Frii is necessary, but I did it...)
7. Now burn TWO discs. ONE with the ISO that was "BrickBlocked" and the second disc with the one that was "Region Friid" (keep order of which disc is Brick Blocked and which is Friid...!).
8. Now you have two copies of Metroid Prime 3, right?
9. Try to insert the BRICK BLOCKED game. Black screen. No problem.
10. Insert the Region Friid game. It will now say "Initiating Wii System Update" and you can press "OK". Press OK, then on the next message press "I accept".
11. NOW! Let the update run for SOME SECONDS. Let perhaps 10-15% of the bar get blue, then UNPLUG your wii console!!!!!!
12. Insert the power again, turn on your Wii. You do NOT have double channels now.
13. Insert the game that you Brick Blocked (the one that used to give you a black screen...). Let it load, and BOOM; it works. Now you have a working Metroid Prime game and a non-doubled Wii

THANKS SETEM"

Yes, It's risky as hell.
Further reading in the forum I got the method from reveals that you don't need to unplug the console. You can hold down the power button for 4 secs and it will have the same result. The method is also reported to work with WiiKey.

I currently still have not tried the method myself, and to be honest I'm not sure I'm going to dare.

nope Sad

with regards to Wii having it's own section, no console has that but I feel your pain as the majority of peeps on nforce seem into 360 judging from the tonnes of threads for non-released games, but there are plenty of other forums to discuss upcoming wii stuff just would be nice to have more discussion with the peeps here Smile but can always create it ourselves I guess along with the template etc

I have a PAL Wii fw 2.2, updated it to 3.0 then did the above thing, made 2 iso"s 1 with brick the other with frii, and unpluged, rebooted...put game in and work 100% without having double chans, all the rest still works like 200% ...

About the game gfx are a bit poor, and game play is ok, story line seems ok so a good 8/10 for this game Smile

Unfortunately the games graphics are poor, the art direction however is amazing, and kudos to the artists who have managed to squeeze out what they did. What REALLY grates me is the loading times ala opening doors ARGGH open!!!!.

Personally im a graphics whore, I love my 360 and its types of games, but this game has me hooked in deep, the environmental puzzles mainly, it just brings feelings of gaming going back to its roots, enemies staying in their zone and just real old school game logic coming into play, I love it, having not experienced in such a long time with my 360. The whole game is an interwoven puzzle, and I really appreciate the stellar level design.

Haha Metroid Prime has always been programmed to load on the fly so I expect this is the delay you have to put up with before entering a new area. The door and loading is very Resident Evil I think. The old versions anyway. At least there are no "loading please wait screens" Smile

I always shoot the door from across the room where possible so that when I reach it it doesnt take quite so long to open. I think that works anyway! lol.

so they got rid of the physics in this game? I remember I was pretty amazed in prime 1 when I killed an enemy near an edge, and his arms or legs would hang down from the ledge.. In this one they just lie there in the air like they got a hover mode or something

I can also confirm that this works and I have wiikey.

Anyway, I am at the first boss and the game is kinda boring to me......will it get better?
