To break away from Other M for a minute, it's just been discovered that you can keep your stuff in Prime 2. Involves a bunch of tricky [parasitic bomb]. But it cuts down the lowest possible percentage to 8%. This is huge. Huger than when the puzzle of 20% in Prime 1 was solved. Hell, this is huger than the discovery of Space Jump First.

I am anxiously awaiting a video.

This is relevant to my interests, as I enjoy a good [tornado fang]ing up of a game.

Echoes proves yet again that it is the best Prime game. Ho-ly [parasitic bomb], what a week for Metroid games. XD

Who knows, maybe that bit about doing that in prime 1 may be true as well.

Most likely not. I don't believe it's possible to get out of bounds on the Frigate, and in order to get out you have to pass that trigger. Prime 2 doesn't have this problem because the intro sequence is on the same map as the rest of the game.

Oh, and let me clarify. Skipping the item loss is not old news. You can do it easily with Action Replay. What's been discovered is a way to do it without cheating devices.

Which is what makes it more interesting. Any shmuck can noclip with an Action Replay, or even just hack them back on after the cutscene. It's doing it without that will set the men from the boys.

so, how exactly do we do it?

Also, I find it funny how most people's bitching about Samus characterization is aimed at [spoiler] her confrontation with Ridley and the way she goes into shock[/spoiler] those folks who [sonic slicer] and moan need to get equipped with the Metroid manga, and the confrontation THERE! 8D

makes the one in other M look like a meditation exercise.

I find it kinds silly that the manga is canon. The tone's very different from the game itself.

And, well... Ridley TALKS there. =P

Wow, no [parasitic bomb]?  Goddamn, that opens up some major sequence breaking potential.

To get out of bounds, you have to use something called the Infinite Speed Bug. It's a strange bug that screws up hit detection, letting you activate triggers early such as grabbing items without entering the same room. I don't know where you use it in this case, but I'm guessing it's around the second room where you jump down in a cutscene.

If you go to the spot where you lose your items, apparently everything is reset. You lose your items and your percentage goes down to 0. Supposedly the items you collected are gone forever.

It's a very hard trick.

And correction: 7% is the lowest. All you'd need to collect is Dark Beam, Light Beam, Dark Visor, Dark Suit, Light Suit, Power Bomb, and Screw Attack.

@Prime 2 stuff:  WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!! that's awesome~

@Authorization controversy: I've no problem w/ it.  If anything, it just makes me appreciate Samus on how tough she is, unless the player died that much on the early volcano areas.  Then well, tough luck to you.

The heat never was a problem for me. The damage it does is so small. It was the enemies and the lava that was killing me at first.

I thought that pretty much the whole game was based on "now how do I kill this thing?" rather than pure twitch-reaction skill.

Seriously, the only part of the game where I had problems while knowing how to beat the boss, was Ridley. He's amazing as a boss. 3 tries.

What Other M would look like displayed on a higher resolution?

I really do wonder why Nintendo just didn't include 720p display support on the Wii.

There are already HD screenshots of Metroid: Other M around, when played on the Dolphin Wii Emulator.
