@Crow: You sure the lens needs to be replaced and it's not something the $10 cleaning kit can solve? If so, that's a bummer. Hope you get to play Other M soon...

@MF Thanks but, actually, my friend had already lend me his cleaning kit, so I could play Brawl, didn't work , and we even tried twice. It needs replacement.
Anyway, I'll play it someday, I hope it's soon too.

@Crow: Bummer, thankfully my Wii is still going strong despite being from 2006, and the problem it had reading dual-layered discs was related to a dirty lens and not a faulty one. I hope you can get it fixed soon. You should find more excuses to visit your friend and mooch off of his copy of Other M...

I dont know if this is a help thread in anyway but im trying to finish this game 100% and i am at the point where i can go back to the Bottle Ship and pick up the items i missed, im in sector 3 and theres a hidden item in a room where theres ramps(its next to a dead end Navigation Room.) and a super missle door i blew up the super missle door and got a missle tank but theres still another item in the room and i cant find anyway to get it. Ive used power bombs and i cant lock on to anything can anyone help me out?

@sumba: I think I know which room you're referring to, but unless I can see a picture then I can't help you out. There are guides that lead you to the locations of each pick-up already, though, so you might try one of those...

@Metroid_Fan: Thanks and i got it there was an elusive tube i didnt go down and i feel foolish now

@sumba: That's fine, I know I felt foolish myself when I found a few expansions that were right there for the taking the whole time (such as one under a fallen stalactite and another in a morph ball tunnel near that ceiling that I waited until getting the Space Jump to grab, when it turns out the tunnel had a reachable entrance right in the other room)...

@Twilight Crow: I feel your pain. My Wii didn't like it (even tho its been sent to Nintendo once already to fix this very problem, supposedly, and I've tried the cleaning kit also) so I took it to my bro's to play. DENIED! So I took it to a friends for a brief taster before we had to go out, and having played OM for half an hour, I didn't want to and was grumpy all night.

Anyway, I've just moved house and have a hundred things I need to buy, a new Wii-Drive isn't high on the list, oh well, it'll have to wait. Dammit!!!

@Machu: I'm sorry, man, but I hope you can play it soon (perhaps you need to abscond with your friend's Wii for a week)...

@Machu Oh man, didn't know your Wii had the same problem , so sorry.
Hopefully we both will get a new drive and play someday.

Why does the cheapest copy I've seen have to be $108 NZD???????????

@Bobpie: Don't know how much that is in dollars, but it sounds expensive...

unless you were a comic con i played it before you guys

@Tri4ce: Uh, and how exactly is that relevant? The time to gloat was before the game released, not after (especially since a lot of us have already completed the game by now). Also, didn't you already make this same post once before? It might've been in another thread, but I'm positive I've read this post of yours once before. Next time you post, please try to make it topical and a bit more mature...

Seemed like an innocent enough joke to me.

Ah! Damnit! Should've ordered the one-day shipping. Can't...wait...much longer...

I have a question for anyone who didn't have the check mii out channel and everybody vote channel, when you updated for other M did these channels sunddenly appear?

For the record, Samus doesn't lose any of her powerups in Prime 3.

that's nice, tri4ce. :3

She doesn't lose anything in Prime 3, she actually gains the PED suit. Prime 1 and 2 do the same thing kind of but if you played through them they kind of copy one another in more than one way. Adam being her father figure is what threw me off. Why him? (Even though we already know why but still.) I always thought of Samus as being the female Nintendo equivalent of Solid Snake: a ruthless with nothing to lose. But not any more it seems.

Then that's where you fail. You've obviously haven't gotten hit while in FP mode when fighting more than one enemy (it's quicker to progress in my eyes). If this was Super Metroid or Prime, shooting a missile wouldn't be so much of a hassle. Face it, in the other games, shooting a missile was much easier than in this game. Another thing that was drastically different from this game was every time you gained a missile expansion you received one more missile prior to five in the other games.

Nor completely real. No Metroid has holographic walls or environments like Other M does. Which is kind of well "dumb" to me.

I found them to be less clever especially when compared to it's predecessors. But maybe that ones just me. The gameplay is very clunky. It's ridiculous how many times I've tried to literally dodge and failed to do so. With it being a sequel I could see it's predecessors taking advantage of it's "good features" but that doesn't sway away from the fact that this game isn't as good as the others. (Just look at Metacritic.)

So you need 100% to get hard mode? You need to go through all of that tedious, hour long missile expansion finding work, the poor gameplay and FP mode sequences, easy boss fights, and the movie clips you cant skip, to get a fairly challenging mode? Well in Prime, (the fun, enabled movie skipping feature, awesome boss fighting, clever missile expansions, etc etc.) I could just beat the game on Normal/Veteran to unlock the challenging Hard Mode. Tsk tsk.

The nunchuck could have improved by if you were to just point at the screen you could fire a missile immediately. Point away from the screen to continue with your journey.
