Are the elite ones the huge ones which hold that glowing phazon (?) ball in their hands? Is there a fast way to zap those? I just keep switching beams and eventually manage to kill them. Just wondering if there is a faster way. They don't seem that dangerous (don't do much damage) but they are slow and tedious to kill.

They are the huge ones that you first see in the phazon storage tanks. If you switch to the infrared visor, you'll see their primary weapon on their left shoulders. Two charged beam/missle strikes finish them off. They're slow and cumbersome so they have a hard time hitting. They shoot some kind of electical shock wave that you can easily jump over. Maybe eventually, I'll run into tougher Elite Hunters with different AI.

Can some one tell me where to scan

you can scan tons of things, but you have to be in "scan mode" with Samus's visor. Click the "-" button and move the cursor to the top symbol. Eventually the infrared visor symbol will appear on the left. Not sure what pops up on the right as I haven't gotten that far yet.

A question for those currently playing... Can you take screenshots in 1&2?

pixelman is correct. You have to unlock the screenshot tool with the collectible vouchers.

Aha! Thanks! I've only been using those for busting through cordite.

Put your analyst on danger money, baby.

Yes! Finally made it to Corruption! I've at least started Hypermode on the other two games.

Ah, I'm too caught up in poker to play this game as much as I'd like.
I did play some last night though, and just got the space jump boots.
Damn the black booster-ball morph ball looks badass.

Poker? Sexy poker?

I should have been more clear about what to target though (sorry!): switch to infrared and shoot the bright orange things on their left shoulder.

If you find the Ice Spreader That also makes quick work of them.

Why do I want to bring back Pluto? Cuz the 8 others bullied it and I don't approve of bullying and I am here with this pointless movement to remind people of how (in)significant it really is!

Oh yeah, I found the Grapple Beam earlier today.

I finally found my last missile tank and beat Prime this morning. I started a new game on Veteran only so I can scan the ONE thing I missed: Flaahgra's Tentacle. >_<

I'll probably start Echoes momentarily!

I'll have to restart to get more scans too. I think I've probably missed quite a few things. And now that I think about it, can you scan the equipment upgrades? Like the wave beam, ir upgrade, etc? If so, I've missed every single one of those. I always jump on them before I even consider that I could have scanned them.

Oh, here's a question:
Who chose to replay these on 'Veteran' difficulty instead of taking the easy way out?
(I chose veteran)

Yeah, you can scan them, but you don't have to. I'm just a scan-a-holic.

While I do like the fact that the game has a "new game plus" sort of thing, I don't really have a reason to scan anymore unless I use a different Mii slot.

You have to scan things because it gives you hints. I have the scanner visor on all the time because it shows me where the enemies are, as well as any items I need to reach.
