NotEnoughGolds, I've beaten the game once or twice. But starting with 30 energy is not teaching you to survive. It's teaching you how to be bored to death. Refilling all those energy tanks is not remotely fun. Challenge should be through good, fun level design (which it has), not the unrelenting tedium of killing those infinitely spawning enemies over and over. And yea, Ridley is easy. I find Kraid is really tough though. His missiles are overwhelming, so I just freak out on the attack button and make sure I have a ton of energy tanks before. I find him harder than Mother Brain, actually.
Romulux, Ridley is killed in Metroid 1 from all looks and appearances. He disappears. And in Super Metroid, there is no indication whatsoever that he's been revived with prosthetics. And manga is not remotely canonical. The explanation in Other M is satisfactory (and kind of amusing), though. What you were responding to was before I got past him.
...WTF? Just defeated this robot thing not too long ago that was intensifying the gravity...Apparently it wasn't a robot either, WTF?! xD (it sounded like a baby when it died too)
Kinda reminded me of Nightmare.

Keep it PG-13-ish.
@turtlelink: You heard right, you're not allowed to use any weapons or suit upgrades until Adam gives the word. As for being able to use them all when you replay it, you'd have to be more specific. If you mean "replaying" as in starting a new file, then I doubt that it's true (you do have free reign to use them all once you beat your current file, though)...
"Don't make enemies, they'll stab your heart; don't make friends, they'll stab your back. Including me, including you, all men are trash. Don't love; don't be loved. Have nothing to do with other; live in isolation."
Also, Adam, About the manga: Manga = canon. I can't provide enough reasons for this, really. For starters, it was published on Nintendo's japanese website. It was also illustrated by the cut-scene artist(s) of Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission, and several of the unlockable bonus pictures in Zero Mission adhere to the manga's storyline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnKZ0yWfF0w&feature=related (look after the middle)
Wait, I was just reading somewhere else that there was an art book as a bonus for preorders at Gamestop? I didn't get one! Is this true? Or was there some sort of catch? Is it worth going complain to them about?
Edit: Eh, believe what you want about the manga. The guy who did the art work is not the guy in charge of the series' plot. Bonus pictures aren't exactly proof of anything, either. They're "bonus" for a reason.
@Adam: It is indeed true, I have mine right here...
Also, about the manga, it is canon. Where do you think the scene with Samus and Ridley from Other M came from? Where do you think it was established that Ridley was the one that murdered Samus's parents? Yup, in the manga...
"Don't make enemies, they'll stab your heart; don't make friends, they'll stab your back. Including me, including you, all men are trash. Don't love; don't be loved. Have nothing to do with other; live in isolation."
Some things they've borrowed, yes, but the creators have the right to pick and choose. It's their series, so any works related to it done by others is fair game for them to draw from. Personally, I see no reason to believe that everything in the manga is considered to have happened. All you list is one incident, rephrased again differently. But you can consider it to be canonical if you want. Not trying to change anyone's mind. I just don't see it as such.
Regarding the art book, how is it? Is there a lot to it, or is it more of just a pamphlet? I'm wondering if I should bother them. No way to prove I didn't get it, anyway.
@Adam: It's quite nice, actually, though smaller than it appeared on GameStop's site. It's not a booklet, it's a rubbery sleeve (it's nicer than it sounds) that houses 16 high-quality art cards of various characters and locations in Other M, with descriptions of each written on the back...

I knew I should have asked when I picked it up. But I was so eager to get home and play, who can blame me. Maybe the clerk didn't want to give it to me without my explicit authorization.

Yeah. It's actually labeled as an Art Folio so it makes sense. I thought it was a pretty nice bonus, considering how pretty some of the art is.

@Adam: I think you should go ask for one and see if they still have any left, I mean, you did pre-order the game...
@Kid_A: Yup, it was well worth pre-ordering the game for...

Can those of us who have finished at least the first part of the game have an exclusive and ridiculously spoiler-saturated discussion about the game's ending?

prime (which takes place after metroid) specifically says that he was revived with cybernetics in some of the scans. he never really dies in any of the trilogy fights, he just kind of falls of a cliff at the end of prime 1 and disappears into a cloud of phazon in prime 3, so it's not until super that you explicitly see him die at the end of a fight. trying to justify why video game bosses appear over and over is silly, but i think their explanation is pretty decent.
for what it's worth, i love the way they brought him back in other m. it adds so much weirdness to his character... you will never look at him the same way again.
^kid a , i think at this point anyone reading this thread is pretty much asking for the game to be spoiled. i myself think keeping the warnings up should be good enough.
