My favorite April Fools jokes are ones that just sound like reasonable news that just happens to not be true. Oh, ha, you got me marginally excited about something, or maybe you didn�t. Who cares.

New Modes Added

Three different boss rush modes have been added to the game. Press the R Button on the �Samus Files� screen to move to the Boss Rush selection screen.

Boss Rush

A mode where players fight 12 continuous boss battles, and aim for the best time.

Any damage received is carried-over into the next fight. Weapons are fully-restored between battles.

If Samus is defeated, players may select �Retry� to continue playing from the start of the battle they lost. There is, however, a time penalty for being defeated.

Bosses fought in Boss Rush can be fought one-on-one at any time by selecting �Practice�.

*Unlocked by clearing the main game a single time. (In the event that a player has completed the game before the update was released, they will be able to play Boss Rush immediately after updating).

Survival Rush

A mode where players see how many bosses they can defeat inside of the 5 minute time limit.

Any damage received, or weapons spent are carried-over into the next battle. Even if time remains on the clock, Samus being defeated will result in a game over.

Defeating a boss will add a fixed amount of time to the countdown clock. Defeat a boss without receiving any damage to receive an even bigger time bonus.

*Survival Rush is unlocked by completing either Boss Rush or Dread Rush.

Dread Rush

The basic rules are the same as in Boss Rush, but if Samus is hit by a boss, her energy drops to zero and she is defeated.

Bosses fought in Dread Rush can be fought one-on-one at any time by selecting �Practice�.

*Unlocked by clearing the main game using Dread Mode. (In the event that a player has completed Dread Mode before the update was released, they will be able to play Dread Rush immediately after updating).

General Fixes

Fixed an error where the Game Over screen would not display properly when Samus takes damage and is defeated immediately after destroying a central unit.

lol that you can duck in the corner to avoid Raven Beak�s gatling gun attack. I did know a lot of those other tricks though.

If you do a running melee attack into an aim, Samus will hold that cool crouching pose, and the way Raven Beak's gatling attack works, most of the shots will go over your head if he's firing at you diagonally. (Though dodging all of them is a combination of precision and luck, so it's not really viable for Dread mode.)

There was a new Metroid Dread race at GDQ last week, the time has gone down from 2 and a half hours to 1 and a half hours in the past 6 months, very impressive:

Metroid Prime Remaster getting a surprise drop later today!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2kc-wp20vE

Looks like it's had an actual glow-up too, rather than just running in HD. Looks like new models and textures, reworked lighting too?
Been a while since I played Prime 1.

Has dual analogue aiming as well.

The original still looks so good upressed to 4k that I'm actually not too bothered about picking this up straight away

It also pains me to see the continued erasure of Echoes, the dark horse of the series

at first I thought it was a trilogy re-release and I was excited for Prime 3 with no motion controls.

I also replayed Prime 1 with M+KB like last year, so chalk me up as also wanting an excuse to replay 2.

The Prime Remaster looks nuts. Nintendo of all companies putting out a remaster that looks better then the original. Pigs have flown. New character models, new textures, gorgeous volumetric fog effects, etc... it really looks beautiful.

What are the chances it runs at 30 FPS though?

GotDAYUM! Go Nintendo! I'm hopeful that we see the remaining 2 this year in preparation for a much-nearer-than-anyone-expects Prime 4.

the remaster looks really good but the real test will be if they brought back the charge beam effects that were removed from Trilogy

# ? Feb 9, 2023 02:16

Just Andi Now: Nov 8, 2009

They removed those because they were screen-space effects that didn't work with the pointer aiming right? Does this version have gyro aiming?

# ? Feb 9, 2023 02:20

ExcessBLarg!: Sep 1, 2001

They did. PrimeHack has an option to restore them since it restricts the reticle to the center of the screen and the canon doesn't move. But when I tried them they still didn't quite look right so I kept them off.

Does the remaster retain all the little visual touches for the visor? Like the water and steam effects?

I cannot recommend the Remaster enough. The amount of work done to it is almost Remake levels. It looks incredible and is a rock solid 60 FPS.

I got you.

Who actually did the remaster? Was it Retro themselves? One of the known remake/remaster studios? Some internal Nintendo team?
