Still terrible and I'm still never going to subject myself to the Wiimote again. The trilogy deserves the same treatment Wind Waker got.

Hell yeah crazy blinding bloom all over Dark Aether.

I only ever played the first Prime and am looking forward to the other two. The motion controls have been hard to get used to though, possibly due to not finding a good position for the sensor bar, but probably also because despite not even having played the game in over a decade my fingers remember what they should be doing and where with the original controls, which messes things up with the new ones.

Have you played around with the game's options? If you set the controls to "advanced" I feel like it's a lot easier to control than default, there's also a lot of in-game settings for the dead zone for your weapon movement and other stuff that, while subtle, might make it a lot easier to get used to the motion controls.

True, I like it a lot more than 2. 3 was originally going to be a more free form game based on bounty hunting where samus would accept contracts and fly to a selection of planets but the project was scaled back or something, so they crammed a Prime 1 style into their existing work halfway through development. That could have been a really cool game in its own right, but the bastardized version that came out is neat and has some important improvements on the Prime game play (control scheme improvement, fixing the end game key hunting, going back to the Super style of beam upgrades, and having the option to mark upgrade locations on your map were all great choices IMO).

The literal reason it got scaled back is that Sakamoto said he didn't picture Samus as someone who would do mercenary like jobs for money because he and Nintendo collectively did not know the meaning of the term bounty hunter. Japanese video games and manga do this thing where like, they have all these setting specific terms for people who are mercenaries or bounty hunters, but uh, I guess they're good guys so they actually just bum around instead? Geo Hound, Hunter Warrior, Buster, etc.

Prime 2's original concept was kind of crazy. It was going to be similar to System Shock 2. The whole game would be on a huge space station run by four different AIs competing for power and for your support in stuff. Though they may have axed it just because it would have been a bit similar to the relatively recent Metroid Fusion. But then Sakamoto went with a space station anyway with Other M.

Cowboy Bebop?

No way man he watches "BIG SHOT! THE SHOW FOR BOUNTY HUNTERS!" :D

That reminds of Rising Zan: Samurai Gunman though which I think must have partially influenced the tv show within the show.

Dude how the gently caress do you call yourself an anime fan if you haven't seen Cowboy Bebop dubbed?!

I thought that was a requirement.

I never saw the movie but I watched the show itself when it was new, but that was from what like 98 to 2000? Fifteen years is a long time man. :)

The actual design document is crazy ambitious and probably wouldn't have turned out all that well

As we know from Other M also being on a space station. :D

That's just "Rare's humor and charm" :laffo: I still can't believe Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Perfect Dark Zero are real games that were released.
