Is this the part you needed?


:awesome: :awesome: :awesome:
DUDE! YES. OMG thank you so much! And holy SHIT... I figured "what the hell" and popped a 2 in there: http://www.metroid.com/prime2/popup_flash.html IT WORKS! Did anyone know about this!? o_O

And does anyone know where the official Prime 2 site used to be?

I never thought about adding a 2 to Prime's site. x_x

Here's MP2's site:

Dude, that's AMAZING. I've always been amazed at how much you can do when you add a number to an URL instead of hunting for links. :P

I don't remember ever hearing about that Prime 2 index. It's the same design as the Prime 1 site except if you look at the data, it has nothing to do with Prime 1. However, there IS an alien artifact in there that has a Luminoth script on it. This site is a pretty cool design, though I think it would take a LOT of playing around with it to unlock everything. BTW, you can access security clearance data, but as far as I know, it doesn't register your e-mail for anything (I never got a confirmation e-mail).

Saw we didn't have these. Somebody posted these a while back in NeoGaf's forums. I dunno how they got 'em.

Oh cool, yeah we didn't see these before. The first one is a finished model of the Bottle Ship, and the second one is an unfinished one with Samus' gunship and the Bottle Ship in the background.

Also, a close look at the second one: 5 million polys FTW! :awesome:

Hmm, I guess the first one is a finished render. I thought it looked like a concept art at first, probably because my brain could not comprehend the awesome. Since, as you pointed out, 5 million polys! Good grief, they're not fooling around with this, are they?


Small thing! The new countdown timer, while shiny, has no numbers for me. I suspect it is probably my machine, or more likely my very stupid browser.

I experience the same problem. Because of that, I rely more on Wikitroid's countdown timer ( z:P ).

Fixed.

I developed on a different OS so I only had standards-compliant browsers to test it. Guess this is what happens when you don't go out of your way to make sure IE works, too.

This is something that doesn't need fixing but might want to be updated.
The official Metroid Other M site (www.metroid.com) has wallpapers. It might be good to add those into the "Fan Apps/Downloads" section. I've noticed the other official wallpapers were in that area so I'm assuming that's where it belongs.

Might want to take a look at the links page and clear out any dead links. I know for certain the link to Hardcore Gaming 101 doesn't work. The http:// part was typed into the address twice. There may be others.

In Beyond Zebes, you have the Spaceballs vid with The Wizard.


Also, I know Metroid was cameo'd in Codemonkeys. Season 2, I think. <3
