    Took me a while to get back into it after Wonder stole my attention away from it.

    While flawed, MP2 is a thoroughly enjoyable game. Especially the Wii edition. I like the dark aesthetic, but I'll admit I felt significantly more pressured by the corrosive Dark Aether sections than I remember.

    There were two mean sequences where you couldn't save between a section of progress and a stressful boss battle.

    Finished with 99% scans.

  2. My list of downloaded Steam demos is finally empty!

    Skipped a few, didn't vibe with a few, but finished most of them and added a fair number of them to my wishlist for the future.

    Now... I do have a bunch of full games installed that I'd like to play (i.e. #LostRecords and #QuantumWitch), but I could need some time to separate gaming from "working", so I'll start with a couple of console games like #MetroidPrime2 and #SuperMarioBrosWonder while I do some webdev during my PC time.

  3. I've been playing #MetroidPrime2 on #GameCube.

    A very pleasant experience, especially now that I have the digital-to-HDMI adapter. The image is 480p, which isn't stellar by modern games but looks better than the composite signal allowed.

    A few thoughts in 🧵

  4. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is slightly better than Metroid Prime 1.

    After Sky Fortress the game shits itself on discovery. The fourth beam is useless. Super beams are useless. The rest vary between ok and better than the previous game.

  5. Who else remembers Metroid Prime 2's Spider Guardian? Been stuck on that boss literally for *years*.

    The boss itself is hard enough, since the Prime series' morph ball physics aren't amenable to classic 2D-style morph ball platforming, but the reall killer was the "Nintendo Hard" anti-rental padding: you drop down two different one-way cliffs, fight a somewhat tough enemy encounter, watch an unskippable cutscene, *then* fight the boss. And then die.
