    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.

  3. Jeeeeeez! Playing #MetroidPrime2 again, and I just played the MEANEST bit.

    After getting the Seeker Launcher and returning to subterranean Torvus Bog, I had to take two big half-loops around the area to unlock a door in the central chamber.

    Doing so blocked access to the save station. Onwards it is.

    Found the Gravity Booster, forcing me into the super-mean Alpha Blogg battle.

    Beat the stressful boss with 29/699 energy (health) and A LOT of unsaved progress.

  4. Need to log my playthrough of Super Mario Bros. Wonder that I finished a few days ago. Haven't had much computer time recently.

    That said, since SMBW isn't pulling at me anymore, I'm finally continuing my #MetroidPrime2 playthrough.

    Enjoying it, despite a light touch of anxiety attached to its dark world... and the annoyances in how much effort the devs seemed to put into discouraging exploration... in an exploration-focused series.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  11. 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.

    It felt... So damn good to finally find this missile upgrade, y'all have no idea hahaha. :alicemlem:​

  13. That's it! Finally finished this game with 100% item collection, hahaha. :alicemlem:​ 🖤 ☀️

    I'm sure my final time would have been much lower if I hadn't gone though the entire map multiple times trying to find that final missile upgrade... :aliceweh:​

    Still!! I can definitely recommend this one, it's a great entry. :alicehappy:​

    I can't believe it took me so long to figure this one out. Damn. :alicemlem:​

    Anyway, cool! It doesn't seem like this one's required, but neat nonetheless. :aliceheartblack:​

    Skipped ahead a few clips to just show y'all getting the energy back to the light temple. :alicemlem:​

    All that's left now I think is to probably get to the "sky temple" the game has hinted about here and there. Another "collect ten of these things hidden throughout the game" deal... Yayyyy... :aliceweh:​

    That boss has three phases, and guess what?... They were all centered around the morph ball mechanic.

    What the hell is this game's deal with morph ball mechanics? :alicesideeye:​

    Anyway, beat the boss, got the annihilator beam. :aliceheartblack:​

    Finally! Got the final dark temple key for this area. Time to head for the temple. :alice:

    The screw attack in this game is definitely not a buggy, glitchy, unfinished implementation. :alicesideeye:​
