Started up Echoes. Just left the temple; next stop, Agon Wastes.

One of my favorite things about Echoes was the Luminoth lore. They aren't ghosts like the Chozo on Tallon IV, and they were going down fighting the Ing with heroic detail...

The Luminoth are one of my favorite alien races. I really want to see them in a future Metroid game.

[up][up] Biometal Model S? I wonder what it'd be like when Double Megamerged with Biometal Model X.

Dark Beam and Light Beam acquired. Ammo conservation, ho!

The Power Beam is perfectly usable on its own; I found the Light Beam somewhat awkward even when dealing with Ings, and the Dark Beam also a bit awkward, even if solid when used properly.

The Annihilator Beam is a whole different beast that will replace all other beams, tho.

The Annihilator Beam actually makes the Emperor Ing super easy.

Nothing feels as good as landing a Sonic Boom in the first phase and seeing a third of his health go away in a single hit.

Finally got back to business; killed Amorbis, restored power to the Agon Temple, strolled on over to Torvus Bog.

Hey, so we have a page for every Metroid game, except for Corruption. Is there a reason why it's the only game that doesn't have a page?

I thought all three Prime games only had one page.

That may have been true at one point but we now have seperate pages for Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2 Echoes and even Metroid Prime Hunters, yet nothing for Corruption. Also, I think the Echoes page is fairly new or at least hasn't gotten much love as it's very small.

I don't think there's much sense in giving the Prime games separate pages. They're a singular narrative.

Yeah. It'd be like giving a trope page to each book in a series.

It had a page but got deleted because of "not enough info" even though there were plenty of tropes and links to it. I'll have to restore it.

[up][up],[up] Er, there are plenty of series that get their own pages for each separate installment. This one is no different.

Eh, I'd disagree, but I don't exactly curate the Metroid pages so if someone really wants to separate the Prime games into three sub-pages there's no reason to stop them, I suppose.

When it comes to tropes I'm fine with splitting them but with works pages I'm more of a lumper.

[up] All that proves is that there is no standard for this, and we can do whatever the hell we want.

Basically, yes.

I'm still in favor of single page, mind you.

Sure it's a single narrative but I'm of the opinion that if every installment is big enough it should have it's own page.

Oh really when?
