Now, we know Samus' ship has the ability to put the occupant in some sort of hypersleep, but do you think the guys aboard the Tyr had the same luxury? Because that ship only has room for everyone to sit down and really nothing else. I can't imagine how they lasted more than a day if they were conscious.

Do y'all figure she went to bird school? Which is for birds?

Is that a Wocket in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

The last official release, or the fan-patch?

The 1.1 version.

There is no "official" release.

So the fan-patch.

I use "official" loosely here, to refer to the guy who actually did all the work before the CND.

I beat Metroid 2: Samus Returns yesterday. I got it on sale a month or so ago in a really lucky coincidence at about a third of the price of literally everywhere else.

I had quite a bit of trouble with the Power Bomb boss, and the last two bosses too me about a half dozen attempts each, but I had a lot of fun playing the game once I got used to the melee controls and timing.

Afterwards I was looking at some Samus fanart.note 

I saw this one piece of fanart and it hit me than Samus is almost certainly fit enough to have next to zero back issues.

Also here is a super cute Samus I'm sure has already been posted.

Looks like Ridley isn't the only one making his playable debut.

Well, that's another amiibo I'm definitely getting, just because at this point I'm pretty committed to getting every Metroid amiibo.

Here's something I'm curious about; Would you guys want to see Samus get a new design from her traditional Varia Suit to give her a fresh new look, similar to Link in Breath of the Wild?

Maybe an alternate set of power armor or something, due to her chozo armor not reacting well on a particular planet. I dunno. It could be done, but it all depends on execution.

[up][up] She kinda already did in Fusion. The Fusion Suit looks very different from her regular Chozo Armor.

Does anyone have a link to that one fancomic where Samus is at a bar and she flirts with two alien chicks and then blushes like crazy because they say she's "So cool!"?

[up] Thanks. The third one is what I was looking for.

EDIT: I like these two pieces of fanart.

I just picked up Prime 3. While I'll be spending most of today with Splatoon 2, participating in the Splatfest, I'll start playing this game either later tonight or tomorrow. I've already beaten the other two Prime games, as well as Hunters, so now it's time for me to finally complete the trilogy.

I would say Prime 3 is probably the worst of the trilogy, but considering how good the other two are, that’s not saying much. It’s certainly a fun game, although the bosses aren’t great.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR A GAME MECHANIC

Hypermode is... not well implemented. Every enemy seems to have far too much health to deal with normally, so you basically have to spend an energy tank on Phazon. After completing Bryyo, you have enough energy tanks not to worry about it, but before that combat just isn’t fun. It doesn’t detract from the game too much, but it’s an issue.

How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.

Prime 3 definitely has some bosses that are not good but it also has a bunch of really cool and memorable ones.

I can think of three good ones off the top of my head. Every single one of them is a late game spoiler, except for the first who’s fought relatively early in the game (but is a spoiler as well due to its sheer awesomeness).

They are Meta Ridley, Omega Ridley, and Dark Samus.

All the others really just consisted of “throw Phazon at it until it stops”.

How unfortunate that you are attempting to deceive me.
