Stop and Talk
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009A hallmark of the Metroid Prime series — okay, hold on. I feel weird saying that a subset series that only started one console generation ago, despite being built on a storied franchise, already has its own hallmarks. It’d be like saying that a key component of Mario games is Goomba-stomping after only the first three titles. And yet, core gamers will note that I was very upset when I learned that the Goombas of Super Mario World could not be stomped, only flipped over and kicked around like common Troopas. Interesting how quickly we the gamers will adapt to new technologies or motifs, even in spite of our haranguement of them on message boards.
