Doesn't come out in England for a while yet
My friend says he's going to get it (though he's still struggling on Metroid Prime, Prime Echoes and Fusion, which he's borrowing off me as well!) so I'll borrow it off him when he gets bored of it!
Zero Mission was my first Metroid game, took me about 7 hours first go. Then Fusion took about 4, was much harder in all, but I had the practice by then. I would love to get Metroid 2!
EDIT: oh, and for all those who're interested enough to read this thread might be interested to see my little
Metroid fan story! Alright, it's a parody of Zero Mission, and you have to have played that game to get some of the jokes, but I've been told by all who've read it that it's very funny! So go take a look and make a Splat's day!
