I finally defeated the final boss of Metroid Prime this week, on Friday night, I think. I won't spoil the ending, of course, but I did think it was a little disappointing. I'm not sure what I was expecting, in retrospect, but it definitely felt like an anticlimax. The win unlocked Hard Mode and the ability to use the Fusion Suit with the GBA linkup, but I don't think I'm going to bother with that stuff. Maybe I'll take a peek at what the Fusion Suit actually looks like in MP, but since a big part of the game is all about the exploration, I don't know that there's much point in playing through again now that I already know where everything is. I'd rather go get a used copy of Metroid Prime 2 and explore a new world, if I wanted to play it some more.

In other news, I officially hate the SA-X in Metroid Fusion.:evil: I'm stuck on a part of the game where I've got to fight my way past the indestructible thing, and I'm just about ready to flush the cartridge down the toilet. (Not that I'd really do that, of course.)

And for my random thought of the week, I was noticing that between the games (and next-gen systems) I have on my wishlists, a new computer that is overdue, and probably a high-def TV to go with the next-gen stuff, I probably have $5000 worth of stuff on my wish list. :shock: And that's not even counting the imported Sentai toys that I will most likely buy. Oh well, it wouldn't be as much fun if we could have everything we wanted. Right?
