Jordan: Zero Mission



Gamespy has conducted an interview with famed Metroid creator/director Yoshio Sakamoto about the upcoming GBA game Metroid: Zero Mission, which can be found here: http://www.gamespy.com/interviews/february04/metroidzm/.

Gamespy has also had a nice preview done on the game, which is also worth checking out: http://www.gamespy.com/previews/january04/metroidmzgba/

Zero Mission is an all new Metroid adventure, loosley based on the original Metroid game for NES which was released back in 1986. What this means is that it's not just going to be a port of an old game with some graphical enhancements... Samus Aran has all new moves, new equipement and new areas to explore, as well as 20% to 30% of the game takes place AFTER the ending of the first. So... I'm looking forward to this new Metroid, as they don't come very often.

I've got another headache now... right before bed, as always. I didn't even work today, so I dunno why I've got one. Today was okay I guess... feels wasted, but while experiencing it, it wasn't to unpleasent. I got rude with Linzie while making supper, but I quickly apologized because it was just because I was hungry and she was asking tons of questions. I just kinda snapped.

I have to stay home from school tomorrow because I have to wait around from 8am to 5pm for UPS to come and pick up a parsel that I have to send to dell (the broken keyboard I replaced). So... that's shitty. Blah.

I played a lot of Kingdom Hearts today... Linzie and I got through Atlantica (The Little Mermaid), Halloween Town (Nightmare Before Christmas) and Neverland (Peter Pan). We're about 20 hours into the game now and are nearing the ending. I'm extremely satisfied with the gameplay and story, although I think they could have made a couple of the 'worlds' longer, but I know Kingdom Hearts 2 is coming out soon enough, so I won't have to wait long to explore new lands and such.

Ben and I also played a few rounds of UT2k3, which my system didn't seem to be able to run very smoothly... we then played a couple rounds of Killer Instinct Gold (and I AM still the universal champion). Then we played Mechassault, we raped in a few games of that, then got bored when we had to join a new game on XBox Live!. Shorty after that we played one race of Extreme G3... After that we busted out the Wave Rally, which we never really gave a chance. We played through the AM Class Circut, which we would have come in first if Ben didn't let the team down by not knowing the jump button.. I mean, come on, even Mario can jump. Why can't you? Is it because your parents beat you? Yes, I suppose it is. You failure.

I just got out of my bath, and I have to get up in a few hours to wait for UPS, so I'm most likely off to bed now. I've been listening to Thursday and The Used still, so ... goodnight.
