Mirror World? That sounds like something out of the Mushroom Kindom.. :P

Maybe she could be exploring mirror world. So your buddy can play as samus' mirror image.

Co-Op with who? Nintendo can't just pull a Samus Loogie out their ass for her to become pals with. She's a lone bounty hunter, and that's the way it's always been.

I think it would work the same way Turok's should've worked (and did to a certain degree).

It would be really good if you could unlock enemies to play as.




It would be even better if they gave the game the camera angle that went with the rest of the design, but hey, lets just be happy with what God gives us. :-)

I'd love Prime Co-Op (if it was properly implimented), but I can't see deathmatch working. Of course, I hope I'm proved wrong, but Metroid in multiplayer? It's just not right.

Ah the multiplayer just keeps getting better and better...

Grapple hook across the arena's...

GIMMIE THE GAME NOW.

Hang on I'll complete the first game first.

"Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

In this highly anticipated sequel to Metroid Prime, become the bounty hunter behind the visor once more and travel to a planet torn into light and darkness. Hunted by a mysterious entity and a warring race called the Ing, Samus Aran must explore the light and dark worlds of this doomed planet to discover secrets and augment her suit's weapons and abilities.

And now, for the first time in the history of the celebrated Metroid franchise, up to four players can battle each other as they search for weapons, grapple across ceilings, and turn into Morph Balls to make their escapes."
