Maybe you've seen it all already but this on IGN today:



Defeated enemies don't drop as many power-ups as the US version; less ammo and energy
Stronger enemies: it takes more shots to eliminate certain enemies and their attacks are more powerful
Faster loss of energy when walking on acid or lava
Some doors will now require multiple shots to open just like in the SNES game
Hint system refined: it takes 10-15 minutes longer for hints to appear when players are stuck
Gamers can skip cut-scenes after they've played through once
Includes speech: English speech for the intro and voice output when scanning objects and adding them to the log. Also, a voice notifies players when doors are locked and unlocked and there is an added voice for the ending of the game


Looks like they think we play better games, or have higher IQ's.

I Like. :o)

So by delaying the game they managed to improve it.

Is the importers going to call it rubbish now? Should think so.

This may be true but I never, NEVER, give up on a game. I beat it no matter how long it takes even if I may have to rent it a few more times.

Or could it be that they just want to make it better just for the sake of having a better game.

>or have higher IQ's.

Implying something ignorant like that absolutely makes you have an IQ billions of times above me and everyone else. Congrats.

Yer, just had a check, that's right.

Told you there was some speach at the start. Only a little, but still some!

It says:

"The last metroid is in captivity, the galaxy is at peace."

Big whoop.

Ever played Star Ocean?

The biggest SNES cart, as it was an RPG which had loads of speach in it.
