Here is the commercial all of the Warppipe members were talking about. It really does seem to indicate that Hunters is ‘coming soon.’ So, why would Nintendo secretly push this game up? Online maybe? Or maybe this is just some early publicity to help fend off the PSP.
Anyway, as with all of the other DS commercials, this one is great. Simple, smart and cool. Thank you Leo Burnett.











I notice that the main action screen for Metroid Prime Hunters is shown on the touch screen and the map is on the top screen. This is the reverse of the demo. In addition, it seems that the control sceme is significantly different. Did I miss some announcement regarding this? I am still very hyped for this to come out, though.

I’m really crossing my fingers for 802.11 Wi-Fi compatability in Metroid Prime Hunters. That would be so fun…

Philosopher, they are using it in Touch Shoot mode. You can do this on the demo if you wish. It is the worst control scheme, and I don’t understand why Nintendo keeps using it. It was the one that got so much flak at E3…because its just like..dumb. I mostly dont like it because it wastes lots of ammo.

I think they only did that to show off the touch screen. Everyone knows that mode sucks.
