Just a few more days intill Metriod Prime Hunters is unleashed on the public and I'm mad suped up. Every interview with a developer only confirms that this game will be nothing short of dope. Playing the demo of the game that came with my DS when I first purchased it I thought, the controls where already solid (the closest thing you can get to a mouse, probably better). The visuals where a little lackluster but not too bad. But now, it seems like everything has been polished to perfection. From the graphics to the already solid controls even the game modes. Offline seems to offer a great experience and Multiplayer seems like its gonna be off the meat rack! featuring seven different type of match types. The most interesting being a football type of mode where you everyone goes for one ball then the players who gets it has to truck through everyone and reach his goal to score.

Some comments that really sounded cool.

QUOTE

The game tracks an exorbitant amount of stats. Every player gets a Hunter's License, that keeps track of everything. It tracks the distance you've walked through the game, how many headshots you've had, how long you've played the game, what your favorite hunter is, what your favorite gun is, the arena where you've won the most ... It also tracks cool things like alt form kills and biped kills.

What's really neat about the stat tracking is that it shows how we tailored this game for a hardcore audience. I think that stuff like that might not be exciting to casual gamers, but to people like us it's the best thing ever. And the fact that the stats are also tracked at NintendoWiFi.com and MetroidHunters.com is also really cool. The stats give you something to shoot for. Even though I may not win every match, for example, I might have a better accuracy than you.

How does the Friends and Rivals system work in this game?

If you have a Friend set up on your list, you can use the voice-over IP chat online, or you can chat with them using the messenger program. The idea for Rivals came from playing Mario Kart DS. We'd have really cool matches with complete strangers online, and then never see them again. We wanted to create a way to keep track of these guys, but still keep everyone safe online.

After you play someone, you can decide to add them to your Rivals list. If they agree, you will become Rivals. Then you can follow that person's stats and you can try to connect with them again later. That also plays into our Rival Radar which is similar to Bark Mode in Nintendogs. If you activate your Rival Radar and pass by someone else who has it on, you'll download their Hunter's License and they'll become your Rival.

So who, of my fellow AT'ers can I expect to see and go on hunts with? I better see you on this Kaz! Or else I'm renewing your FFXI account!

So... in using only the DS controls (no stylus), how quick and/or natural does it feel? FPS games are pretty twitch-based. Do the controls allow for that? --------------------
