GC-any region-Metroid Prime Echos preview disc

Pages: (1/1)

Today I picked up a $1 Gamecube disc - Metroid Prime 2 Echos Preview disc. I think it's the same one that came with the 2004 re-release of Metroid Prime just prior to Echos. Anyone willing to whip up a cover for it? It's pretty neat actually - it has a fairly lengthy demo, history of the series, photo gallery trailer and a few other little extras. Because I bought it disc only, I'm left with nothing really to cover it with. Thanks guys.

This disc was free one of two ways. It was given away by mail from Nintendo if you registered (I think) 5 products on their website and requested it. It shipped in a plain paper sleeve with a precautions booklet and a "Confidential Subject Report" that advertised Echos and detailed how to unlock the original Metroid in Metroid Prime I. The other way to get it was packed in with Metroid Prime I (in a GameCube bundle I think) - it came in a two disc case with the split cover you mentioned (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=2862)

I wouldn't mind some kind of custom cover for this one, but if you're looking for something to do with it for now, you can print out the Metroid Prime I Split Cover (assuming you have MP1) and pack 'em together in a two disc case or, as I've done, I simply put the bonus disc in a two disc case with MP2:E. Since the two discs have the same design and color, they look nice together anyway. :)

Doom:

The demo disk is nice-and if the demo is just like the game, Prime 2 is way better than Prime. But I'm a CAG, so I can't experiment like that :P.
I'd recommend getting Metroid Prime and a double disk case.

Oh I have Metroid Prime lol..it was one of my most antisipated games ever. Im not one of those people who preorders games very often. In fact, very very rarely. In fact, in my entire gaming history, I can only remember preordering the following:

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddys Kong Quest: The earliest game I can remember preordering when preordering was a brand new thing. I had seem gameplay in some mall or something and man I knew that I had to get this game, no matter how much allowance it would cost me :D. This was the first game I bought on my own with my own money and it was a pretty scary thing for a kid......but man was it worth it. To this day it reamins one of my all time favorite games.

Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (PSX) came with game, HARDCOVER manual, music CD, CLOTH map, and a rock-em-sock-em style Gallion. it was awesome. I still have all that stuff stashed away.

Rouge Squardren (N64) anyone whose old enough and played games in the n64 era will remember just how big of a deal this game was and how much ass it kicked. Compared to its sequals and other Star Wars games since it doesnt hold up as well but it was still a real marvel at its time. I had to preorder it because it had me freaking out since Shadows of the Empire pissed me off so much!

Pokémon Gold (GBC) since before Pokémania really hit the mainstream I was already a big fan. I distinctly remember playing the game before the English version anime aired. Playing it on my Super Gameboy on a 13" Commodore 64 monitor freaking out how cool this game was. Pokémon Gold and Silver were almost as intsipated to me as Super Mario Bros. 3 was to the slightly older gamers when it came out.

Metroid Prime (GC) Super Metroid in 3D?! That thought alone was enough to warrent my preorder.

Megaman Anniversary Collection (PS2) Rockman Complete Works English Version. Amazing. As a kid the Megaman games were by far my favorite games of all, and even today I am an awful sucker for the games Capcom whores out annually. From the classic series (my all time favorite to X (second favorite) to Legends (loved it) to Battle Network (different, but still good) to Zero (lot like X) and now ZX and whatever Capcom is going to call the DS sequal to Battle Network, I am way too much of a Megaman fanboy for my own good ::)

Sorry about the rant, felt like being vocal tonight!

I just found my bonus disc and I was just thinking the same thing. I may make a cover by modifying a MP2 cover.
