Metroid Prime Done Even Quicker

Thanks to the Gaming-Age forum regulars for pointing to news of a new world speed record at Metroid Prime for GameCube. The record-breaker, Radix, was originally inspired by an earlier Slashdot article about CALFoolio's non-item-based speed record, and "decided... to focus on a 100% speed run: one that gets all 100 items in the game." This run comes with a complete video record of the amazingly swift 1 hour, 37 minute play-through.

Super Metroid

I used to be able to finish super metroid in about that much time, but definately not 100% items... Crazy...

Keep quantity to the other consoles. Nintendo is about quality.

I'd like to see you doing that with a PS game which is maybe "cool" but certainly not *FUN*.

Hehehe...maybe you should spend some 1:37h quality time to learn for the first time in your life what quality and *FUN* in video gaming are all about.

Lemme guess, you're a PS2 or XBox owner and still desperate to justify your purchase, right?

Get a life.

Actually he quit playing because he didn't own a GameCube... he was playing on his roommate's, who moved out. And I explained the 100% items or scans thing on the page... I guess even on the games section people dont RTFA?

Wow

That's insane, of course I'm just on my first run through, but I've only gotten 26% in like 5 hours.

Of course I'm actually spending a good deal of time running around enjoying exploring the world for the first time.

I think the 1% challange for Metroid Fusion on GBA is harder.

Great game btw, worth it for anyone who enjoys video games. Nintendo might take a long time to finish games, but they certainly do them right.
