@Felthry in prime 3 I think the ice missiles were supposed to be some kind of supercooled liquid or something?
I think those games had "energy tanks" but "missile expansions" though
@lioness did prime 3 have ice missiles? i thought that was only fusion and dread
-F
@Felthry I thiiink so? prime 3 was the one where they switched to the wiimote & didn't have a weapon swapping UI yet, so all the weapon upgrades had to stack on each other
@lioness ice beam has always stacked on top of the other beam upgrades, though i guess that's except for the prime series
-F
@Felthry yeah!
I played Metroid II on game boy without a guide or manual or expectations (first metroid game) and, while I'm not sure I understood what was going on or that I'm remembering correctly I think the deal there was that wave and ice beam were mutually exclusive upgrades, and you could (repeatedly) switch by backtracing to the previous upgrade room/statue. but I could have just been confused about what was going on
