Kotaku has a nice list of tips and codes you can use in Metroid Prime 3 with some of them being more of a novelty than others. I have yet to try the radio codes, nor did I know about the lights on the top of her helmet. It’s also cool that they included bumper stickers for yet to be released games. Check out the list of tips and tricks below for MP3:

Codes for the Cockpit radio (Use radio from left to right)
• Code1 2751 Iwata
• Code3 4617 Sakamoto

Tips
• The four lights on the top of Samus’ helmet indicate the battery life in your Wii Remote
• Hypermode - by managing your Hypermode correctly, you can stay in Hypermode for 35 seconds. As your Hypermode bar level increases, shoot your weapon to deplete Phazon. This way, you can “float” in Hypermode and stay in it longer.

Ghor Battle - Freeze the Fuel gel puddles on the ground to cause Ghor to Spin out and slam into a wall, making him stay stunned for a longer period of time.

The following creatures can be killed with one shot by using the Nova beam and X-ray visor:
1. Metroids
2. Metroid Hatcher
3. Bezerker Pirates
4. Commando Pirates

Bumper Stickers available
• Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
• WarioWare: Smooth Moves
• Excite Truck
• Mario Party 8
• Wii Sports
• Wii Play
• Super Smash Bros. Brawl
• Super Mario Galaxy

Here is a very interesting video I found over at TheTanooki.com showing how you can beat Mario 64 using only 16 stars. Some shortcuts are used but there is also a very fine display of skill using Mario’s techniques and the camera system from the person playing to the point it’s nothing short of amazing. The best play through of Mario 64 I’ve personally witnessed.

The video weighs in a just over 20 minutes so grab a soda and maybe some popcorn and enjoy!

Here’s a great list of Easter Eggs that have been found in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Nintendo Wii or the GameCube. Check out a few of the samples below, then visit the link for the full list:

- You can talk to Epona when you’re beast Link. She tells you to hurry up and change in to your human form.

- The night sky is an accurate representation of the real night sky. Stars are the correct brightness, and constellations such as Orion and Cassiopeia. The moon moves, but the stars stay still, however.

- Hyrule in this game is geographically the same as in Ocarina of Time. (flipped horizontally for the Wii version, as we know)

- The howling stone songs are all from Ocarina of Time. One of the Howling Stone songs is the Requiem of Spirit. Another one is the Song of Healing. Another is Oath to Order.

- Oocca are inspired by M.C. Escher’s painting “Other World”

- You can find a silver rupee in the Cave of Ordeals, it’s in the room with two Dark Nuts (about floor #39). Use the wolfs sense and dig for it. There is also a silver rupee in the bell in Kakariko village, you can clawshot it, or shoot it with bomb arrows, and there’s one more in a chest towards the end of the game.

- In Agithas castle, you can kick pill bugs. Turn on your lantern, and the bugs will be attracted to it. Also Agitha will get frustrated if you leave her castle without giving her a new bug. Agitha can also be found outside the southern entrance of Castle Town, looking for bugs in the grass.

- If you go back to Diababa’s lair a second time, there’s a bottomless pit of water.

- In the fishing hole, Hena has a picture of the fishing pond owner from Ocarina of Time. If you quickly look over at Hena after looking at the Legendary Fisherman from OOT, she will be scratching her back. If you talk to her when she scratches, she makes a comment about it. In OOT, the Fisherman always was scratching his back.

- You can grow pumpkins by pouring water on them, which improves the items they give. You can also pour water on certain people for a reaction. These appear to be the only use of bottled water in the game.

Here’s that link again.

A few videos have popped up showing how you can use glitches or exploits in the Twilight Princess game to obtain items before you are supposed to or finding shortcuts to places that normally take longer to reach. A user on YouTube named SexyZora19 has made a few videos showing how you can do it too. Some spoilers inside, click play to watch each video below:

Some very interesting videos, I’ve always been entertained at watching people that not only beat certain video games, but also know the game well enough to figure things like this out.
