Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Preview

The Metroid Prime 2: Echoes preview trailer is a trailer that was first shown during E3 2004 and later distributed within the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc.

The beginning of the trailer features a message about how it was currently connecting to the mainframe and retrieving the Galactic Federation Marine Corps' Bravo Team's mission footage on Aether.

It then cuts to footage taken from the Combat Visor of 1LT K. Deckard while it was still online, which depicted him on top of a derelict vessel firing down around at an unknown enemy before panning down as the enemy in question, black crawling creatures, proceeded to board the vessel from below.

It then cuts back to the data feed, outlining mission file 05246, which detailed how contact with Galactic Trooper Squad Bravo was lost 30 days before.

It then cuts to footage taken from the Combat Visor of SPC C. Campbell, who is firing on the enemy from below from atop a cliff, presumably at the same area as before, only for one of the creatures to leap up while snarling and Campbell barely emitting a scream before the footage is cut, and then shows a system alert for Samus's power suit and zooming in on her heart while reporting a failure with alarm blarings.

It then cuts back to the data feed, listing the contract agreement requiring that Samus be dispatched to locate the Federation troopers and render assistance to them.

It then cuts to Samus Aran fiddling with several holographic panels in an unknown building.

It then cuts back to the data feed, revealing data confirmation that the last known transmission for Squad Bravo was received from a rogue planet within the Dasha region called Aether.

It then shows the planet Aether, which is turning blue and purple in a rapid rate, as well as shifting slightly.

It then cuts back to the data feed, which states that it is uploading the last known coordinates.

It then shows a planetary scanner that's analyzing portions of the planet, before eventually getting a lock at coordinates 78.67.363 and then analyzing the area and then setting a flight path before cutting to Samus Aran's Gunship heading towards Aether and going through atmospheric reentry.

It then shows a honeycomb screen with spindly legs as well as letters shifting from Metroid Prime to Metroid Prime 2.

It then shows Samus, having evidently landed on the ground from jumping off the ship, standing up and readying herself.

It then cuts back to the aforementioned honeycomb screen, which then proceeds have the letters shift to the full title: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
