This is a video showing all of the suits from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - the Varia Suit, the Dark Suit, the Dark Suit with Gravity Boost, and the Light Suit - all fully functional in the first Metroid Prime!

Lately I've been spending a lot of time learning how Metroid Prime works and figuring out how to mod it. Hoping to be able to make more complicated mods soon, but for now, this is one of the first cool things I've managed to do!

Echoes's Varia Suit replaces the Power Suit. The Dark Suit replaces the Varia Suit. The Dark Suit with Gravity Boost replaces the Gravity Suit. The Light Suit replaces the Phazon Suit.

The conversion isn't exactly perfect; some of the rigs are a bit off, as you can probably tell from the video. That's because I don't have the tools for actually creating custom rigs, nor do I know how to make a decent rig, so this was done by simply taking the skins from Echoes and converting them to Prime 1's skin format, and modifying them to work with Prime 1's Samus skeletons. There's a fair few differences in the skeletons between the two games (especially the morph ball transition skeleton), so this led to the conversions being less than perfect.

The worst offender is Zero Suit Samus, and honestly I don't even know how she got screwed up so badly, but it didn't seem quite worth the effort to try to fix it. Plus it's kinda funny.

Another little flaw is that I currently don't have a way to change the morph ball's inner glow color.

No release planned at the moment; just wanted to show off something cool I did. If you wanna see more of this mod in action, I do some randomizer streams with it on every so often, and I'll consider streaming a regular playthrough with these suits sometime soon if there's some interest in it. Stream link is below.
