Final boss - metroid prime, see if you can picture the scene.
20 minutes into 3rd attempt, boss energy very low - blatantly one hit to go before I conquer all
, Samus energy also very low 
.
Samus goes to charge her super missile attack to wait for a yellow glint in bosses eye to indicate she can use this attack.
Beam fully charged just waiting for the right moment to end all Talon IV's problems and be the hero/heroine.
The yellow glint comes and I hammer the firebutton and briefly expect to sit down and watch the ending in peace - however nothing happens
, charge beam dies and I don't shoot the missile!!!
Perplexed, I begin evasive manouvers - but still nothing happens!!! For a futile moment I think its some kind of Eternal Darkness style joke. Then the realisation hits - I look down at the wavebird and where there should be a glowing yellow light there is only darkness
Without even being able to pause I scrabble for the original controller, but don't get more than halfway across the lounge before I am unsportingly killed whilst being unable to move
ft:
God damn you Nintendo, could you not provide us with some kind of warning when the batteries where running low!
Having said that the batteries have lasted for quite a while, all the way through luigi's mansion, eternal darkeness and almost all the way through Metroid Prime (over 42 solid play on game saves for all 3!)
Oh well Metroid Prime will have to wait for another day
