Default Metroid: Other M

I really don't get the name, but eh.

This is a very different looking Nintendo game that is for sure.


Much better quality

This looks very cool and is a much needed break from the Metroid first person shooter games that have been dominating the Cube/Wii for past few years. It would be sweet to see a new 2D game made, but I guess for that people can revisit their GBA.

I'm not sure. Looks like it could turn out to be rubbish...

Then again, I can't come up with any 3rd person action games I really like.

Does the Wii have no abilities to create lighting effects? Ugh... Will still buy day 1.

This looks cool and different, I agree its time for a departure from the Prime series.

Haha no kidding about the lack of shadows. I like the looks of it. That first screenshot with Mr. Fuck You! I'm a Dragon! looks awesome.

I really want to know how it plays. But more melee combat is cool.

It looks like it has some 1st person aspects though. I kinda hope there is less FPS stuff and more 3rd person stuff.

Probably the coolest part of Metroid was watching Samus flip the fuck around.

If team ninja has a big part in this though... I really can't see how they can fuck it up. I mean Nintendo let the guys who handled prime go to town on it and all that so I assume team ninja was like "Oh... Yeah we'll do this right for once."

And they will. The guys who made Ninja Gaiden will not fail me. They can't. Can they?

I think it would be cool to have a 3rd person Samus game in a similar vein to Mario...only you get a gun. This could work great in 3rd person with the Wii, using the Nunchuck to move Samus and the Wii pointer to aim your arm cannon and maybe jump.

I think this trailer has more CGI than the entire output of Nintendo's games on the Wii

If it didn't say the name of the game at the end, I would have never guessed it was a Metroid game. That trailer seems pretty bad to me.

I'm not at all excited about this game.
But we'll see, I might pick it up for €15 one day.
