Posted February 11, 2010 The Game website says that Other M will be released on 24th September. http://www.game.co.uk/Games/Wii/Metroid-Prime-Other-M/~r342343/ Not sure if this is true however because they list Mario Galaxy 2 as coming out on the same date too.

Posted February 24, 2010 OK, I've done my duty and scanned the thread to make sure i'm not repeating anything. On seeing the summer release date announcement I had another look at the trailer. All this two samus business.. does it not scream clone (that combined with "other M" and the "living body arms development lab"). The shorter haired samus differs from any samus we have seen so I'd say she was the clone. The fact that blonde lady at the end is the spitting image of every other recent encarnation of samus would tell me that she be the real deal. I know if I was the galactic federation I'd try to make a clone of all my soldiers incase they you know...went off and became bounty hunters or anything. That or try to recreate their unmachable alien power suit. Could play into the whole "flashback" thing with recognition of this "Adam" fellow... the real samus' "genetic memory" coming back to the clone and goes off searching what this all means.

Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) some infos and picos * Metroid™: Other M, the incredible new Metroid game developed for Wii through a collaboration by Nintendo and the world-renowned Team Ninja, launches June 27. The game looks at the classic franchise from a new perspective: While much of the game is reminiscent of 2-D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3-D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran’s past. This new approach uses a new control scheme in which players use the Wii Remote™ controller held sideways to battle enemies and navigate the expansive, gorgeous environments in classic Metroid fashion, then aim at the screen with the Wii Remote pointer to blast foes in first-person and hunt the world for clues and hidden passages. soooo its based on a space station. cool.

Posted February 24, 2010 The info is intriguing and sort of Super Paper Marioish. 2D gameplay, switch to 3D in an instant Give me a decent save system and Day 1 purchase. If not, then tough luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 24, 2010 Nice design of young Samus. Metal Gear Samus: VR Missions. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 24, 2010 Seeing all of this Metroid loving makes me wonder just what Retro Studios have planned for us next. I liked their previous ideas which Nintendo bitch-slapped away from them in the face of more Samus. Hopefully they have been allowed more artistic freedom as their art certainly astounds in every title they have created for the world of Samus Aran. If we see nothing of Retro in the near future I fear they may become another Silicon Knights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2010 I'd love to see Retro announcing a game which doesn't involve guns or women, but rather pink fudge and stars. Then again, I'd also love to see them explore their own creativeness:love: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2010 Man, I love that pic of Samus kicking a pirate's face. It shows exactly what I want from this game: variety in combat. Also, this is the first Metroid game where Samus kicks things. Why did it take this long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2010 ok im very interested to see where they are going with this. It seems like a mash between a 2d side scroller and a light gun game. IN that you go into first person but im not sure youll be able to move when your there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2010 If we see nothing of Retro in the near future I fear they may become another Silicon Knights. Retro are fully owned by Nintendo, they're not slipping over to Microsoft just yet... although that said, Nintendo do apparently still own stock in SK.

Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) ok im very interested to see where they are going with this. It seems like a mash between a 2d side scroller and a light gun game. IN that you go into first person but im not sure youll be able to move when your there. it seems to be kinda like how you switch into first person mode in zelda games - once you do so, you can only look around and use weapons but not move. i don't see how you could anyway as you have no analog stick... i think the one thing that concerns me are the controls. you have to hold the wiimote on its side, which means you only have 2 buttons, which are more than likely shoot and jump. that means no diagonal shooting, no running button, no missile button (will probably have to select "-" first). hmm.

Posted February 25, 2010 The controls are a concern. Hopefully they include classic controller support, if its not going to be tied heavily in with motion controls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2010 i really doubt classic controller is going to be supported. Seen as motion will at least be used for the shooting. It seems to open up a lot of puzzles with the switching of views, rather like super paper mario actually. I'm sure even though it's team ninja there will still be challenging puzzles.

Posted February 25, 2010 You're probably right, but its not like you can't use analog sticks for aiming. At any rate, a nun-chuck based control scheme would even be better from what we've heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
