Other than knowing it's a thing, details of Nintendo and Team Ninja's collabrotive effort to bring Samus back into 2D space in Metroid: Other M are slim. In the current issue of Famitsu, a one-page interview with Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto didn't reveal much in the way of new information but the legendary creator did say the upcoming game will focus on Samus Aran's "human side."

The complete Metroid: Other M experience is being produced by three teams: Nintendo will continuously peek over the shoulder of Team Ninja (presumably to ensure very few bouncy-bikini shots appear in the final game) while D-Rockets will handle the title's movie sequences. The computer-generated movie sequences in Metroid: Other M are one of the methods Sakamoto says players will learn more about Samus Aran's emotional side. "She's a strong woman, but she also has a fragile side. We want to make a game whose charms can be felt from the story areas and these human touches as well," he said.

Before you begin to cringe, Sakamoto clarified that he's well aware of the core of the Metroid franchise. "It's an action game, but it's capable of having a clear emotional side." Emotionality that you can view, after the break. Metroid: Other M is excepted to hit the Wii later this year.

Oh wow, I can't believe it took this long to get a thread up. :lol

Though I don't care for the Metroid universe, this game looks really cool.
 
Re: Metroid: Other M Thread

this game is what i have been waiting for in a long time... a game about Samus' past, present and hopefully her future

Indeed.

Though I haven't been a big supporter of Metroid (Rented the games, never bought a single title) I think I might end up getting this one... mostly because my Movie Gallery closed, but still. xD
 
Re: Metroid: Other M Thread

Um, so, this is word of a 2D metroid?

If it follows in the footsteps of Super Metroid or any of the so-called Castloid games, it'll be a win!

It's more like a Ninja Gaiden 3D of Metroid action I would say.

I don't like the short hair. What happened to her ponytail? Is it because it's a prequel?

I think you're right, since this is is loosely based on the "Other M" character which was described in Fusion.
 
Re: Metroid: Other M Thread. June 27th in North America

I'm impressed. The screenshots look like they go back to the original NES instruction manual for inspiration!

As far as I can tell, this is a 3rd person adventure, not quite 2D, but sections of it look like they'd take to 2D controls, but switching to first person perspective is also an option! That is an AWESOME combination!

agreed.... though to be completely honest.. this drastic change in style has me a little bit worried....
 
Re: Metroid: Other M Thread. June 27th in North America

I'm interested in this Metroid. This is being developed by
Tecmo, correct?

I thought Tecmo hated Nintendo? It would be interesting to see how this game turns out.

Why is Nintendo giving these projects out? Are they trying to gain other major developer support?

BV :hat
