Team Ninja's 'Metroid: Other M' Announced

Team Ninja, huh? Not Retro Studios anymore? This sort of surprises me considering how well they did Metroid Prime 3. I can't wait to play the first 2 with wii controls this summer in Metroid Prime Trilogy.

Either way, Team Ninja's trailer looks tight.

Since Itagaki is gone I guess there'll be no Ghost Fish in this game.

Instead it'll probably be schools of Metroids latching onto you from offscreen and sucking your energy dry unless you maintain a combo with your vigoorian flail blaster.

Anyone else wish they'd make an old-school side scrolling Metroid with updated graphics? Like this "Shadow Complex" game coming out. I never played the first-person Metroids, only watched some friends play, but they didn't look and feel like Metroid to me at all.

So Samus has new developer team... Team Ninja... The guys who made a flawed Ninja Giaden Sigma.. which i think was probably one of the first, worst, games on the PS3.. but then some like having non dynamic levels.. and a straight run on story.. sure haveing billions of enemies that respond as you wonder back threw the are, being the only difficult part in Ninja Gaiden some may like the whole complexity of old retro game styles placed in new games.. I didn't..

had a great aspect in Ninja Gaiden just not game play.. seems they are goin to layout Metroid Prime a new sort of interface.. taking Samus back to her roots onto how she became a great Bounty Hunter..

With the game has both 3rd person, and First person action.. as Seen in the full article above's video..

The story looks like it will have a lot to do with the very Begining.. Which also they are going to try and step of up the pace of the game instead of it being a mild adventuring first person.. they want to give it a fast action run as seeming like Mirror's edge.. The third person shots make me wonder if that is going to be a extra functionality/ perhaps Samus goes into a attack mode.. and it turns the first person into a third person orientated during quick paced fights..

I been playing the game Metroid since the early first Nintendo came out with it back in the 80s
And i became a new fan back when the GameCube had the title of Metroid: Prime.. i couldn't ever finish Metroid: echos, because i kept getting lost..
Metroid is a game where u would spend a good amount of time adventuring threw giant stages..

Where Metroid prime echoes is a game that actually had me going online to figure out what i had to do next..
Then Metroid Corruption came out that didn't really hold onto its hype as like both those previous two titles that were for the GameCube.. it had a little bit more interface but nothing to radical.. which is why they are going for another key into the gameplay.. it appears anyways.

Oh well im going to keep my eye on this Metroid.. Corruption was a big yawn.. this one appears to play with some intense pace.. which is superb..

Maybe when you finish the game, you can have her walk around in a bikini, play water games and sip on drinks. Then I imagine we'll see a Dead or Alive for the Wii, with a cross-over Samus character, extra jiggly.

;(

I hope they don't get too overt with Samus' backstory. The fact that, at least in the most mainstream Metroid games, she is fairly anonymous and anything you assume about her comes solely out of the specific situations and places you have encountered (/played as) her.

We don't hear about her parents or friends or personal goals, other than what, if you really want to, you can infer for yourself from what you experience in the games -- she's an apparently solemn, strictly business bounty hunter who works alone, taking on things which seem to be so extreme and against-all-odds that you are forced to assume that she's pretty good at her job. You don't even need to go that far with details, though, as Samus's character to me is strong and iconic, but it really does exist only as a nebulous collection of tone, experienced interaction, and maybe a few remembered snippets from the manual. That's all it takes.

The games have done an amazing job of showing instead of telling what Samus is about, where you have a strong sense of her but it still remains nebulous and non-narrative in the way some of the better iconic non-narrative game characters are. I've been amazed that Metroid has so far avoided having a current or previous-gen game which laying down a bunch of overt story through dialog and cutscenes, or whatever, and gums up that sort of ambient existence that Samus' character has.

yeah, trailer looked awesome!!!

Wow, from the Ninja Gaiden dev? This'll be interesting to see.

THIRD PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finaly.

if valve announces gordon freeman's going to speak in ep 3 i'm going on a baby kicking spree

THIS ISN'T A NEW ZELDA

I'd be more excited if Itagaki was involved but we'll see how it goes.

THIS ISN'T YOUR FATHER'S METROID

ooh, this better be good. <3 metroid

the new game looks kind of cool. But the conference was awful, not as bad as 08 though.

As Nintendo did not announce an actual Wii Zelda game, they can all kill themselves. PS3 will now be the only console I will play other than PC games.

This made up for the rest of the conference. Metroid is frelling fantastic - and it'll be even more so now it actually has a proper /story/.

Mind, I think I'm the only person who actually really likes origin stories. Ah well.

VERY DO WANT.

DO WANT! Also, they mentioned "mature" several times while talking about this game. I wonder if it will be M-Rated or just a hard T?

It looked like a mix of 2D and 3D which was kinda cool.

Wonderful. Now please give us another 2-D sidescroller for the DS

starcraft: ghost'd

speech?

They better include subtitles...
