Metroid: Other M Impressions

I got the game two days ago. It rocks!!! I got to this part with a moving stream -- the water effects are unbelievable! :D

Sounds awesome and I can't wait to try it. I have every game in the series.

is see a 8.5 in the future

Potential game of the year right here, folks. Can't wait to play this one.

cant wait

I haven't finished the metroid prime saga and i just one to buy this one, i love metroid and this new game and gameplay will make feel great playing it, i was wanting something new and i found it with this

Have my copy reserved. I actually decided to pick up Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and start playing it from the beginning. I got stuck on it and put it down for a year, but I am having a blast with it now! Man the Prime series was excellent, but I think it was time for it to end. I really hope Other M does a great job of mixing new and old Metroid elements as well as bringing a fresh experience to the table. And I want my Metroid to be lonely, eerie, and depressing.

entropyecho, Nintendo would sue them (as well as I would) :D

Metroid Other M has been the most anticipated game for Wii since it was announced in E3 09, still two months xP

dahaoleboY96, Look at The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword.

Samus's boobs got bigger NICE!

Most anticipated game of the year on Nintendo Wii, for me. I'm stoked.

The metroid prime series explored new routes, new sensations of freedom, and tight controls, but I hope metroid: other m returns to the roots of super metroid. I not entirely over excited about the first person action (if I wanted to, I would go replay metroid prime), but the trailers reveal some extremely serene environments and old school controls that seem promising

@baklinermr That updated super Metroid you were talking about, it's called Metroid: Zero Mission for the GBA. I suggest you pick it up and enjoy.

I am excited about this game. How funny would it be if Team Ninja took a cue from the Dead or Alive series and made a Metroid Xtreme Beach Volleyball game with Samus in a bathing suit?

samus rules

Looking really sexy Nintendo ;]

i am cyced about this game but i think that when you the first person mode and fact that you cant move will probably hurt the game a bit but im really looking foreword to this game

the wi is here too stay folks*********

@guyguygut1234 I got a strategy guide for the Metroid Prime Trilogy, It's so much better so you don't get lost. or if you stop playing for a while for some reason you will remember where you are and where u left off. It's a way better experience if you have directions, it really helps. Give it a try with the guide, don't miss out on some of the most atmospheric games you'll ever play.

THE ONLY WII GAME I'M INTERESTED IN RIGHT NOW

@guyguyguy1234 I agree with what you said about Metroid Prime. I had plenty of fun with it and MP2, but I always had the feeling like I was forgetting something or leaving something behind, and if I played without a guide, I always wondered if I was on the right track. I'm looking forward to a slightly more linear experience.

@ TrinityChica14 - Luigi's Mansion is one of my favorites. If nintendo made a new one, I might just be happy forever.

Playing Metroid Prime was like running through a mirror maze in the dark. It was a ton of fun, but you arent entirely sure what you are doing, and find it too difficult sometimes. Hopefully this will be more like the platformers, where its a bit more linear..

Metroid Other Ms graphics are smooth and clean.

Getting a Wii console for a 2nd ride...This game is the reason, and SMG2 plus Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom give it extra support to my wish. Now I have to get the money!! Where are you green fellas? lol!

Samus is my favorite videogame Heroine, finally I can see her While I'm playing ^^ thanks good for the 3rd person view =)

I love Metroid series and this still seems like a big adventure. I want to play it but I'm not sure enough it will rise to the Prime series height :?

xbox users cant get there hands on this can they

This year is too cool... :D Go nintendo you beast of a Game company.

I think they need to offer an updated sidescrolling version in the vein of Super Metroid, much as they have with the whole New Super Mario thing. That would really rock.

I dont mind trying this game, when it comes out.

video games consist of two parts: audio and visual. audio is supplemental, but can greatly enhance or detract from a game. the visual part of a video game is inherently an artform: it IS art. but how can an artist whose medium is constantly changing keep his style the same? it's impossible, and quite useless, too. so cherish the old, but look FORWARD to the new!

I hope its gonna be good, i just wish that they would have shown better videos of it at E3.

Obviously, that comment was aimed at rexona2412, not myself. Jesus, I gotta stop posting so many comments. I'm starting to f**k everything up...

@DrEvilKoala I understand your concern, because I admit that I'm a little nervous as well. But I just hold on to the thought that Nintendo won't disrespect one of it's most beloved franchises.

@DrEvilKoala (how do i tag people) yea ofc it won't be the same, but there is something with those flashy colors in general that takes away the feeling which all metroid games have had...

@rexona2412 Of course Other M isn't looking like Metroid Prime. It's not part of the series. It's called Metroid: Other M, not Metroid Prime: Other M. As good as the Prime series was, people thought a first-person Metroid game was unthinkable, but now the series is synonymous to first person to a lot of people. You just got to have some faith in Nintendo ;) (Although I do agree with you on the new Zelda. Don't know what to make of that...)

i am really disappointed in nintendo's E3 so far, i don't know why but for some reason they have managed to remove all the epicness from their classics, i.e. metroid prime and zelda... mario is perhaps the only franchise that has "survived" the change to motion control... other m is no where near metroid prime, nor is the new zelda anything like wind waker, not to mention ocarina of time...

Too bad they couldn't release the game this summer...oh well, looks like I'll have to play it next year considering the fact I'm at college when it's released.

@etai79 I kind of liked the scanning element of the Prime series, except in Prime 2. It made everything look muddy in the scan visor, as opposed to nice little icons in the first one.

Another game to look forward to this year

I didn't see any scanning going on, which is good, because that gimmick ruined the Prime series. All I saw was the highlighting of objects.

now all we need is a Luigi's Mansion and we have just about all the old franchise games back!

This latest trailer, was the most Metroid like this game has looked. This game is suppose to be coming out like now lol, sucks we have to wait until August now.

I hope this one brings the Metroid name to a whole new level.

I can't wait for this. It will be awesomeness.

This looks like it could be the best metroid yet, and that's really saying something for this franchise...

It's taken this long for first impressions? Talk about secrecy.

Too late, Mega_Loser. I doubt you will be able to find it anywhere. Even if you try to get a used disc, it will be from a private seller. Selling it for $70 + shipping.
