After being an avid follower of the Metroid Prime series and loving the hell out of the 2D Metroids, Other M initially put me off as it did many people. For some unexplained reason, I'm now fucking pumped about it coming out and will try to buy it day 1 of release if I can't pre-order in time. Newest trailer:
I loved all the 2D Metroids, then I played Metroid Prime. And hated it. The fps-ish direction was a big turn off for me, didn't like it at all. So for me Other M is what Metroid Prime should have been. really excited by it, but sadly I won't get to play it because i no longer have my Wii after i sold it in the year one game-drought. But i'm sure it'll rock
I'm totally stoked for Other M. It looks great! I agree with Endless, I really prefer the 2D Metroid games. I also liked the Prime ones though. They were just different kinds of games. The 2D had more emphasis on exploration, I think. The 3D ones still did a good job of it, but I still think the 2D ones did it better, just in the way they connected each room to the ones around them. As for combat though, I think Prime did it better. Most of the bosses were really interesting and unique, and felt a lot like Zelda bosses. The 2D ones always felt a little clunky in the combat area. I think the tactic most people had to go with in the 2D ones was just get as much super missiles as you can and just let 'em fly! hahahaha In this way, I think Other M looks like the best of both worlds, and Team Ninja is involved, so how can you go wrong? Wait, don't answer that. I don't want to know.
Samus is hotter than Lara. Sadly I think Nintendo's last good system was the N64 as such unless someone else buys it I probably won't be playing it. Also am I the only one that liked the 3D ones more than the 2D ones!? Also Team Ninja means it's going to be sexy!
