GameSpy: Metroid: Other M Roundtable

GameSpy writes: "After Nintendo's announcement that Team Ninja would be creating a brand-new Metroid game for the Wii, we were dying to hear more, yet the company went silent. Luckily, Nintendo finally unveiled the cryptically-named Metroid: Other M at an exclusive event this week in San Francisco, and our intrepid team of spies was there to infiltrate and gather intel."

its like nintendo is returning to its 2d roots
awesome

EvilTwin5926d ago

Except that the game isn't really 2D...just as it isn't totally like your usual 3D game, either.

Destructoid's hands on:
"Other M doesn't simply play along a 2D plane, as the early trailer suggested. While there are some areas that feel like standard 2D action and platforming, Other M's camera and depth of navigation actually change depending on the situation and the area, some of which will allow you to move around in a in fully three-dimensional space."

Wired goes a little further:
"Other M is a more traditional game, but not entirely: It incorporates some first-person elements, but is largely played in third-person 3-D. The levels don’t keep you locked to a 2-D plane of movement as in previous games — you can always walk in four directions wherever you are."

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds1219d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman691219d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees31219d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese1219d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits1218d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee1464d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

H91464d ago

I mean it was a killer

Terry_B1464d ago

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.

2D Metroid Retrospective: Bring on the Remakes

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."

Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.

INMATEofARKHAM1683d ago

I just want them all in the Switch.
