And relax. The news is good. Metroid: Other M is full of sparkling promise. Panic officially over. Since it was revealed at E3 last year, the world has been wondering (and worrying) about what shape Samus' new adventure will actually take.
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty coming soon, it's time to look back at the developer's greatest triumphs...and one oddball favorite.
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.
originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.
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".
Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime reflects on Metroid: Other M and his initial high hopes for the game.
Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.
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.
Can't wait. :)
This is my most anticipated game of the year (yes, even over Zelda...as we know nothing about LoZ).
But c'mon, how many times are people going to call this game 2D?
Sakamoto-san has given plenty of interviews since this game's unveiling, and in pretty much all of them he's given the reason for collaborating with Team Ninja -- he wanted help making a 3D action game.

It's a 3D game. You can always move around in any direction (no restriction to a 2D plane, thus not making it 2.5D, either). Just watch the gameplay trailer.

In certain places, the camera angles suggest old school Metroid, but that doesn't make the game 2D. Heck, just look at the pic used for this story. If the game were 2D, Samus could only move left to right where she is currently located, instead of being able to move all around that room (and probably use the morph ball to go up that shaft).
