Metroid Other M

I think that looks pretty sweet. While I enjoy the Prime series, I greatly prefer the 2D Metroid games. Heck I bought a gameboy player for my gamecube just so I could play Zero Mission and Fusion on a screen that doesn't suck. (It really is amazing how much detail is in a gameboy game that you otherwise don't see on an actual gameboy screen.) So a 2Dish style Wii Metroid game being made by Team Ninja sounds awesome to me. This looks exactly like what a newer console Metroid game should have been in the first place.

Honestly, I think this is probably a good move for Metroid, given how arcadey they are. Though I enjoyed the Prime games, they seemed a little strange. Metroid Prime was one of the most immersive games I had played at the time. Samus would look at her feet when she was coming down from a jump, there were all the visor effects like fogging and reflections, if you had X-ray vision on you could see her hand movements which triggered weapons changes etc. But this immersion was paired with stuff which was so obviously 'gamey', like a huge number of the puzzles. It was a little strange.

Looking up while it was raining and seeing the rain drops hitting the visor was fucking AWESOME the first time I saw it. And the way the visor slightly distorted everything, was totally rad. I played it in a dark room at night, with the only light coming from the TV, and I got claustrophobia.

Although it's been stated that Metroid's control scheme works fine (by Yatzhee no less), I'm usually aprehensive of 3D action games without a mouse driven interface. Still, playing Metroid is, in my eyes, a reason to get the Wii, and this game might be another reason to add to the list.

Also, they're apparently going to re-release Prime 3... packaged with Wii versions of Primes 1 and 2.

Yeah, but I already have Prime 3. I hear Primes 1 and 2 are pretty good, but I'm on game rations at the moment.

Well think of it in this way: They finally remake of MP1&2 for the Wii. Oh, and as an added bonus you get an extra copy of MP3 for free.

Oh man. Learning disabled AND caring about comedy writers! It's the double threat!

Was that comment really necessary?

Wooops! Sorry for that Stark, apparently the irony went right over your head! I'll aim better next time.
