Re: Metroid Other M intro leaked (shakey cam)

I miss the hatchling, it was so awesome. A baby Metroid that thought you were it's mother? What more could Samus ask for >->

So, I'm guessing then this game will take place between Super Metroid & Fusion. Not that I mind, but it would be nice to see how the story continues post Fusion given that Samus is now the most wanted criminal in the Galaxy.

Yeah, a game where the hunter is even more then hunted than before would be interesting to see. They could actually break from formula and go a whole new direction with the series from that point. We have Samus, Adam Malkovich as her onboard AI now that her old hunter ship is gone. There's the other bounty hunters introduced in fusion.

They could make an action game, an RPG or anything from that point. Then again, they did say Metroid Dread is not a dead project, it was just set to the side (wouldn't surprise me if they were saving it for the next DS, in fact I'm betting on it).

If they're going to persist with the prequel stuff, at least do an update to Metroid II. Zero Mission was a fine update and Super Metroid really doesn't need any retouching - people still play that one to this day and its gonna be my first Wii download.

But Metroid II? Very antiquated. Emulation doesn't help matters. Its just very outdated, but its story and its different approach to the exploration is pretty cool. And it was pretty scary for a Game Boy game, you could run of missiles fighting those things. They were damn ugly, nightmarish looking things too.

Yes, this was confirmed quite some time ago. According to a friend of mine, the impressions from the Nintendo Media Summit is that the game is "gonna touch on her beginnings as a Galactic Federation officer, so we may see the manga come to life." I'd still rather see a sequel to Fusion, but this could be interesting.

I also second the motion for a Metroid II remake. It needed it even more badly than Metroid 1 in my opinion. The monochrome graphics and insanely small resolution made all areas very repetitive and made exploration a real bitch. More screen size + color + better music + mini-map would really enhance that game's enjoyability.

Metroid 2 was amazing, fighting them all at their different stages of the metroid life cycle. The Queen would make for one bitching battle too (lordy she was hard to beat in the original)

Plus, the original game was just a nightmare to play due to the size of the gameboy screen. You couldn't see nearly enough of your environment to make the platforming work. I did still manage to beat it, but there were a lot of times where I had absolutely no idea where I was going or even if I was going to land on solid ground.


Also, I heard that apparently Nintendo wants to continue the Prime series, despite previously saying it was going to end with 3. It's not that I mind entirely as the Prime games were superb; But make a god damned sequel to Fusion already! We've been waiting forever and Fusion really took the tension of the story to new heights. Also, Nintendo, here's a thought.

How about a Wii channel for viewing the Metroid Manga? They could probably make an absolute killing off that.

Missed this

There's the other bounty hunters introduced in fusion.

I take it you mean Hunters? I don't recall any bounty hunters being introduced in Fusion.

Also, there's a bit of plot info at Wikitroid. Adam is still alive at the time of the game, so I guess we'll see a lot of character development there. Metroid: Other M - Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki - Metroid: Other M, Metroid Prime 3, Metroid Prime 2, Super Metroid, and more

EDIT: Going over the Metroid Fusion scenes...

Spoilers

Just remembered that Adam wasn't just dead by the time of Fusion, he sacrificed his life so Samus could live. So he's probably going to sacrifice himself at some point in this game.

Re: Metroid Other M intro leaked (shakey cam)

sigh.

the series just aren't as good as they were when the creator of Metroid was still around.

Re: Metroid Other M intro leaked (shakey cam)

1) That's what you always say.
2) Metroid Fusion says otherwise.

Re: Metroid Other M intro leaked (shakey cam)

And the other thing to consider is, Fusion was only the beginning; Who knows what kinds of freaky powers Samus may possibly develop over time thanks to her newfound Metroid DNA? It certainly would rock if she could utilize their vampirism (not really sure what else to call it lol but let's face it the little SOBs are space vampires in jellyfish form o.O) in some form or another.

Or better yet, how about they REALLY go for some epic, BS plot hole like they did in Fusion only take it to the next level with a secret colony of Chozo? At the very least it would be cool to see Samus interacting with them for once.

Yeah, I meant Hunters. They had one of them make an appearance in Corruption, after all.

Also, I think they've done a great job with the series since Gunpei Yokoi passed away. They've managed to maintain a quality for his series I'm sure he could appreciate.

Sakaguchi doesn't do Final fantasy anymore. The intial story of FFXI was the last thing he was a part of before he left. Final Fantasy still seems to be hotly anticipated each time it comes out even without him.

Destructoid - Metroid: Other M trailer is young and naive

New trailer, this one just kinda shows some flashbacks and how she was before the Zero Mission, so looks like we'll be treated to a deeper look into Samus' past for certain.

Ridley killed my mom and dad, alien birdpeople took me in, spliced thier DNA into mine so I could live on thier planet and learn that with great power comes great responsibility. Except she's more like Bruce Wayne than Peter Parker.

Not surprised we're getting more introspective dialog, its all we've seen from Samus so far.

I like whoever they picked for her actress though.

Re: Metroid Other M intro leaked (shakey cam)

I'm just happy she's actually speaking for once. Now if they can just give Link the same treatment >_>


I'd still like to know just how exactly that suit of hers is able to convert her into freaking Energy and back. Or for that matter, how she's even able to think or control it while in said state of energy I mean wtf o. O

There's Sci-Fi and then there's just outright BS.

Samus has had internal monologues before (Super Metroid, Fusion)

Link hasn't. Link can stay in the world of shutting the hell up. Kids couldn't handle it when they made him cel-shaded, I don't wanna hear the weeaboos come out when they give him a voice.

They're already complaining about Samus sounding "plain" or "flat.". I would think presenting one's thoughts that would actually would seem flat, she's not talking to anyone, she's thinking to herself. Reflecting.

In FFX we have young Tidus and then we have an older and wiser Tidus recounting the story. One is presented more calmly, this is not the part of Tidus people complain about. I'll wager Samus sounds a little different when she argues with Malkovich

Don't you start, too. Its been established for a while that the suit does this, all the way back to the originals. It was there in Super Metroid.



The suit is part of Samus

Re: Metroid Other M intro leaked (shakey cam)

They're already complaining about Samus sounding "plain" or "flat" when all we've heard is her thinking to herself.

Technically there's her sound effects in Prime, and her 3 taunts + victory quote in Brawl. Prime, Brawl, and Other M all have different VAs.

But I agree, it's silly.

@Mal: Nobody bats an eyelash when you can beam people in Star Trek or magically teleport in RPGs, but materialize a suit with your mind and you're cheating. Huh.

The fact that her suit is linked to her mind is alluded to in Fusion at the beginning of the game as well; when she was infected by the X parasite, she fell unconscious and it was impossible to remove her suit conventionally; they had to remove the exterior surgically, i.e. with saws and power tools, and even then it's not clear that they managed to strip her completely.

Re: Metroid Other M intro leaked (shakey cam)

Yeah we're not even touching on how Zack and Cloud can haul around the massive buster sword and use it. Its probably heavier than they are.

Hell, if Tifa trips and falls, based on her pre-Advent design, how the hell can she ever stand up again?

They're video game characters, this is why I don't question Samus having s spiritual Sailor Moon connection to her armor. Hell, Samus lives in the same universe as the F-Zero guys, too. She could run into Captain Falcon at some point if they wanted her to and I wouldn't even think too hard about it. In fact I think I saw one of those hovercrafts in the trailer.

Re: Metroid Other M intro leaked (shakey cam)

Slightly off-topic, but according to Wikitroid this is official Super Metroid artwork.



If she's 6'3" with the Power Suit, going by this image she'd be 6'0" without it. Wonder how that'll match up to her Other M model.
