Metroid: Other M announced - Page 7

Action is epic, graphics looks superb (let alone for a Wii game), Samus is hot, and Mother Brain looks awesome. Team Ninja needs to be congratulated.

any one can fill me in please, i need to understand some things:


a) this game will use both nunchuck and wi remote, or plain old wii mote.

b) will be compatible with the GC/CC controller?

c) its non linear or its linear.

d) expected duration?

e) difficulty level?

a.) Wiimote only. 2.5 D action takes place with NES-style Wiimote sideways, like the original. When you point the Wiimote at the screen, you switch to first person where you can look around and shoot missiles.

b.) The control scheme above renders that pointless.

c.) More story driven than classic metroid, but should contain your typical exploration and backtracking.

d.) No clue.

e.) No clue.

so they took the original metroid idea, mixed it with some prime gamepaly and ended up with this collage?!, i really was hoping for a GC/CC option sicne its uncormfortable to use the wii mote to play, when in sideways move.

Oh Maaan! I was so close to seeing something awesome. Tell me someone recorded it before it was taken off, I really am looking forward to this game.

That's pretty much what the fourth installment of a video game series usually offers you.

Um, what?

Metroid
Metroid II Return of Samus
Super Metroid
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Prime
Metroid Zero Mission
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Metroid/Metroid Zero Mission
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime: Hunters
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Metroid II Return of Samus
Super Metroid
Metroid Fusion

Regardless of whether you count MPP and MPT and whether you look at them in release order or chronologically regarding the story, this isn't the fourth installment in any shape or form? Unless you're going chronologically while completely writing the Prime games out of it, which still makes little sense of how it would impact the gameplay.

Edit: Unless you're mistaken in thinking that this is part of the Prime Trilogy which is isn't.

I was referring to the new generation Metroid video games which came to light at the arrival of Prime.

I had assumed Other M was in this particular array(though certainly not the "Trilogy", since I know what this word means).

I do not like her voice at all.
