Metroid: Other M (Hands-On)

My God... I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!! Ohhh, Samus...

Is the transition from 2d to 3d to same as paper mario?

Set before the Prime series? But the Prime series is set before Super Metroid. I think this game takes place just before Fusion.

Anyways the control scheme seems pretty good, can't wait for this game.

this game will rule!!!

Yeah, the Prime series is before Super Metroid so this game is after the Prime series too.

Yea from what ive read its set between Metroid 3 (Super Metroid on the SNES) and Metroid IV (Fusion on the GBA)

Should I buy the game?

I have never played any Metroid game. Ever.

I love NSMBWii but didn't like Mario Galaxy.

I never made it out of the tutorial for Splinter Cell Double Agent. (Just couldn't figure out where to go, what to do, or how to do it.

Fire Emblem and NSMBWii are my favourite games. Pokemon, Advance Wars, retro games like Dig Dug, Galaga are what I like to play.

Should I spend $60 on this game?

One thing I noticed was that it says the developers are Team Ninja, when really Team Ninja are only working on the graphics and CGI.

The developer is Nintendo's Metroid team, the bunch who worked on Super and Fusion.
And yes, it's set after Super Metroid, before Fusion.
Timeline goes:
Metroid - Prime series - Metroid II - Super - Other M - Fusion

Yeah, you should, it doesn't matter if haven't played any other Meroid games. This games is probably going sum up what's happened in the other games so far.
Plus it's a 2D side scroller with 3D parts in it so the learning curve won't be that hard. It's going to play similar to a retro game so yeah I recommend it.

I'm abit sceptical with the whole talking thing. Been such a long time with a non-talking Samus. But I guess change is needed to go further with the series.
Maybe it's also be the opening for other mute protagonists to start yapping.

The game looks awesome atleast!

Also, my part about the development duties is sourced from an interview with Sakamoto and Hayashi last year, so it's correct...

Oh what a year to be a videogamer. Between all the releases for Wii, DS and PS3 this year it will be the NES era of excitement for me all over again.

Yeah, my bad on the timeline error. I'm not that hot on my virtual histories...

Who cares about the timeline, seriously?

The game looks great and I'm looking forward to try it.

You know, I was excited for this at first, then I cooled. But I am VERY excited now. This looks really, really good and a whole lot of fun.

yes if you like any battle games like call of duty dis is a good game
