Metroid fans, young and old have many opinions on Metroid: Other M. Some some like it, some have been on the fence, yet others have practically boycotted the game entirely! Many have decided not to even attempt it. US Retailer Best Buy has given us all the opportunity to purchase the game at an extreme discount and give it another shot. The Best Buy web site lists the normal retail at $49.99, but ...
– The upcoming game Dead or Alive Dimensions pays homage to Metroid: Other M with a Ridley boss fight stage and a cameo by everyone’s favorite bounty hunter (video in link). I wonder if Samus will be authorized to enter the fray herself. Or keep her clothes on. It’s a DoA game, after all. ( Joystiq ) – New details emerge regarding the 3DS’s built-in utility apps, such...
The game released yesterday. Did you play it? If so, what do you think? Is Infendo on crack? Was Mark on to something in his mixed review? More importantly, where do you think this game will rank in the annals of Metroid history? Top of the food chain, middle manager, or bottom feeder? Speak up!
By popular demand, I beat Metroid Other M this weekend. Did completing the game change my “meh” opinion? No. As rated in my original review, Metroid: Other M is an average game at best, made worse by limiting controls and a pathetic story. As a result, I believe Other M will go down as a top contender for “weakest Metroid ever.” That said, I did learn some things from ̶...

Along with resident fan-man Jack, I’ve been skeptical of Other M’s heavy use on cut scenes. After all, Metroid has always been about isolated gameplay’not dialog. Nevertheless, I’m excited to see if developer Team Ninja can smash my suspicions and surprise us all with a great game. And who knows’maybe I’ll be excited enough to bend the rules a little on when I publish my th...
The only way you will ever hear me say that a “movie mode” in Metroid Other M is a “good idea” is if Team Ninja has also installed an option that allows me to play the game without any cutscenes or cheesy voice acting whatsoever. Unbelievable. I mean, really, really unbelievable. An August release date make total sense now. This game is forgotten by Christmas. I’m ang...

We’ll just have to be content with the visuals, and wait for an English version. Our hero’s voice is a little higher pitc...

However, Sean say’s it’s meh and compares it to the American Heavy Rain box art. Thoughts?
Nintendo today delayed Metroid: Other M on Wii from its original June release to Aug 31. I would say bummer, but I’ll still be playing Mario Galaxy 2 and whatnot. Carry on.
