Other M’s is not the worst game Nintendo has ever put out, but it certainly did not deserve as much critical praise as it received.
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty coming soon, it's time to look back at the developer's greatest triumphs...and one oddball favorite.
Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime reflects on Metroid: Other M and his initial high hopes for the game.
Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."
Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.
I actually like this game. The only thing that really bothered me was the parts of the game where you had to focus on a small area to continue the cutscene. There were times where I knew where to look but the game can be a stickler and if you don't hit it just right the scene won't start. Other than that I loved the combat and didn't mind Samus being emotional. That seemed to rub a lot people the wrong way.
One of my favorite games! Definitely as good as F.E.A.R. single player, Sword of Mana, Golden Sun or Metroid: Fusion.
