pretty awesome to hear her actually speak, eh? (though I think she had a few lines in Smash Bros.)

qface645179d ago

wow just wow i know i can't believe some so called journalist actually snuck a camera in when they said NO CAMERAS

professional gaming journalism alright

FreeMonk5179d ago

It's a shame that the actual game will not look that good.

All of that intro was CGI, and although the game will most definatly play really well, it's a shame that the graphical engine won't match that CGI intro, due to the lack of Wii processing power.

I'm looking forward to it though.

Smacktard5179d ago

...You know that the CGI cutscenes in every game are of better viisual quality than the actual gameplay, right?

FreeMonk5179d ago

Yep, I know that, but a majority of games on the PS3 and Xbox (Gears of War, God of War, Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy 13, Metal Gear 4), have cut scenes that match the graphically quality of actual game, something that the Wii can't imitate with what Metroid M is showing in that CGI intro.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not cussing the game or the Wii, I own and love all 3 consoles (X360, PS3 & Wii), but I rather have a game show me actual ingame footage for the cutscenes than CGI that doesn't match the ingame graphics.

ChickeyCantor5179d ago

" have cut scenes that match the graphically quality of actual game"

Yeah, is called an INGAME-cutscene.

Brazil5178d ago

I'm a huge Metroid fan but I'm skeptical about Other M. Team Ninja has never made a game I've enjoyed, but the previews seem promising. We shall see.

Absolutely amazing cinematics, great voice work, will be checking more on this.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds473d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69473d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3473d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese473d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits473d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff2183473d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee718d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

Terry_B718d ago

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.

2D Metroid Retrospective: Bring on the Remakes

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.

INMATEofARKHAM937d ago

I just want them all in the Switch.
