GameDaily: Metroid: Other M Preview

GameDaily writes: "Metroid: Other M looks impressive. Nintendo announced a surprise June 27th release date, and also let us experience the newest chapter in the company's beloved franchise. Team Ninja, from Ninja Gaiden fame, has done fine work on Samus Aran's latest adventure, recapturing the nostalgia from the classic 2-D efforts while adding some first-person shooting elements from Retro Studios' Metroid Prime series."

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

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.

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3488d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese488d ago

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

Vits487d 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".

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

If i could only pick one I'd go with super metroid.

Best (for me) would be the first Metroid Prime. It was simply amazing the first time i played it. so deep and challenging while also turning the series completely into something that felt new and fresh.

Worst (for me) is most likely Other M. I can appreciate what they were trying to go for but it just felt flat and played out.

Looking at the rest of the list, I never played Federation Force but i have played the rest. Pinball is still one of my favorites to play now and then.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee733d ago

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

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