1up: Samus Aran, the central figure in Metroid: Other M, is a stoic, independent bounty hunter -- well, she calls herself a stoic, independent bounty hunter, anyway. Her latest adventure turns the unshakable warrior into a vulnerable young woman looking for direction and acceptance from male authority figures. In the hands of a great writer, this is the kind of character evolution that could work; but wrapped in a heavy-handed, meandering sci-fi tale, it just feels disingenuous.
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.
Although, the article's pic was a bit misleading :P
B- isn't a good score for a metroid game at all.
Disappointing
B-. Wow that's unexpected. I expected at least A. B- means it's barely below average.....aww...I'm sad now.
Samus is the adopted "daughter" of an elite/protoss like alien race, right? She doesnt need acceptance from other people since she's above them. She had a "baby" that she only cared about and that was the baby Metroid that protected her from Mother Brain.
i like the letter rating ten times better than the number rating. i look at it like grade school . B- is like good job keep up the good work you almost got it
