Topic: NEW Metroid: Other M

[Abodos]

Good gravy, of all the announcements from E3, this announcement was probably the most surprising of them all:

Finally, Nintendo is paying some well-deserved attention to one of its most hardcore franchises!!

[Profbeanburrito]

Wow, I didn't think we'd get more Metroid for a few years, but it is always a welcome surprise!

[Oralox]

WoW!
Im impressed.
Samus can talk and kick a lot more ass!

[Xain]

i was literally floored when this came up. this game is a first day buy no mater what.

[Aridale]

Team NINJA? Omg... Its gonna be fuckin Ninja Gaiden with Samus. Be ungodly hard for no reason other than bein ungodly hard and not really a stand out game. Nothin in that trailer made me feel the need for this game. Samus did look good tho

[Clara E. Leet]

Holy shit  o_o

I'm twitching with excitement right now.

This game WILL be bought.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Yeah it's totally bought.
Day 1 purchase.
Also, I'm almost certain the M is for "Malkovich".

This is like "Metroid: The Federation Years" or something, haha.

GIGANTIC SMILE!

PURE JOY! I've been telling people for years that Metroid was meant to be a 3rd Person 3D game (not FPS slowpoke style), and finally--finally--it happens!!! (Prime series wasn't bad, but it limited the move set of Samus--who is naturally acrobatic). As long as there's the classic exploration mixed in, this is the Wii 'system-seller' for me. Wow. BEST OF SHOW. Most excitement I've felt for a long time, and I am not easily excited these days.

[Alutwon]

SOOOO BADASS

[A n t r a x x]

Yeah this helped ease the pain of no Zelda showing.

I'm very excited to see the DASH BOOTS return!

(You can see Samus charging through ice walls at high speed at one point in the video)

Also it looks like this will be a much more "hollywood style" presentation complete with several flashbacks into Samus upbringing under the Chozo and even perhaps the loss of her real family. There appears to be a lot more secondary characters with alot of importance to the plot in this too.

But, I wonder what the hell the title means, and I hope it gets changed.

[Dark Nemesis]

Best news i've heard for this year!!!! I'm so happy!!!!

[crisis]

Headbutt!

[Abodos]

Man, I wish they'd given more than just this 2 minute trailer. We can only guess what this Other M will be like, and considering that trailers tend to only show the most intense sequences of action, the trailer can't be used as a complete guide to what the whole game will actually be like.

One interesting thing, though, was that blond lady in the lab coat near the end, more specifically the repressed surprise she seemed to have when Samus identified herself.  Could she possibly be a clone? a Samus from another dimension or alternate timeline? a relative? maybe even an SA-X? or just some random woman who happens to look an awful lot like Samus?

[A n t r a x x]

She's the "Other M" I'm sure

Might even be a long lost sister or mother or something.
