For decades, Samus Aran has been known as one of the first female
protagonists in video games and one of the most enigmatic. Having
traded her haunted past for the solitary life of a bounty hunter, Samus
finally tells her own tale in this revealing, personal story of her
failings, her flaws and ultimately her motivation. Metroid: Other M is
a dramatic new direction for a legendary franchise and a bold new blend
between cinematics, storytelling and the best in interactive
entertainment.
Metroid: Other M takes the best elements of 1st-person and 3rd-person
gaming to create a seamless blend between gameplay, story-telling and
dynamic cinematography, that feels like a movie the player can
control.Players hold the Wii Remote controller sideways while
navigating and battling in 3rd-person. However, at any moment, players
can switch immediately to Wii Remote pointer controls to examine and
explore the environments in 1st-person perspective.
Metroid fans know more about Samus suits and weapons than they do about
what drives her. Thats about to change. The story begins immediately
following the events of Super Metroid, when a baby Metroid gave its
life to protect Samus. With voice acting and a rich story, players
learn the engaging back-story of Samus as she weaves through an
action-packed adventure aboard the Bottle Ship, a decommissioned space
facility. As she hurtles into this new adventure, Samus will encounter
her first mentor and Commanding Officer of the Galactic Federation,
Adam Malkovich.
The development of Metroid: Other M is an exciting collaboration
between Nintendos Yoshio Sakamoto and Team Ninja. Sakamoto was the
director of Super Metroid in 1994. Team Ninja is the renowned action
developer of Ninja Gaiden. Metroid: Other M pairs Sakamotos expert
level design and exploratory focus of the classic Metroid series with
Team Ninjas signature stylish, no-holds-barred action.
