Metroid Other M looks to be a changeoff between 2.5D and RPG/Shooter elements. I'm not sure how I feel about this new entry, but it looks like the Morph Ball is back (shocker), among other favorites like the Ice Beam, Missiles (ever the fan favorite; SO VERSATILE), Super Bombs, and the Varia Suit. Overall, few details were revealed about the upcoming addition to the Metroid franchise.



Nick's Update: Metroid: Other M is a blend of intense FPS shooter, action platforming, and a 2D sidescroller. It allows the player to switch between modes by swithcing their Wii Remote. Vertical switches to first person, and horizontal treats the player to a more traditional Metroid view. This change in camera view and gameplay creates intense action set pieces, and allows for creative ways of defeating massive alien bosses. Switching view points also offers a tactical exploration technique, revealing details that would not be seen in other modes.


The game is scheduled for release August 31st of this year.

Here is the latest trailer for Nintendo's upcoming game in the Metroid series. The gameplay looks exciting and fluid, but I still have my problems with the games graphics. I shall withold complete judgement until I play the game though.

Well Nintendo, after two and half years of utter failure, you've finally decided to pull yourself out of the putrid slime that you like to reside in. Okay, that was a little harsh, but this year is looking to be one of Nintendo's better years.









First off we have Super Mario Galaxy 2. Regardless of what you think of the idea of another Mario Galaxy game, this new addition to the super powered plummers saga seems to be filled with polished gameplay and charm. The game features new stages and new gameplay twists, such as the inclusion of the lovable dinosaur Yoshi. Due out for release early this year.

Now the big one, Metroid Other M. Metroid is one of Nintendo's most critically acclaimed and beloved franchises and this new game looks to continue that tradition. With a new indepth story and anime style cut scenes Metroid Other M is a Metroid game like no other. However, the true star of this new Metroid title is the control scheme, which intigrates a seemless switch between 2D sidescrolling, and first person shooting. The game is due out for release June 27th of this year.

The newest title in the critically acclaimed Nintendo series has finally recieved some new information. We now have a release date for summer of this year in Japan, and we now have an official site, which appears to be little more then a title screen.
