I'm PG, I'm 22 years old, a Boston-area gamer. I like video games. These are some of my favorites (and if you dislike them, you're wrong):

Zelda A Link to the Past
Zelda Majora's Mask
Team Fortress 2
Persona 3
Super Mario World
Super Mario Bros 3
Stepmania
Chrono Trigger

Check out my deviantART, I do videogame stuff from time to time. But mostly I'm working on getting a graphic novel published.

1UP Interview with Metroid staff reveals that Other M will pretty much be the best game ever [/ChadHyperbole]

Things to note:

-This is a full on collaboration. It's not Nintendo handing off their franchise to another company; the Metroid staff are working on this to make sure it's going to be a true Metroid game (so hopefully we won't hear Dyson complain about how this isn't a Metroid game :D). The staff is making sure there's plenty of exploration to balance out the action.

-As the trailer suggests, there's more focus on the Metroid lore; Adam's in the trailer, so we're going to see what happened to him prior to Fusion. The other solder we see is one of his solders as well.

-This takes place between Super Metroid and Fusion.

-The other female at the end of the trailer isn't Samus.

The staff seems to be really enthusiastic about the title, and I'm really eager to see what they come up with. Here's wishing them the best!

I already knew this game was pretty much the best thing to ever happen after three times watching the trailer, but thanks for the extra cold sweats! Now if you'll excuse me, i'll be off to watch the trailer another three times then promptly attempt in extreme ways to forget everything I just saw, in order to null my unwavering anticipation for this game. Good day.

/end E3 hyperbole..

Looks very sexy to me! I am more excited for this than I am for anything else coming out for Wii right now!

ProperlyParanoid

Thanks for the info! Man, I get more excited about this game every second.

Technophile

I'm going to go ahead and pimp your blog in our Metroid: Other M thread in the forums. :D

I am so glad to hear that the Metroid staff is so involved. That was my hunch, but confirmation is nice.

Phoenix Gamma

Much love, Technophile :D

This is gonna own more than anything that has ever owned.

Yeah, I want this. I was gonna say "how can it take place between Super and Fusion?" but of course there has to be time for spoilery events that occur in Fusion to be set into motion!

Though everyone wants a post-Fusion game even despite this. I'm pretty sure the fact that Samus will never again be able to have her standard Power Suit is going to be a big factor.

Phoenix Gamma

That, and I'm not sure if the Federation really wants her back after the stunt she pulled at the end of Fusion :P

Jordan Devore

I'm cautiously optimistic.

OK, I was a HUUUUGEEE fan of Metroid fusion (beat that game about... 20 times? probably more, really), so I'm already getting hyped up for this game. Hopefully it'll actually be just as good (if not better, anyway).

@Phoenix Gamma: Easily. Ever since Fusion, people said the next game would be the Federation actually hunting her down. Which...would be a nice genre change (like Metal Gear Samus in Zero Mission) but I dunno if it fits with the story. I mean, the Metroids are gone, the X are gone, the Chozo are gone. What next, Space Pirates?

And then they'll reveal that the Federation was working with Mother Brain ALL ALONG. :(

I want them to take their time with the post-Fusion game because that was the first one with a story that actually mattered (at least in terms of games, and then Prime doesn't necessarily count as it's a self-contained trilogy).

And then they'll reveal that all the crap that happened post-Prime was caused BY Prime! AGH.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for this game but why didn't they make it a new ip? I mean if it is more of a third person action adventure game, something not really covered by nintendo, then why stick Metroid on it? Is that series like the lab rat for testing new ideas (FPS on the ds, going from a sidescroller to an FPS)? I just want a new fucking ip w/iconic characters not any wii sports/music/fit/kamasutra casual trash.

CreamyGoodness7

Nvm I should click links before I speak there is a pic of samus looking at some crazy lava behemoth thing from her visor. So the game we'll be in first person some of the time as well.

SWE3tMadness

Thanks for the link to the interview. I'm so hyped for this game right now I can hardly stand it. :D

Passionate Styos

Oh boy, now I really need to get a Wii after all.

MatCD

Yes, this is exactly what I needed to know. Sounds like the dream game I didn't even know I wanted.

Replace the Reverse Wind Technique with the Morph Ball and I'm good to go.
