Lovely new Metroid: Other M official website up photo

Just like all other game teaser website launches, this new Japanese site for Metroid: Other M gives you little in the way of new information. But it's certainly peaceful to look at, with its pretty sunset and beautiful piano music. Some woman is looking over a city with her hand up.

In the beginning of the Flash animation, roughly tranaslated, the voice says:

Dream -- It's like seeing the playback of a disaster that really happened.

I don't know if that tells you anything, but it seems really sad. Combined with the sad music, it's kind of a downer. No worries. I'm still excited about the game, which is now confirmed for a summer release in Japan. I expect we'll see it later this year here in the US. I can't wait to see what Tecmo has done.

Between this and S&P2, I'm going to be forced to ignore my 360 and PS3 for at least a month.

I'm still calling it Ninja Gaiden Samus, though.

But what do the words in the bottom right mean? Is that a release date(Like it looks like?)

The way I see it, they're trying to reach the japanese gamer with this kinda of mood. Metroid was never a big seller there, so maybe they're trying different tactics.

Can't wait for the game.

Beautiful.

If the games lives up to this teaser, we can expect something pretty epic.

Wow... I'm a pretty big fan of the prime series... But this site made me realize just how badly I want this game and it doesn't even DO anything!

Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of Samus back story in this game. Color me excited!

Is this going to be the story of the destruction of Zebes? It'd be nice to see how Samus' became the determined bounty hunter.

This seems to be going in a different direction from the other metroid games. From what i've seen it is going to be third person and there were more characters in the trailer. The NES, SNES, MP1 and 2 and the gameboy titles involved Samus fighting alone but MP3 seemed like a change of direction with voice acting and the other m seems to involve more people and perhaps a city, although the city may be abandoned from the disaster.

The teaser definetely seems like it's trying to pull in more Japanese gamers.

Which is in no way a bad thing.

metroid is the only game in nintendos big three that isnt afraid to change it up with pretty much every game. while zelda and mario are both fun they really are just the same game with prettier graphics each time (with the exception of 1 or 2 games in both series) metroid seems like its always changing, at least to me it does. this is because its more story driven than both mario and zelda.

all that to say- "

Based on the picture, I'd guess that's Samus.

Based on the quote, I'd guess she's talking about the whatever incident got Malkovich killed. I'm hoping that they'll [fully] adapt the two-volume manga/comic into Other M's story, since I kinda like it, and like hell we'll be seeing it localized as-is. If you wanna read it, though, it's been flly fan-translated (OK, not all the onomatopoeias have been translated, but no big). You can read it here, among other places, likely.

@Tvirusgetz: You're an idiot. Metroid has NEVER EVER been about the story. You play Metroid to explore and shoot aliens.
