Metroid: Other M art folio demands frames photo

On August 31, Nintendo's collaboration with Team Ninja, Metroid: Other M, hits store shelves. Our copy arrived today, and you can expect our review on Friday, August 27, so keep an eye out. 

In the meantime, I wanted to give you guys a look at the limited edition "art folio" that will be given to folks who pre-order the game. Nintendo sent one -- a set of 16 art cards -- along, and it's a nice little collectible freebie for Metroid fans. The cards feature Other M concept art work, screenshots, and descriptive blurbs (as if I written by Metroid heroine Samus herself) on the back.

I know there's some hesitation over Metroid: Other M, which is bit of a new direction for the series. Who here is already planning it up, or will you be waiting for the reviews?

I want this sooo much, but the $20 gift card on Amazon means more to me.

Sucks that it's a Gamestop exclusive.

Normally, I would wait for reviews o come in when there's so many things to be excited and concerned about in such a game.However, I couldn't resist passing up the $20 gift pre-order deals. Despite the significant changes made in Other M, I still have faith in Nintendo's ability to deliver on a good game especially when its coming from high quality franchise like Metroid.
Besides, Nintendo was wise enough to prevent Team Ninja from going all horndog on Samus by not to giving her boobie implants. Besides, if she had such large knockers, how would she be able to go into morph ball mode ?



I look forward to the release of Metroid: Other M and Destructoid's review.

Already pre-ordered in full. There's just too much potential between Ninty and Team Ninja and the Metroid franchise to not jump in.

If it's a gamestop exclusive, why did destructoid get it with their review copy? I ordered mine on amazon as well as some of you guys on here ($20 credit for buying this game is too good to pass up)...and if dtoid got the art book with their review copy, I'd think we could possible be getting one too.....unless dtoid is getting their review copy from gamestop....which I highly doubt.....

It's Metroid. I don't look at reviews for this series. I am extremely worried on how Team Ninja could have possibly altered Samus in a bad way, but I cannot say no to this series.

I would totally jump on this if A) we had a Wii and B) if it wasn't $50. I may have to see how much the folios are going for on eBay (or, hope beyond hope, that you guys give some away).

I pre-ordered Metroid Prime Trilogy, in hopes of getting a promised T-Shirt. The store got ONE, and ONLY ONE.

From that point on, I haven't pre-ordered a game since. I'm mulling over whether or not I should for DKC Returns, considering that it comes out Thanksgiving Week.....

They better have enough at my ebgames. Sometimes they say they didnt recieve pre order bonus, the only time they recieved a lot of things was the mass effect 2 launch.

I pre-ordered specifically to get the Portfolio! In the age of DLC bonuses, I'm so glad Nintendo continues to roll out the amazing pre order stuff in TANGIBLE OBJECT form! As an artist myself, I highly appreciate any chance to look at original art in print. These suckers will definitely be getting put on display.

Yeah, I don't really keep up on reviews for Metroid. I preordered this one a couple months ago. I'm practically climbing the walls right now in anticipation as it is.
