This is garbage and unacceptable. im a big nintendo fan, but you can't do shit like this and expect loyal consumers to swallow this

Yes, when your wii comes back in the mail, it will have a series of patches sewn onto the outer casing. If you send them an SD card, it can be sewn into the lining of your pants upon arrival.
Game, patched-- Nintendo style.

Seems to me like it would be a far better solution to say make a free App you could DL for your Wii through say the built in Ninendo store. That would auto patch corrupt metroid game files.
Or are they needlessly complicating the process so people will opt to just live with it and start a new game?

Not everyone has the ability to download the glitch but everybody has the abliltu to screw up their game.

What? Nintendo is taking something that is incredibly simple and making it overly complicated? I am shocked and totally didn't expect that!(sarcasm)
And this is why patching is seen as standard this gen on consoles!
C'mon nintendo!?
Hopefully the 3ds can patch games at least so MAJOR game breaking bugs like this as well as the smaller ones can be fixed for a more polished game!

I thought patches were still possible though? I'm sure some patching has occured over Wi-Fi. Maybe thats just my mind playing with me.
Nintendo HAS to fix this with their next system. Heck, even if it was subscribtion based! Anything is better than nothing.

Stick your save in an envelope and mail it to Nintendo, but make sure you have an empty slot in your party otherwise your game could be wiped.
@Bakewell I get that, so offer both. You get the app out there thats probably going to cover 80% of their issues and mailing in your memory card (which I could argue not everyone has) covers the rest.
But they aren't going to offer this mail fix forever and in general its needlessly complicated.

Well, this is just as good as the "You want these glitches fixed? Buy the next expansion" garbage Bethesda pulled with Fallout 3. Actually, I think that's still worse.
At least there is a solution, though. I never hit the glitch. Plus I'm sure some will eventually just throw it up online after they get it anyway.

Can they fix the glitch that causes some robotic woman to talk pointless nonsense through half the game?
Wow. That sucks... The glitch and the handling of it. I'm sure glad this glitch didn't interfere with my progress. I would have been pissed. Didn't a similar glitch thing happen in the Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands?
Also, just another reason for the haters to hate. Oh, great.

I had this game breaking glitch happen to me the day after release. I had to start the whole damn thing over. I still enjoyed the game alright, but I was pretty crushed that this type of thing just can't be fixed through a different method.
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! I quit playing this game because I couldn't find any way to advance, and I thought I was fucking crazy! You mean to tell me the whole time it was a fucking BUG!? I hate you Nintendo/Ninja Theory. Just for that, I'm breaking my copy of Metroid: Other M as soon as I get home. Fuck that in the goat ass.
Team Ninja produced Other M
Ninja Theory is Producing enslaved.
Is it that easy to get them mixed up, people?

Okay, okay. Caught my breath...

Sooooo glad my love for anything nintenbo has died inside me like my Squeenix love did with FFX-2 and all the other crap they started trying to pull. As Rad said, unacceptable and I'm going to keep laughing about this for a good, long time.

wouldn't happen if Nintendo wasn't trying to push on a pull door aka trying to keep people "safe" on their console.
So because someone doesn't like Nintendo... a game bug becomes so funny that pretending to be laughing hysterically (I sure hope he's pretending) is needed.
Nintendo was doing you a favor by making game breaking glitches in Other M... the game is garbage and you shouldn't waste your time playing it anyhow! Thank you Nintendo! ;)
I actually happen to work in Nintendo's Customer Service department and I can totally understand where you guys are coming from. I think we should have a download available as well as the ability to have something physical sent in. I think the physical option is a necessity only due to the fact that 80% of the people that own a Wii don't even know that it can go online. Granted the people playing OtherM are probably a bit more "in the know", but it's always been Nintendo's stance to cater to the lowest common denominator. It's unfortunate, but Grandma really appreciates it.
Rage all you want, but Nintendo rarely lets these kind of bugs slip by. They seem to adhere to the philosophy of getting their games as bug-free as possible before launch, instead of the old "we'll patch it later" crutch that has taken the console market by storm.
What will be even more suck is that this only fixes the saved file(s) and not the actual game. (I think).
@Matimal: Thanks for the comment. And I certainly don't condemn Nintendo for making available the opportunity for people to send their saves in. Hell, any time a company offers options that protect their entire customer base is great. Like you, I'm only lamenting that they don't have a more convenient option of any sort.
@glandseck: Agreed. Nintendo really is one of the best publishers when it comes to quality assurance. But when things go wrong -- as they have with Metroid: Other M -- and you can't provide a convenient means to fix the problem when your competition has been doing so for years, that's a serious issue.

Benefits of consoles being able to patch FAAAAAAAAAR out weigh the very very minor downsides.
Its a feature that is basically standard on consoles and can be expected in the next nintendo home console for sure!
And trust me, while nintendo games are generally bug free for the most part, 3rd party's on the Wii are the exact opposite regardless of the Wii's lack of patching, so throw that whole "we'll patch it later" mentality out because it still happens on the Wii even without being able to patch it later, end result is same bugs but no fixes (the conduit, nuff said!) :(

Ok, Nintendo, i get you're not fully into this online thing yet, but there are limits to things, ya know?

Many reasons they wouldn't do that, for one (and the biggest one) the game is what needs to be patched not the Wii system.
On a side note we should know rich new info on the 3ds in the next 24 hours, man I'm sooooo stoked!!!

At least there trying to help. What about dead rising 1s small text issue. and that game was on the big and powerfull 360.
I, for entirely selfish, work related reasons, agree that the next Nintendo console (hopefully 3ds!) should have the ability to update games. I also believe that some reasoning behind certain areas that Nintendo might be lacking in could really be chalked up to the fact that this is the first time they have ventured into nearly any feature that you see in something like the Wii. Even down to something as simple as a full sized dvd. Though I still marvel at the fact that Nintendo has a console that can download classic titles to it, surf the web and stream Netflix! On a personal note: I can't fucking wait to get my hands on a 3ds! For training purposes of course.. :)
