Now the “M” in “Other M” Stands for “Maybe It’ll Be Awesome After All”
I think we can get back to rejoicing. Because there’s a new trailer of the Team Ninja-developed Metroid: Other M game, and instead of some girl staring wistfully out a window for five straight minutes, it actually has Samus, in her armor, shooting the shit out of everything she doesn’t physically beat the shit out of. I know a lot of people love the FPS Metroid games, but I would think that this — partially a 3-D adventure game, partially a 2-D action game, with the ability to switch to a first person mode by altering the Wii-mote — is even better, right?
