Metroid: Other M Is Looking Significantly More Metroid-y
Every time I post anything about a Wii game, I get accused of badmouthing the Wii (possibly because every time I post anything about a Wii game, I badmouth the Wii). So rather than say anything negative, I offer this video from Gametrailers of some of the actual action in Metroid: Other M. There’s fighting and dodging and most importantly, lots of new/old beams and classic Samus tech. There’s also some phenomenally stupid captions from the GT Pop-Block crew, but I’m trying to stay positive here. So… I guess they didn’t confuse James Cameron and Paul Verhoeven this morning. That makes them one up on me.
