I honestly don't like the Other M's box art either, the U.S. one.

The drawing is good but...I don't think it looks that good, IMO. I think it's that drawing of the short-haired Samus that doesn't look that great.

But who cares, really. I just want the game.

 

[Solune]

Oh you.

Also, it's safe to say that Nintendo maintained one series tradition with this game: hideous box arts. Will they ever get that right? (in NA/Europe, at least)

I don't know I think Super Metroid is perfect, MP2: Echoes was cool even though the game was subpar.

 

[_Alkaline_]

MP2: Echoes was cool even though the game was subpar.

:/

 

[Koodo]

... MP2: Echoes [boxart] was cool even though the game was subpar.

This is, like, exactly the reverse of what I feel.

Well, except I think Echoes (the game) is not cool but instead spectacular, inspiring, life-changing, etc.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

I've seen people not like NSMBW after playing multiplayer.

I die a little inside each time.

It is as close to multiplayer Nirvana as I've had the chance to experience. And it's a badass game single-player style as well. It's floaty, but with that many people it helps.

God I want to play it right now.

I loved Galaxy. It's a beautiful, very involved platformer that does some really fun stuff with gravity, but I met the game I didn't know I'd always wanted in NSMBW. A game designed around a decidely retro style.

I just hope they continue to pull off the NES games with Wii or above (3DS) visuals.

Surprised this hasn't leaked yet. Well done Nintendo. =D

Still, cannot wait for September 2nd. Soooo close but so far.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

This, the heart attack post and all your other hints =

So what you're saying is you think the post-game bonus will be Mike Nelson and his robot pals coming out and riffing the cut-scenes. 'Cause that would be awesome.
Roll Fizzlebeef.

Someone's already started a playthrough on youtube.

Ani loves Klonoa, that makes him good people.

Yeah, it's good to have sympathy for people who like bad games.

He printed up the box art and stuck it in a white case to drive you all crazy.

(I am going to have to remember to do this next time)

Can't let you play that Star Fox.

Review copy. Too bad I'm occupied all day, but I'll report back with some impressions later.

 

[Luigiv]

And because it just wouldn't be complete without it.

 

[Gravijah]

people need to quote star fox 1 more often, it's such a better game

 

[Luigiv]

But StarFox 1 doesn't have silly voice acting.

Certainly has a better soundtrack too.

The lines in Lylat just aren't as catchy as they are in English.

Oath.

 

[Tathanen]

So anyone who doesn't like Other M is a jaded pseudo-fan who hates videogames?

Naw, anyone is welcome to not like it if it like... sucks. If there is something wrong with it, even if it's just not their cup of tea! But it's a little obnoxious to not like a game just because it doesn't adhere to a list of "requirements for enjoyment." I was just commenting in response to the silly notion that if you were a "Metroid Fan" you'd dislike this game. With that kind of logic, a "Mario Fan" would hate Galaxy because it's not even remotely like Mario 3.

Anyway, dudes and dudettes, if you just want to know whether it's good or not, I think I already said that. My opinion in general hasn't changed much since I beat it (and then double-beat it), it went up a little in some spots, went down a little in some spots, probably averaged out to the same. Namely: do like, is good. Fun game is fun. Especially for people who liked the setpieces in previous games.

Doesn't even need to be said, really.

You'd be surprised.

Can I still dress up like Wonder Woman?

WTF is he doing in my game?

 

[shahkur]

So, seen quite a few TV ads for this here in the UK, each time making me even more psyched.

@Foxhimself:

You lucky B******.

 

[Wario64]

Apparently this game is on a dual layer DVD. Is this the 3rd Wii game on a DL disc?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Apparently this game is on a dual layer DVD. Is this the 3rd Wii game on a DL disc?

Yes, but Samurai Warriors 3 is on dual layer too, so Metroid is the fourth game.

 

[Boney]

you guys are crazy

 

[Gravijah]

you guys are crazy

Game over, you lose.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Since no one answered I'm gonna dress up like Wonder Woman.

 

[Boney]

[farnham]

Yes, but Samurai Warriors 3 is on dual layer too, so Metroid is the fourth game.

what is the second one ?

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Cats a snappy dresser.

 

[_Alkaline_]

what is the second one ?

Trilogy.

Brawl was the first.

And oh, whoever said Klonoa is a bad game, revoke his gaming license please.

Nintendo titles always have high expectations and fans tend to be critical if there is a change to the series. Retro left an indelible mark for some but, like everything, it's time to move on. There are some qualities which make a game distinctly Metroid and I don't think they've been lost, they also use the first person mode as reference to the Prime series. I think it's been mentioned before, this appears to be Metroid Fusion in 3D and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Other M is different, in how it plays and emphasis on story telling, but still has a familiarity to it.

Never wing damage!

 

[Diffense]

Complete early gameplay up to to the bug boss thingy.
Not for blackout people but I've seen sections of everything here before so it was nice to see it all tied together in sequence.

BTW, the music is definitely film music more than videogame music.
It's atmospheric, swelling, moody and ambient but seldom melodic.
That's not a complaint, because I see how it will work really well for the game's tone.

 

[SpokkX]

About the music. It seems it plays in the background at VERY low volume.

You people that have played the game, is it possible to crank up only the music volume in the options independenty of the sound effects?
