Watch the E3 2009 trailer:
What do you guys think?
Okay. So the name .. I get the reference. For those of you who do not:
So there you have it. The ending of the original Metroid. The “Other M” .. -etroid.
Honestly Nintendo, what has gotten into you? Team Ninja? Are you kidding me?
I get that it is still in development. I get that the graphics may become more polished. But it looks like another CG cartoon style Japanese game. They might as well have called this “Metroid: Final Fantasy”. And with a release date of some time in 2010, they do have a lot of time to polish this thing up, or a lot of time to make it even worse.
So I understand that a lot of people wanted a 3rd person Metroid game. Its a neat idea, given the fact that Metroid started out as a two dimensional side scroller. Does creating a three dimensional, third person game retain the same feeling as the original platformers? I think not. That is just my opinion though. I mean, this may shape up to be a great game. But from the looks of it, and after watching it about thirty times, I can honestly say I am disappointed. This is really not the direction I wanted to see my favorite video game series take.
But that is just my stupid opinion. Tell me what you guys think.
