With many saying Nintendo won the press war at E3 this year, is up for debate. What isn’t a question is the wave of new video games and gadgets that they released to the public. None other than Nintendo hard-core game Metroid: Other M, which was one of the highlights for Nintendo.
Below is a video of gameplay courtesy of IGN.com via YouTube. Other new features for the Wii shooter include:
•Metroid: Other M takes the best elements of first-person and third-person gaming to create a seamless blend between game play, storytelling and dynamic cinematography. It feels like a movie the player can control. Players hold the Wii Remote™ controller sideways while navigating and battling in third-person. However, at any moment, players can switch immediately to Wii Remote pointer controls to examine and explore the environments in first-person perspective.
•Metroid fans know more about Samus’ suits and weapons than they do about what drives her. That’s about to change. The story begins following the events of Super Metroid™, when a baby Metroid gave its life to protect Samus. With voice acting and a rich story, players learn more about Samus’ past as she weaves through an action-packed adventure aboard the Bottle Ship, a decommissioned space facility. As she hurtles into this new adventure, Samus will encounter her first mentor and Commanding Officer of the Galactic Federation, Adam Malkovich.
•The development of Metroid: Other M is an exciting collaboration between Nintendo’s Yoshio Sakamoto and Team Ninja. Sakamoto was the director of Super Metroid in 1994. Team Ninja is the renowned action developer of Ninja Gaiden. Metroid: Other M pairs Sakamoto’s expert design and exploratory focus of the classic Metroid series with Team Ninja’s signature stylish, no-holds-barred action.
Nintendo’s Metroid: Other M will hit shelves in North America August 31st.
