CVG: Metroid: Other M Interview

Metroid Other M, which hit European shelves on Friday, is the latest in one of Nintendo's most love and long running series'. It's only now, however, that fans have really gotten to know who the game's protagonist Samus Aran really is. For the first time fans get to see a more emotional, more vocal side to the female bounty hunter.

With this in mind, CVG headed over to Nintendo to hear what Metroid father Yoshio Sakamoto had to say about what Samus Aran has to say.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3897d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese897d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits896d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee1142d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

I mean it was a killer

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.

2D Metroid Retrospective: Bring on the Remakes

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."

Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.

INMATEofARKHAM1361d ago

I just want them all in the Switch.
