  • I think a lot people didn't like this game because they had their own image of Samus from the past games. I was actually relieved that she had her own humanistic character instead of something that could be portrayed as a symbol of feminism or "men-hating ice queen" stereo-type. It's a pity I think, just like in the game where Samus mentions her trouble with the possibility of being seen weak for being a woman, even in real life some fans tend to force their own gender assumption to her.

  • If only the story didn't utterly suck

  • @pbkillstrike I think it tried to reach territories that Nintendo doesn't usually cross in video games. While I agree it was flawed and I can only assume there were story elements lost in translation, I wouldn't agree that the story utterly sucked, but I guess I'm the minority in that sense.

  • @DcalebX It's a matter of opinion really. I felt like the alot of the emotion in the story was most definitely lost in translation (mostly the VAs' faults) but even things lost in translation can't completely ruin a narrative. Everything was quite shallow and extremely linear, something that the metroid series prided itself on NOT having. Gameplay was very fun but watered down due to the whole restriction system.

  • @pbkillstrike I'd have to agree. You have very valid points.

  • that was bad ass!!!!!

  • Ridley looks...evil as ever.

  • they should re-use the music track as the theme song for Metroid Wii U. I can picture it fitting on the title screen perfectly.

  • F***ing BadAss

  • I find this easy to fap to!

    Anyone know who the actress is, by the way?

  • now see, this just makes me want to see a Metroid Movie

  • i only wish this game was half as good as this add

  • @lukasmezadj I actually think this is the best Metroid game so far :) Although, I am starting to wonder how many times she can wipe the metroids out, just for someone else to bring them back, that has happened in too many games already.

  • @lukasmezadj God you hater really love to exaggerate, Metroid Other M is way better then this commercial I played it myself.

  • @MrMetroid1998 Do you reply to everyone expressing a negative reaction to this game?

  • Stop yelling! :D

  • Oh Samus dear, make sure you don't do what I say until I give you permission.

    That's a good girl, be sure to remain obedient and I may even give you a nice little treat.

    Who's a good little bitch, hmm? =D

    Sarcasm above btw. The atrocious 'MoM' game was a disgrace to both Samus and women in general. Fuck everyone who worked on it and I hope they burn alive for it.

  • @jcdenton2k Oh for the love of God you haters are crazy, Adam treated Samus Aran in this game the same way he treated all the members of his squad whom by the way are all male, and shes a bounty hunter not a vilantage like batman, she has to follow orders if she wants to get paid, there is nothing and I mean nothing against women about Metorid Other M theres not a da@# Sexist thing about it. Your just P@#Eoff because Samus Aran has emotions and isn't Boba Fett with b##bobbs.

  • @MrMetroid1998:

    Now this is a bit hilarious. Wish I could link like in the old YouTube days, but instead you can Google for several more lengthy arguments both for and against this game by people who are able to provide proof (from the game) to support their arguments and negate others.

    We can at least agree that this game can probably be considered the 'Black Sheep' of Metroid games, loved by some, hated by many.

    Extra Credits did a very nice analysis, I suggest you go watch it.

  • @jcdenton2k Correction its loved by most hated by many.

  • @MrMetroid1998:

    This is one of those 'love it or hate it' polarizing games in a series.

    Zelda 2, Castlevania 2, SMB 2, and other games have similarly followed this path of the 'black sheep' in a series.

    I read a bit more in reviews and most of them seem to have mixed feelings about the game. There are many reviews that completely ignore the unintuitive and confusing in-game controls and awkward game mechanics. There are also many reviews from obvious fans of the series.

  • @MrMetroid1998:

    Be that as it may, I still feel this was a rushed job that deserved a lot more playtesting and analysis from people outside the development team so they could've avoided the backlash they got from this. You can look it up yourself, but there was such a backlash to how this game was done that they are hesitant to ever repeat the same mistakes again.

  • @MrMetroid1998:

    Self-censoring is hilarious. Are you 10? :P

    The failure of other M has nothing to do with her being 'Boba Fett with tits' and mostly to do with several factors like badly-done game mechanics (the unlock system), poorly-written cutscenes and dialogue (making Samus a submissive bitch, pretty much), and much more.

    Only a female in the military can speak about military procedure, but all I can say is that I highly doubt they let em almost get killed before helping.

  • @MrMetroid1998:

    Anytime Samus isn't in her Power Armor, the cutscenes and camera angles do nothing but gawk over her body (a LOT) and you can even make your own 'fanservice angle' count and start losing track easily before you even get halfway through the game.

    If you completely ignore the absolutely atrocious voice acting (contender for worst voice actress in the history of gaming, easily) and other failures, you realize how badly things were done. Samus deserved better.

  • great trailer-not so great game

  • Ah yes, the game that turned Samus into a annoying blonde bitch who suddenly pisses herself after fighting Ridley for the fifth time.

  • @Gamewitzer Samus may have been a bit annoying in the game, but she did not physically cower infront of RIdley she only had a flash back of herself as a child confronting Ridley.

  • @MrMetroid1998 Maybe. But honestly? Who wants the see the badass Samus Aran pissing herself in fear? Why in that game and not before? She fought him chronological the fifth time in that game so why the sudden angst? I never wanted to see her like that.

  • @Gamewitzer I guess it's showing a kind of ptsd from her childhood. While I can see why you'd feel that way, I thought it was kind of refreshing to see a video game that had very human qualities on a character.

  • I can't believe that they managed to sexualize Samus more on the trailer than they even did in the game. Who knew that was POSSIBLE?!

  • couldn't it just be A MOVIE!?!?!?

  • that past ridley hmm looks little more better then the others

  • hey thats my birthday!

  • Voice acting: Terrible

    Trailer: Awesome

    Actual game: Incredibly ****

  • @Epiczz115 incredibly what

  • Such a good commercial...

    for a shitty game..

  • Kinda reminds me of Yvonne Strahovski.

  • the girl is january jones

  • Samus looks pretty hot >:D

  • ehh.. well, I love metroid prime, and change is good, i just miss the old 1st person shooter type.

  • amazing commercial for such a letdown metroid, they give a better story but sacrifice what make metroid so great, the exploration and freedom

  • you like the dialogue? i like the GIRRRL!!! i want to fuck her... o damnit, going to see porn! damn!

  • I like this game :) love the dialogue :)

  • I wish other m didn't conveniently ignore the chozo

  • @KoreanShrimp The reason for this is because they wanted to focus on Samus's beginnings with the Galactic Federation, rather than another story involving the Chozo. That said, it would be neat if you could play an origin Metroid game where Samus trains among them.

  • @icarus212001 But the fact they completely ignored them was frustrating. They didn't even get a mention.

  • @KoreanShrimp I suppose, but how would they do it without it feeling forced in?

  • @icarus212001 Mention it off-hand somehow. It felt like it wasn't even in her flashbacks at all or when she talked about stuff... It was very much like an alternate reality where she didn't live with the Chozo.

  • @KoreanShrimp duh its because the whole series is an autobiography of catastrophic events

  • @darkly41 Yes, maybe, but at the same time it also made no sense for her to flip out like she did at seeing Ridley. I mean, it would have had the game been set PRE-Super Metroid (ignoring the Prime series), or even Pre-METROID, but she's already fought Ridley twice now. The game felt really all over the place, storywise. I did enjoy the gameplay, design and music though. I also liked the voice for Samus.

  • @KoreanShrimp explanation for that is ud be surprised to see him come bak too after he supposedly died via a planetary explosion i bet she thought he was immortal bc he didnt even have a scratch on him and shes like wtf

  • @KoreanShrimp explanation for that is ud be surprised to see him come bak too after he supposedly died via a planetary explosion i bet she thought he was immortal bc he didnt even have a scratch on him and shes like wtf she had no idea of knowing it was ridley bc the molds didnt look like him

  • @darkly41 There's a difference between being surprised and having a meltdown like she did. She had already "killed him" twice before. I'd think if she were to have a surprised meltdown due to thinking he was dead, that would have happened after he died once. And I think she had an idea it was Ridley after it turned purple and tried to kill her. It just seems weird for a hardened bounty hunter like her to have that meltdown like she did.

  • @KoreanShrimp well shes a girl on top of that too

  • @darkly41 ... so?

  • @KoreanShrimp the thing is bak then we werent sooooo stingy with what was in a game and we r now.... very.... hell bak then we didnt mind it if we didnt have save files... now all we care about it graphics and all that junk

  • Metroid film anyone?

  • I didn't like other m to much. I think my favorite FPA metroid game is prime 1, then 2, then 3. All metroid games, it's like this.

    Fusion,prime 1, super metroid, prime 2, original metroid, ,prime 3, other m, zero mission, then metroid 2,return of samus. Haven't played hunters yet, so I don't know how it rates.

  • @buttermen1 hunters is quite legit. but i agree compleatly that fusion was the best

  • Comment removed

  • Ugh, makes me embarrassed to love Metroid games!

  • I prefer the 3d version of Samus. I know, I have no life.

  • Whether or not you like the game... You gotta admit. This is freaking awesome.

  • @dividebyzero100 I did not appreciate Metroid other M's story and samus' personality in this game (the gameplay was pretty good though), but ill agree, this commercial is SO FUCKING AWESOME :D

  • @WalkingWithStrang3rs I agree with you

  • I can't wait until metroid goes HD on the Wii U

  • @RainbowDashRoad

    Um.... I dunno if that's gonna happen.....

  • @Epiczz115 They already announced it

  • Does anyone know the name of the song?

  • Comment removed

  • gave me chills

  • name of the actress please.

  • watch?v=tOUri3fqp4g

    Remake of the song in this trailer

  • This was a beautiful trailer. It's too bad Samus' character was ruined in the actual game. Still, beautiful trailer.

  • @TheTopDeckHero If you like FPS:ers then Metroid Prime might be a very nice change of pace. It's not really a first person shooter (even though it most certainly looks like one). It has a, in my opinion deeper experience to it and most people call it a "First person adventure"-game. You could however wait for the Wii U (which will be released in a year) and save money for that. It will be fully backwards compatible with the Wii so you can play all those Metroid-games on the Wii U. Just saying =)

  • @TheTopDeckHero Metroid Prime 3 is amazing. Personally I prefer Other M. But it might be since I had played Metroid Prime 1 and 2 just before Prime 3 so I might have been a bit tired of that kind of game. However, if you can get your hands on Metroid Prime: Trilogy (all three prime games with Wii-controls on one disc). So far, Metroid has yet to disappoint me. I first played a game from the series two years ago (Prime) and fell instantly in love with the franchise.

  • @TheTopDeckHero Yeah, you hold it sideways for regular combat and point at the screen to enter first person mode where you can't move, but you can shoot missiles and search for hidden items and such in that mode. The controls actually work really well. I recommend the game for most people who haven't played a Metroid-game before. It's a bit short, but it's also quite cheap nowadays and well worth the money. :)

  • @TheTopDeckHero Wait, what? Your avatar is Samus but you haven't played Metroid? :)

  • @TheTopDeckHero Hmmm... can't really say I agree. Even though the plot was nice there are a few things that I wouldn't want in a Metroid-movie. Sure, the game is really cinematic and all, but I would've enjoyed a movie about her first bounty-hunter mission and starting the movie from when she was really young and her parents got killed by Ridley. She gets raised by the chozo and all that. I think it could work for a movie. Scarlett Johansson would, IMO, do a great Samus.

  • @TheTopDeckHero I'd love that too. But only if it was in good hands. I don't want no Uwe Boll ruining my Metroid-universe. I do think Metroid-has potential to be a great, but quite dark, video-game movie.

  • Just lovin the music.

  • @TheTopDeckHero I see my comment has left you with little to say, excuse me while I stroke my ego

  • I remember when I saw this trailer in the movie theater. I seriously yelled of excitement! "The're gonna make a movie!OMGOMGOMG" But then it was a game...

  • This Ad is so awesome, I now remeber why I was so excited for this, unfortunately the game sucks.

  • @torpedofin isn't that a quindence I was let down by all the negative reviews Metroid Other M got but when I finaly played it for myself, it actually turned out to be a pretty damn fun game to play.

  • P.S: Kid samus looks like an asshole :P

  • Is it a coincidence the Halo 3 Trailer is seriously similar to this?

  • Best video game ever!

  • This is a very incredible trailer. It even shows the scenes where Ridley nearly killed Samus when she was only 4, as well as the explosion that killed her father. (Ridley killed her mother only a few seconds prior to turning his attention to Samus).

  • The trailer was better than the game, now before I get all of the standard inflammatory comments (I'm looking at you Mr Metroid) the game was well designed, its the story I have a problem with...

  • I don't understand Nintendo's campaign here. This is the second to newest game in the Metroid timeline. It happens directly before Fusion. Why are they saying it's her past? Prime was her past!

  • @Leishmaniasisably The game reveals many secrets about Samus' past. THAT's what they are referring to.

  • dude do you know how awesome it would be if they FINALLY did a sequel to fusion i mean got that game like the 3rd day it came out and i was like dude the sequel to this game will kick major ass then the stupid prime trilogy came out and i was like wtf when is the sequel to fusion gonna come out

  • Who is the actress? because she was pretty hot!!

  • so other M is after super metroid...good! now i hope some day (not too far away) we get to play the game that happens right before metroid fusion

  • SUPERB!!!

  • Baby Metroid!!!! I miss u <3

  • Gimme dat.

  • DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMM

  • Better story then the game.

  • @Annihilator27 You're not authorized to understand how non deep and linear the game is!

  • @whichDude Lmfao

  • Beginning of this looks like the Reach live action trailer.

  • YES SUPER METROID 3 REFERENCE!! BY FAR THE BEST METROID EVER (however i wil give credit metroif prime was quite good!)

  • Samus Samus Samus 

  • bad graphics

  • One thing I learned from Other M: apparently, Samus's chozo suit gives her Kratos-like super strength to headlock monsters and throw and kick them across the room?

  • @Sanguiluna It's more thanks to her Chozo-enhanced ADN, but yeah

  • Metroid Other M sucks

  • @cooldude8912 fuck you troll

  • @HaydenMyers So you assume i am a troll because i am stating my opinion? thats so fucking sad

  • @HaydenMyers Fuck you asshole dont write gay on my profile im allowed to have an opinion just because i have a different opinion than you doesnt mean you need to cry like a bitch

  • Samus is fine as hell...

    Who is the actress ?

  • Samus <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • Great commercial

  • I WANT A MOVIE

  • Samus shouldn't talk...

  • @JoshuaNDao But she just did?

  • Okay Nintendo, where's the movie now?

  • it be awesome they put metriod other m on 360

  • @xxdjclix995xx nope not awesome

  • @xxdjclix995xx you mean if they do it for the wii U. which is likely. (wii u owns.)

  • @xxdjclix995xx Why? The wii u comes out next year. It wont be long before we get an HD Metroid. Also, no way in hell is metroid leaving nintendo. Thats like putting mario on ps3.

  • @mast3rsword64 HD Metroid might be ready in 2013(late 2013)

    but they have a quick one for the 3DS.

  • @mast3rsword64 you never know they put perfect dark on 360 am metriod fan and nintendo fan too. but if they put on 360 and nintendo let microsoft  put metriod on 360 it will be a problem

  • @xxdjclix995xx Actually now that I think about it, I dont care what console metroid is on. As long as the gameplay remains the same and is still made by nintendo. If sonic survived leaving sega, I dont see why metroid or zelda wouldnt (Allthough thats extremely unlikely because they have strictly been nintendo for over 20 years). I dont see them giving up one of their best franchises.

  • @xxdjclix995xx yup...it will add online, and make the story short as hell O_O lets hope that never happens.

  • @xxdjclix995xx Nintendo didn't own Perfect Dark, Rare did. Metroid is owned by Nintendo, so the only way it could be on 360 is if the Wii U completely fails and Nintendo goes 3rd party like Sega.

  • @Charmolution It looks to me like the space pirate ship that was in Zero Mission.

  • Metroid will always be. My favourite game.

  • I fucking hate this game. I love the trailer though. :]

  • I still haven't found the original song, but there's a nice fan-made track you can find by searching:

    What's Past is Prologue Harmony of a Hunter

    It's also downloadable on the Shinesparks website.

  • "In the vast universe, the history of humanity is but a flash of light from a lone star. The life of a single person should be lost in space and time. But among the stars, there is one light that burns brighter than all others." - Samus Aran

  • This game is one of my all time favorites, please make more in this style graphics!

  • 0:20

    Is that supposed to be the Space Frigate Orpheon?

  • 0:00 0:35 Wii U Gráficos

  • awesome commercial for an awesome game. If you don't like it, go play xbox.

  • she's a character in a game!!! stop saying she needs boobs!!!

  • @TheDuke568 boobs or GTFO

    

  • Cool commercial.

    But sadly, it failed to warn player that Samus would be turned into a glum functionary pining for her old boss :(

  • I cant wait for an HD metroid game on the wii u. Though I hope it goes back to either the prime style of gameplay, or a full 2D game thats a sequel to fusion.

  • The closest thing we will get to a Metroid movie....

  • @KDadnil

    Probably for the best. I imagine Hollywood wouldn't do as good as this commercial does...

  • I like how this commercial captures scenes from metroid 2 and super metroid.

  • "I hate Metroid Other M... it has too many plot HERPDERP"

    I'm sorry, but that's how I see people that disliked this game =/

  • @Fefs92 The plot was never the issue. The game just doesn't feel fun. The autoaiming bullets, the jumping~ the complete lack of exploration and wonky progression. I just found it disappointing. I found every single other Metroid, including Super and even Prime more engaging. Metroid Prime 1-3 for all its wonkiness, is still~ a Metroid title. With exploration, expansion and growth. You can tell a story, that's fine~ I'm fine with that, but keep it a Metroid game. Other M was not.

  • @Fefs92 Don't diss it till you play it.

  • What is the name of that song?

  • @Gilc3tv

    There isn't one. The music is unique to the commercial.

    Though there are a couple of good remixes on Youtube called Past is Prologue.

  • Hell yeah!

  • If that's what a live-action Metroid movie would look like, I'd totally go see it.

  • People who dislike this game can go play Shadowgate64 for 60 hours.

  • Booby Fett!

  • 2030 youtube user: The graphics suck!

  • what is the song o name the sountrack???

  • I wish this was a movie!!! it would be great if it was done well!!!!

  • metroid zero mission THE MOVIE please!!!!!

  • The actress in this is perfect as Samus. Problem is, if they make a Metroid movie, I'm worried it'll wind up like Tomb Raider if not done correctly- good games, god awful movie. Making movies from games is delicate business.

  • Old Bird: Samus, poor child, u need another haircut right now!

    Kid Samus haircut is, well ya know...

  • The first time I saw this, I thinked it was like a movie of metroid. When It ended, I screamed so loudly that my cat jumped very high. But it's a good thing that a manga inspired the game (O.O)

  • It's just a song that they made for the TV add it really has no name, sorry

  • It's been nearly a year now and still nobody knows, but I must ask once more.

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHAT IS THE SONG?

  • @asianskunk5 Watch /watch?v=4Rak4ceDYAg and you may find your answer.

  • Samas quotes Shakespeare! "What's past is prologue" is from The Tempest.

  • @CranGrapeish Samus*

  • I wish they could make some EPIC metroid game that was like "The final Chapter" With all the powerups from all games :P

  • Comment removed

  • @catraloky 24 people don't like the ruining of a perfectly good character with this horrific game.
