  • The team who developed Super Metroid needs to develop a new Metroid game for a console (not handheld) preferably for the Wii.

  • @psx2514 Why would they make a new game for the wii?

  • Those who dis Samus' character in this game is clearly missing the point. She had a very rough past, and I'm sure that anyone (Even me) can relate to her. Obviously, you guys just don't understand what it's like to be young with a past that is heck in our world today. What's past isn't a memory, it's prologue. I just want you guys to listen, and find a way to relate to Samus.

  • Madworld, it's underrated.

  • Like you say: this game goes back to the traditional gameplay.

    I didn't like the Prime series because of the gameplay but I love this one.

    And I love the story and the cutscenes very much.

    Metroid is Metroid again for me with this game.

  • kwife really does rock at samus

  • honestly the worst thing about this game seams to be consintraion made, especially add folks like kwing: Space hunter L Kwing is trapped, out of ammo and his sheild are running low. all he must do to recharge them is to Consintrate but that Damn penny is so SHINY

  • @link70181 prime and that because the game companyhas skills ok dude just because you love the oldmetroid doesnt mean anything that is diffrent from it sucks so you should get your facts right and yes it is a fact that prime and cod are totally diffrent games

  • @link70181 i dont like fps i dont play games like that because they re not my kind of games but prime is a awesome game even though i dont play it and that is how you know your a gammer when you can see a good game not because you like it but because it actually is you can compare prime to cll of duty even if it is a fps they are 2 diffrent games and im prettysure everyone that is a metroid player will agree now this is coming from the person who enjoys old school metroid but i still stick up 4

  • This game is hard?

  • @HeroMystic this game re-define hard it is very very hard and thats always a plus in my opinion

  • when i saw the mother brain in the trailers i was fricken siked. i was liked oh shit a remake of super metroid fuck yeah! i hope they keep everything the same!. but that dissapointed me that this was not the case. but none the less the game was amazing. i have to wait for adam to authorize weapons and abilities. so what. it wouldnt have been a challenge if i could use everything. nothing at all bugged me about the gameplay. only thing was the long grouling cutscenes of here past.

  • I primarily agree, but metroid prime trilogy is the longest metroid game :D

  • @ilikeoranges285 because its 3 games he mean like from any individual metroid game

  • @ilikeoranges285 that is where your wrong 3 games cant be the longest game because the word game is singuler and metroid trilogy implys it as more then one game soooooo how can three difrent games in one cd be the longest single game im sorry dude but your theroy has flaws i mean come on its just common sense

  • also im hoping that the formula of other m is in the next metroid game it is simlpy awesome see kwing tells it like it is also it mostly has positive reviews

  • @link70181 prime WAS about exploration you dumb ass. the fact you even compare it to that piece of shit call of duty makes you a fucking dumb ass

  • i love this game so much!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish nintendo would keep this formula for the metroid games although i would prefer the nunchuck and dodging with a bottun and moving the analog stick to the direction i want to dodge to but the level design in this game works great with the d-pad but if they would use the nunchuck they would have more freedom in the level design also i think concetentrating should be removed and enemeis should drop health and missles overall a fantastic game

  • I loved this game. It's definitely different from other Metroid games, but if I wanted to play the same game over again, I'd replay Super Metroid. Which I do. A lot.

  • WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!? Longest play through? what are you thinking man, ive played all metroid games, ALL. and this is one of the shortest. Man, the items where easy to find too. Among the limited soundtrack, the poor replay factor, and the exclusion of any reward for hard mode, AND the two glitches from the door to the credits, much of the game needed a bit of revising. Over all, enjoyed it, until Ninja Hype up a Tourian battle, that never made its appearance, then I dreaded till the end.

  • this is for peope that nitpick and troll this game:

    i Find it weird that yoU nitpiCK at a game that You barely knOw anything aboUt!

  • @mkocja5a i used to hate the idea oF other m and sinse i dont own a wii i coUldNt try it for my self. Not dure any more: i think ill watch a few lets plaYs of it before i make a descision.

  • It makes a lot of sense that the doors don't open by shooting, the facility you are in is a scientist facility, and the scientists won't want to have to carry a gun around to open doors!

  • i love this game coz it is really sad and i am glad it is more about samus than anything

  • i have just watched the Cutcenes of the Game (got no Wii) and i have to say :this is epic

  • I love super metroid, the prime series and this one.

    It really isnt that bad, but yeah, its very different from prime and goes more towards super metroid.

  • The cut scene with Ridley did bug me when I refer back to Samus' encounters with the space pirate in the Prime series. Then there's the glitch and everything you mentioned.

    Overall, it's an amazing game and a great entry to the series. Hopefully sometime in the future, Team Ninja and Nintendo will team up again for another Metroid game that fixes the errors of this one and is even more mind blowing. With the Wii U on the horizon, this series in HD graphics would be awesome.

  • hi kwing how are you? hope you doing well. i have never played a metroid game before and i want to buy one so i watched a lot of reviews for this game and for metroid prime trilogy so i was hoping you could tell me which game should i buy in your opinion? btw i love you videos and reviews they are really really good :)

  • Comment removed

  • how can u say this is the longest metroid game ever? thats crazy talk, prime 1 an 2 were easily more longer an allot more satisfying!! i like other m but the control scheme is wat drives me crazy! they shud have a alternate mode so you can use the nunchuck or use a classic controller,its frustrating,an the music aswell it wasnt bad but its just that all the other metroid games had some of the most catchy melodies ever! hell i listen to sum of em even now,but it only has music for theAction parts

  • That complain about that doors won't open if you shoot them was pointless. I know it's original element in Metroid series, but doors still open after all by running towards it.

  • Dude, Prime and Echoes are way longer; and Corruption is probably also a tad longer.

  • I definitely like that your positive about metroid other m.

  • "I'm not going to nitpick"

    30 seconds later

    "I hate how the doors don't open when you shoot them!"

    You seriously think that's worse than Samus freaking out when she saw Ridley? I mean, come on, this was after super metroid wasn't it? that means she at LEAST fought ridley twice. I'm pretty sure the prime games already happened at this point as well, which would mean she's fought him countless times

  • 1. The game supposed to slow down immediately after entering first person to let you gather your bearings in the first person perspective instead of taking damage immediately.

    2. The more save points are due to the fact that enemies do not drop health. Left 4 Dead anyone? I do agree however that instead of many save stations, enemies should drop health.

  • @milesprower86 In fact i like that there is alot of save areas, without it personally for me this game would be EXTREMELY difficult.

  • by far the best metroid other m review ever! and it's not even a real review! great job kwing! thank god at least someone has good taste in games. :D

  • I'm actually getting this tomorrow along with The Mercenaries 3D. I've only played Prime 3. Other M was being bashed all over the Internet, so I figured it was bad. But now I've been reading good stuff about it, so i think people overreacted to stuff they are not used to. I heard a lot of complaints about Samus "crying like a little girl." Well, most badass characters start out with something like that. In fact, it shows that she's human.

  • Ha, your shocked?

    Watch G4's review. that will make you SHOCKED

  • Actually, you can skip them, just press - when the next level finishes loading, which is after 20 to 30 seconds.

  • People will always find reasons to bitch. "WE WANT A SUPER METROID REMAKE" , well , this is about as close to a super metroid remake as youre gonna get without making it totally 2D. They even continued the Super metroid story arc , instead of making Prime 4. Samus may be the most badass bounty hunter we all know , but she is also human , her parents were KILLED by Ridley. Even the most emotionless person will have feelings that were long covered up when reunited with the cause of pain.

  • thank you for this i loved this game and hated that so many people say this sucked, and when she cried when Ridley came back from the dead was bull becuse he killed her parents and she thought he was dead so they can STFU

  • "This game was able to capture look and feel of the original Metroid"

    @Kwing

    You never played the original did you? O_O

  • @droppingpenny. Um, if you watch his reviews, you would know!

  • @Marklmon1 I know just from his claim, Other M is supposed to feel like the classic, that this was most probably not the case.

  • "You know this game is in full 3D when you can walk up to the front of the screen and Samus gets bigger, and when you run away she gets smaller--that shows that this is a great game."

  • Did the haters even give this game a chance.....?

  • @Marklmon1 i know a guy who is firm to his claim that he doesn't like this, or any metroid game. But he'll admit that he's never played a single metroid game, ever. Naturally, he's an xbox 360 fanboy.

    so no. most haters didn't give this game a chance.

  • @Kjhuston09 Oh well....

  • @Marklmon1 yeah it's definitely an underrated game

  • I LOVED this game. I don't agree with the bad reviews. This was a VERY good game.

  • The thing that pissed me off must about other m was the morons that said it turned samus into a sex symbol when she was almust naked in the first metroid game

  • just one point near the end is not right you said most metroid games can be beaten in an hour or two "Yes" but only the gb games the prime saga is by far bigger then other m. even if you count the secret areas its not a large game.

  • @Yggdrasill299792 yeah i was a little confused when this guy said this is bigger than any other metroid game. i could beat this game in two afternoons without even trying too hard. one if i really had nothing else to do that day. i absolutely love this game, but it's certainly not a long game

  • you can skip the cutscenes by pressing -, at least in hard mode but i'm not sure if you can do it in normal mode

  • @bluedarknut you can so it in normal mode, at least in the PAL version

  • @bluedarknut not in normal for me :P

  • I think everyone loses on Samus' personality here. Sure there was a manga about Ridley (which not MANY people knows about so don't pull that crap out of nowhere), but you would think that she would not be surprised by Ridley's appearance. The guy appeared in many titles and even if prime did not exist in the timeline (which it does) that is not a good enough excuse to not be experience enough to not fight back.

  • Its hard to believe the amount of idiots how hate this game because of its potrail of Samus I mean shes been through Hell and back and shes only human afterall. I've seen batman react the same way in simliar situations.

  • @MrMetroid1998

    so your calling me and other hardcore metroid fans idiots, thanks loser. You really think this game was all that good. Ive played the prime games, read the manga, played some GBA titles. my point is this game sucks according to all professional reviewers and fans

    this game sucks for several reasons, few unlockables, a forced run through the lava zone while not being allowed to wear varia suit, the inconsistent character dev. all ur weapons are on u yet ur forbidden to use them

  • @TheDevilBreaker Look I played Metroid Other M and though it was dissapointing by Metroid Standards I still found it to be a decent game.

  • @MrMetroid1998

    Metroid Standards are what defines being a decent game in the series. its the game people have been waiting for since the original Super Metroid and Fusion, since the mangas introduction of Adam, since the first time people believed what Samus was like other than letting her subtle actions speak for her.

    It FAILED metroid Standards and i guess ill get over it if a future metroid game fixes this crap in story and gameplay and developed by someone OTHER than Team Ninja.

  • @MrMetroid1998

    though admittedly its a decent game in terms of its build, the reason why I said i wouldnt want to see another entry by team ninja is because i feel it should be shared among developers. Team Ninja and Retro studios have outdone themselves with this series. As good as the Primes were, i dont need to see games similar to their predecessors even if the end result was loveable.

    It was very short seemingly linear, and ive played it once, maybe ill dust off my copy and play again

  • @TheDevilBreaker I just think that Metroid Other M is no worse then Resident Evil 5 or Final Fantasy XIII.

  • @MrMetroid1998 Well actually she isn't only human, she's part chozo ;)

    Besides, Samus has fought Ridley countless times, and I haven't once seen her freak out like she did in Other M. So why did she decide to freak out now? That just bullshit.

    tl;dnr: Batman's a pussy anyways, samus is a fucking boss

  • @ChuCannon In terms of personalty she is human.

  • @MrMetroid1998 Let them hate it. It's their loss not yours.

  • @MrMetroid1998 I love the game, but it's portrayal of Samus really hurts.

    B this time she's already fought Ridley at least 5 times, Mother Brain twice (Thrice if you count the Aurora Unit 313), the Metroid Prime and it's Samus form thrice, the entire Ing horde and the Emperor Ing's 3 forms., she had already destroyed an entire planet and taken down the Zebesian and Homeworldian Space Pirates and yet she acts like some whiny preteen with an out-of-nowhere crush on "some gruff CO.".

  • @MrMetroid1998 Not that the entire character is messed, she handled the Madeline/Melissa and Platoon 7 issues very well, but her childish crush and extreme care for Adam are totally uncalled for, she herself referred to him as only "some gruff CO. she served under sometime" in Fusion. And crying like a bitch while confronted by Ridley, that had already come back 4 other times and by even crazier means, is stupid.

    That said, I LOVED THE GAME, it's just weird to have such a whiny Samus.

  • @kztar621 When Samus met Ridley at the first time, she was a little girl at that time. Seriously, how you cannot expect seeing Samus crying like a baby at that time? Ridley killed her parents. That leaves trauma to Samus and seeing Ridley again reminded Samus for that horrible day when her parents were killed and Ridley almost killed her. That's why Samus was so scared. Samus is a human like we are. Fear is a natural thing to everyone, even for tough bounty hunter like Samus.

  • And I hate the fact that this game is porpousefully forgeting EVERYTHING that happened in the Prime series. I mean, I know it doesn't have that much to do, but having Samus so surprised after knowing that the Federation was creating MB after she had already faced the Aurora Units in Norion's Solar System and Phazee is completely retarded. She already knew the Federation was producing bio-mechanic super computers based on the Chozo design of Mother Brain, for Pete's sake!

  • The story might have worked if they didn't put it where they did. The manga had the same reaction to Ridley, but that took place during Metroid 1, so it actually made sense. Also, the game's more linear than Fusion, and Fusion is about how linear you can make a Metroid game without being ridiculous. Additionally, you already had everything, you just couldn't use it because of the other people, which made me dislike everyone rather than care about them.

  • @MrMetroid1998 Don't bring Batman into this.

  • @MrMetroid1998 look at Extra Credits review of this. They'll explain.

  • I completely agree with you and this review. Finally; one that seems informative for a change instead of the same s*** I keep hearing every single time. This was a great game. The fast pace action. The in depth story. The secret finding. Every little bit of it felt like a Metroid game except for the new game play which was great. People really need to learn to step out of their gaming comfort zone and keep an open mind when playing games.

  • You said that I would have many playthrougs, but I beat thes game 1 time. Then tried beating it a second time, but lost intrest and played metroid prime. Then I unlocked hard mode and played it for an hour then sold it at gamestop for 11 dollars.

  • loved this game and this review. great job but i thought mario galaxy 2 had better graphics

  • When you aim you don't run, rule of thumb

  • This guy obviously hasn't seen the God of War finishing moves....

  • You dont hate the music in Metroid other M? I definitely did :D I play Metroid Prime songs over the gameplay to make it sound better!

  • @NOSFERATUalu Subpar, for sure. BUT the Ridley theme was AWESOME in this game.

  • Actually, after you beat the game once, you can press the minus button to skip cutscenes. But yeah, the doors should be "shootable" and the enemy deaths should reward you with health and missiles. It doesn't bother me that much, but it's still kind of annoying. Plus, I find the abundance of Save Stations to be annoying. Maybe I don't want to save. Maybe I want to blitze through the game without saving, but since the doors often won't open until after saving, I'm out of luck for that one.

  • @StarKiller561 Thanks for telling people that. I figured that one out too. Yet; people who hate the game I'm sure would choose to ignore that and still make the argument of unskippable cut scenes. Trust me I tried it. People get too emotional to actually listen. :(

  • @StarKiller561 The doors would not work, you would have to get close, because the shooting locks on to enemies.

  • @xRocketzFighterx NOOOOOOOOOOOO! You're wrong!

  • @xRocketzFighterx Yeah, I agree with some of the things you say. I still love this game tho, and they are planning on a sequel to this game, or really a sequel to Fusion. Something like that, and I'd love to see that. I like that it was kinda straight forward!

    I dont agree with that it's easy, or maybe a little.. Try to collect everything, without any guide etc and then the difficulti level will be taken up a notch. And try on hard mode, that's hard!

  • @xRocketzFighterx Yeah, hard mode is tough! Love this game tho. I think I'd almost 90% when I was done, I'm a real collector, so I really wanted everything :)

  • @o0Smexy0o

    Same here but I go for 100% completion for most games except for gta I mostly get to 70% or 80% lol.

    Honestly I did like the rest of the game (forget most of the bad shit I said) but adam is a pain in the ass, when you get all your moves like in all metroid games I go ape shit running around and jumping everywhere finding items every 20 seconds.

    if Team N makes a sequal I hope they don't use that permission to use item BS again.

    btw I loved useing the hover jump glitch in other M

  • @xRocketzFighterx Yeah! I dont like Adam to much, but it's kind of a ritual to not have all your stuff at the beginning :) In the Prime games you have to find your weapons, but in this you got them all, but not being able to use them at the beginning! Yeah, I loved to dodge lol

  • @o0Smexy0o

    that was the thing that bothered me so much in other M your only allowed to use items when your told to even during battle when samus can get her ass kicked XD.

    I like loseing all my powers at the start or in a prologe it feels rewarding to players in collecting items.

    In every save room you can hover while jumping, press jump and point at the screen at the same time if you do it right you should be in FPS mode in mid air for 2 seconds, I just did that for lol its not that useful.

  • You can skip the cutscenes... Press the minus button -_-

  • Metroid Other M may be a major low point for the Metroid series but it is still an overall great game sure Samus Arans potrail (espically in the scene with Ridley) is big minus and needing authroization to use abilitys instead of gaining them is stupid, the ending is depressing and needing to be in first person to shoot missles is stupid, but other then that I found Metroid Other M to be an overall great game, and enjoyed playing it . The Graphics, gameplay and challenge is wonderfull.

  • @MrMetroid1998 It wasn't a "Major low point" it was an amazing game and might have changed metroid

  • Comment removed

  • 1). The doors in this game are automatic. It takes more time to shoot, then walk in, so why not just walk in and have them open up automatically? There are some doors you do have to shoot with missiles, though.

    2). Destroying enemies and them giving health or missiles will make this game a little more "too easy", especially with the Concentration feature.

    3). Why complain about save stations? The only save stations you HAVE to save on are the ones where the doors won't open unless you do so.

  • Best graphics on the Wii besides Conduit and Red Steel 2. Only thing I didn't like was that you can't walk around in first person mode.

  • this game is awesome i litterall felt bad when *SPOILER NAME* died when shot to death it seriously has a great story and gameplay coming from the guy who has played multiple tales games

  • This game was terrible. I'd rather shoot Sakamoto than enemies on the screen for what hes done to the story.

  • Nice review man, I can't stand critic who say games are bad because they want to nitpick it to death

  • I don't get how every reviewer says the grafix are good. The grafix suck even for wii standards. Metroid Prime Corruption was far better technicaly and design wise. My wife was looking me playing it and thought I was playing this on the game cube. She asked me why was I playing such and old game.

  • @Lacumbre79 the envorments suck but the character modles are well done, come to think of it thats the opposite problem that most wii games have

  • @Lacumbre79 That's a lie an you bloody well know it the graphics in Metroid Other M puts many games on the wii to shame.

  • Kwing, you're one of the few good pro reviewers. But, whats the big deal about doors not opening when you shoot them? I know that was in the old games, but y'know. No offense. ;) Still, great review.

  • well done but i would give it a higher score

  • Good review! Now that is how you review a game.

  • I love it Kwing, thanks for telling me about it. This was the best review of the game I've seen. So many people trashed it.

  • Was that your Power Ranger's mobile text tone there at 7:07 there?

    Because if it was, THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!

  • @TBoneTony

    YUP

  • i have a good question.SINCE WHEN DOES SAMUS FOLLOW ORDERS????????????????????. In fusion she was following orders but she said that she doesn't like taking orders, she is like a puppet in this game

  • @Thelightblade1

    bounty huntes and mercs follow some kind of code or order giving to them on the mission, whether its to capture person if the person needs to be dead or alive etc. in super metroid she was on orders from the galactic federation to exterminate the remaining metroid aswell as take down the space pirates once and for all, and she got rewarded for tht, but it doesnt mean she has to like it, she even disobeyed an order in the game. but u do wht u gotta do to get paid

  • G4's review was horrible! Leave up to Kwing to do a game justice

  • @marcdaniel0321 I agree! G4's review WAS horrible! It was so bad that it really got me pissed and I just simply said "F them! I'm never watching their show ever again! They are very unfair when it comes to game reviews! It seems like they give Mario and Halo all the phrase in the world, while Sonic and some other good games get a freakin boot to the head!!!"

  • @DrunkGoomba1645 Its a shame. Sonic is my favorite video game character, so I hate the way they and IGN dog him. Come to think of it, there review was as bad as IGN's review for Sonic Unleashed. All they did was rant and bash the game without even making a good agreement. They're bias and they're losers

  • @marcdaniel0321 I totally agree with that too!

  • i agree why must people nit pick about other m i mean other m is an awesome game so thanks luke for giving us the true review on metroid other god bless and yes happy gaming

  • Im fed up of people moaning Samus is actually a woman with feelings. Anyone who is hardened and "cold" has a reason to be, if she was meant to be a pure robot, she would actually have been justa robot, not a woman in a suit.

  • @BrolyFan23

    i think it has to do with because Samus has less feminist approach to the game. Nintendo and team Ninja made her a more human character, instead of a Super Human attitude. People assume having emotions makes on weak, so they didn't like this game and just picked the same stuff to complain about and passed it on to the other reviewers. However; IGN did a great review of this game when it released. But I didn't check out other reviews, until after this was done.

  • Im planning to get a wii just so i can play this game!!!

  • this is y i subscribed to u and ur other channels kwing, ever since i subbed on my foxuzamaki account(which is suspended) i always found u a unbiased reviewer who loves nintendo and supports the wii and who actually KNOW HOW TO REVIEW A GAME especially metroid other m, now i would have also liked if u talked about the music however, it doesnt have all the memorable music from past metroid games but the new and old music it does have is simply gorgeous coming fro ma music buff like me.

  • @lylatfox4

    GZ doesn't let me go in detail for my reviews really. So I had to cut stuff out. Also since I am partner now on my YT channel, Ive had to cut back on work out side my channel, since I do a vid mon-fri now. I felt the music was ok in this game, I used the only songs I liked for this review. Thanks for watching the review and understanding how and why I review games =)

  • Samus goes all Chris Redfield on her opponents in that close combat.

  • @thebonefish

    Pretty much =)
