  • I find this funny. Just because it is a Nintendo made game, the bar was that much higher. Now, if let's say EA made this game, it would have had a better reception. Look at the game for what it is, and you'll see it was good. Plus, if you are a true Metroid fan, you will understand the story. LOTS of background info needed.

  • I think we need a new type of metroid for the Wii U. Not another prime or other M, but a new first person shotter that starts a new story.

  • Shame the game was terrible, isn't it?

  • the game was good....it jsut wasn't a real metroid game.

  • I am the 1000 liker :]

  • Tsc Tsc... When everybody will learn that you can't create high expectations on nothing? I learned it in the worst way I must say...

    And I loved this game so much that I'm playing it again for the fourth time :)

  • I personally loved it....loved this game

  • The design of the suit sorta bothers me in this game when compared to others, reminds me of a lollipop or a piece of candy.

  • why do people hate on this game , you people have to learn that you won't always like change if you don't like just shut the hell up and play something else.

  • I loved the game.

  • This game was disappointing but I still enjoyed it.

  • I thought this was a great addition to the Metroid series. There where a few glitches that annoyed me, but the rest of the game was awsome :D. I would give at least a 9/10 to it.

  • The Gameplay was awesome, the story was ok, but needed to fix a few things.

    I have no qualms about the voice acting.

  • 12.12.12

    DREAMCAST 2

    It's Coming...

    See channel

  • why is everyone hating one this game graphics great great story some awkward controls overall one the best games one wii in my opinion!

  • this game isn't bad I just don't like the controls

  • with this outta the way...please make Metroid Prime 4!!

  • I like the story of this game, but something is...missing.

    Metroid Prime is boring (in my opinion), my favourite Metroid games are Zero Mission and Fusion.

  • Fucking People Man Always Criying and Shit Mostly Little Bitches Not real Fans This Game Is Beautiful And Ive Played Every Metroid Game This Was Perfect I Loved It With all my heart i did not care who made it or how it was made all i cared was about Samus aran and does metroids Hearing samus talk was beast

  • the best music ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @nintendosify Agreed !

  • If you like or don't like this game, it's all a matter of opinion. If you don't like it, fine, If you like it, great. I personally love this game and the prime games, people complain this game is too different, but wasn't the first prime game different too? But honestly I think this game is one of the best games I have ever played.

  • @bobtnineseven I agree completly, this game was great but everyone is indeed entitled to their own opinions

  • why does evryone diss this game? This game was awsome!

  • @VideoGamez11 i agree

  • @ElNegro1337 Exactly. But, in the SNES era and in GBA it wouldn't be a wise decision to make long cutscenes like in this garbage. Not to mention it would be stupid to include hours of story on SNES/GBA games about exploration.

    Let's take a look at the Prime games: Made by Retro Studios, plot devised by them as well. All good.

    Once Retro was done with the Prime series, Nintendo decided to let Sakamoto write the story and hire Team Ninja, where Sakamoto utterly raped the Metroid series.

  • Thumbs up if you actually liked this game for the epic gameplay and boss fights.

  • I dont know why everyone hates on it... in fact some people want to forget it was even in there. I seriously think that this is the best Metroid game to date, the gameplay was perfect. Haters gunna hate, but those "unskippable" cutscenes? There's something called the minus button. n00bs

  • @HyperSniperCo You can't skip cutscenes on the first playtrough. And the controls were absolute shit. Linear as fuck, too. Not to mention the horrible VA for samus, plot written by a 9 year old, and forced sympathy on shit characters. the only good character was Anthony. This game was complete shit and i'm glad it bombed.

    and also if you seriously think that this is the best Metroid game to date, then either you have horrible taste, don't know what metroid is about, or are just plain retarded.

  • @HyperSniperCo Not to mention the god-awful graphics (Even prime on the gamecube looked better than this glossy plastic mess), Forgettable music, that the game SHOWS you where the powerups are, stupid authorization system on weapons (Hurr disable your Varia suit samus. It could cause harm to others.), NO JINGLE WHEN YOU GET A POWERUP, and exploitable health system. Game was too easy too, but Hard mode solved that problem. In short, it's not Metroid. It's shit.

  • The game was pretty good for me. The only bad thing was the soundtrack.

  • The game is (in my oppinion) worth enough to be played but it feels like a Metroid fusion for Wii because almost everything you see was also in fusion.

    Thats the only thing i hated on Other M.

  • @fl0kati its a prequel to fusion

  • Samus got turned into Lightning from FFXIII. A whiney bitch who needs to have some sense slapped into her.

  • I don't see why this game is getting 'bad' reviews, Ign gave it an 8.5 this game is a great metroid title, close to being as great as super metroid well almost, nothing beats the masterpiece super metroid :)

  • If Bethesda or Valve made Metroid, the game would bee as good as the hype, and then some. Nintendo is known for ruining their own games, it doesn't suprise me that the game didn't live up to the hype, much like every new "amazing game!!!1!" announced at E3

  • The graphics from this game makes me think it was created in 2002....

  • @TheBrendude How is your failed troll life ?

  • @TheMornom This is so entertaining that I just barely bothered to respond to it. You're very good at making yourself look idiotic and stupid.

  • @TheBrendude You really fail at trolling, but that's not a big deal...

  • @TheMornom That comment, in turn, is a failure. You are ignorant and stupid to think that I was trolling. Now, if you even bother to talk anymore, I WILL start to troll. Let's hope we don't get to that point....For the sake of the community. :)

  • @TheBrendude No because Metroid prime Has better graphics and it came out in 2002.

  • @jkss3493 hey bro, play the game on a bigger tv before you bash it.

  • @HyperSniperCo I wasn't bashing it.

  • @jkss3493 oh well just sayin, it looks very good on my tv

  • @HyperSniperCo I know im just saying Metroid prime has better graphics....Or at least the metroid prime trilogy version does.

  • You are not yet authorized to post youtube comments, Samus.

  • This game really sucked in my opinion. I KNEW they were gonna fail when they fired Retro, mastermind of the Prime series (which holds the best FPS of all time, Metroid Corruption)

  • 1. They didn't fire Retro.

    2. Corruption was the worst of the Prime trilogy.

  • @edward18517

    I meant that Nintendo should have made Retro make MOM instead of Team Ninja. I really liked the story in Corruption, I don't see how it was the worst...

  • I wasn't talking about just story, but Prime 3's story was the worst because it was all meaningless. I mean Phazon in the end had NOTHING to do with ANYTHING else in the entire series. With how Prime 3 has things there could have been Dark Samus' popping up all over the place instead of it being the character that was built up throughout the series. And Prime's origins are still never given a clear-cut answer of any sort. Also how did Ridley survive Prime 3?

  • @edward18517 How did Ridley survive all the Metroid games he appears in

  • In Prime he survived due to his remains from 1/ Zero Mission being crafted into a cyborg. He was then recovered for Prime 3 as still Meta Ridley who became the Leviathan Guardian of the Pirate Homeworld. They have yet to explain how he came back in Super. Other than that he pretty much has an explanation for the rest of the series.

  • @Not18Im13 Retro Couldn't make it because they were developing Dkc returns since like 2008.

  • @Not18Im13

    Can't tell if trolling or just being stupid.

  • thumbs up if you think metroid is better than halo

  • Once again you're tossing your own personality onto mine and assuming I think the way you do - I never did claim I did not like something, you are tossing your own self onto me instead of actually trying to converse with a fellow separate human being heheheee! lolz! BWUAHAHAHAHAH!

  • When did I say I do not enjoy otakus? I've been getting entertainment off them for years - your comment is a clone of that Omega person I replied to by the way lolz! BWUAHAHHEHEHAHAHAH! :]

  • I definitely think video games need a rebranding nowadays, because when a story driven experience like this is called a "game", it fails to be taken seriously by non-gamers.

  • Houston we have a problem.

    This game got a 6/10

  • @TheEZPAXIIChannel

    It got an 8.5 from GameSpot (8.3 in user score) I think that's a pretty good score.

  • @TheEZPAXIIChannel Ok, 1 reviewer said it got a 6. I hate some games with really high critic scores? Your an idiot.

  • this game is tight when a new Nintendo system comes out they should make a metroid hunters and make it online that would be a good idea fuck cod after that I bet.

    Nintendo could have real cool shit online if they thought about because even they said the screwed up on brawl

  • I never understood how somehow this game managed to look so much worse than the Prime series. Even the original Metroid Prime.

  • I wish the game was as good as the hype was.

  • @XHolyPuffX I don't. I mean, the hype wasn't all THAT great besides the commercial. The game is already as good as it was hyped for. Overall I think Other M was really underrated.

  • @1upD

    The game was good yes but I didn't feel like I was ever going to want to play it again because of how annoying things can be sometimes.

  • @XHolyPuffX Are you talking about the difficulty, or just annoying dialogue? Metroid has always been difficult. Look at Metroid, Metroid II, and Metroid Prime 2.

  • @1upD

    The story was meh, the actual gameplay just kinda failed in general as a metroid game. I didn't like the mechanics.

  • @XHolyPuffX I understand we all have a right to our opinions, but did you REALLY not like the plot, or just the voice acting and writing? When you think about it, the bad part about the story was the mopey monologues and cheesy attitude. Both can be attributed to voice and writing. I got over the cheesiness very quickly, but some people just can't stand that campy style. The actual plot was enjoyable for me, if not underdeveloped. The conclusions sort of fell flat, unfortunately.

  • @1upD

    I guess the writing and a little bit of the plot. I thought it was pretty good, but it didn't really last that long and also I didn't like the way the characters played out. It felt more like a "space marine shooter" than a Metroid game. I enjoyed the action sequences MUCH more than the actual story, which is rare for me.

    I'm not saying the game sucked, I'm just saying I expected to be blown away and I wasn't.

  • @XHolyPuffX it was.

  • @XHolyPuffX Look on the bright side it could of been a hell of a lot worse, just look at a lot of Sonics Recent games.

  • hmm, i like

  • Remember when this game looked like it was gonna be awesome? THAT'S what's happening NOW!!!!

  • Now nobody be mad or sad if other m wasn't was like you wanted it to be or if its not like the original games. Its good to start new things because think about it, would you want the metroid games to be the same thing over and over again? Nothing new about it?

  • what's the name of the song in this trailer?

  • @acido44 Its the main theme of Super Metroid.

  • What is the music - soundtrack?

  • @5Deadpool This tune first appeared in Super Metroid.

  • i like first person shooter the best

  • Other M is way better than Dark Side Chronicles trust me, get this game

  • @hermosapeach Other m is a better choice, both games are linear but dark side chronicles wasn't too good for a resident evil game, it was much like umbrella chronicles, its good but doesn't compare to a game like other m or any of the other resident evil titles.

  • Which game should I get Metroid Other M or Resident Evil Dark Side Chronicles? I like both franchises, im not a pro gamer and i hate to play with the nunchuk old school baby!!! lol please give me some opinions... Tnxs

  • @hermosapeach Resident Evil all the way.

  • @hermosapeach Metroid Other M is better!

  • One of the best video game theme music EVER.

  • Anyone know the name of the music in the trailer ???

  • halo- master chief

    metroid- mistress cheif

    put them in a fight who will win?

  • @pumpy641 METROID!! =D

  • it would've been much better if you could play in first person view and much MUCH more puzzles and also additional missions that made the game replaying as i have restarted it ova 30times already...

  • @ChristeenSandra FUCK THAT .TK ARE HACKS AND SPYWARE DONT TOUCH

  • FPS mainview gone? risky.

  • @soopfilm How is that risky? Metroid never had FPS in the first place before the prime serie. Unless you've never played the classics.

  • Metroid > Halo

    Star Fox > CoD

    Zelda > Assassin's Creed and God of War

    Mario > Banjo Kazooie NnB

    F-Zero > Need for Speed

    Nintendo > any game Microsoft can make

  • @LOZmaster85RB u so dont like mine sweaper...

    YOU MY SIR ARE A FUCKING IDIOT!

  • @CptNorstedt when I say games, I mean xbox games, not computer games, mineswiper's awesome

  • @LOZmaster85RB

    Nintendo fanboy much?

    Halo>Metroid

    Starfox>CoD

    Zelda>AC but equal to GoW

    Never played F zero or Need for speed

    Well, ive had more fun with MS exclsuives then Nintendos, so I wouldnt say that nintendo can always make better games than any MS or sony game.

  • @zeratul1356 Thats personal opinion, and those games arent even in the same genre. And Metroid Prime is a first person adventure game, and this is an adventure game.

  • @ruekurei88

    Of course its oppinion.But the guy I was responding too sounded like a major fanboy.I never stated that my oppinion was fact

  • @zeratul1356 Well ok, Though you might want to pick games in the same genre to compare the games with. Withs up with all this fanboy stuff anyway? Nintendo/Sony?Microsoft secretly pays these guys or what? Noone profits from fanboyism except the companies, all they're doing is missing out on the great games the respective systems have to offer.

  • @ruekurei88

    you dont get it, I was replying to a guy who did a fanboy like comparrison.Im not a fanboy myself, but I was just giving my oppinion on the dude that I replied too.

  • @zeratul1356

    CoD isn't an exclusive.

    And all the Nintendo games are actually published/made BY Nintendo - making them at least THE best game devs / publishers

  • @canttellyoumate

    I wasnt talking about CoD dude, i was talking "in general".How does the publisher make the game better?How does a game with "nintendo" on the cover make it a better game than lets say Crysis 2?Actually, I find Bethesda, Bioware, Blizzard and Bungie to be the best devs out there.All 4 make outstanding games that will consume your social life.I have literally put over a hundred hours into Oblivion alone.

  • @zeratul1356

    The Devs you mentioned above only have one game worth mentioning. And good ones at that too. But Nintendo have Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Kirby, Metroid - and EACH and every one of those games has sold more than the games you mentioned above. BETTER game, well we might have an arguement over that, BUT I prefer these games, more than Crysis or whatever.

  • @canttellyoumate

    Metroid and star fox have sold more than Halo?Yea right.each halo games sells literally millions in less then its 24 hours of release.Do you know anything about these devs?Bioware has made the Dragon Age series, Mass Effect series, KoTOR and Jade empire.Blizzard have made Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo.Bungie have made Halo and Marathon.And bethesda have made the The Elder Scrolls series(best RPG series ever) and fallout 3.And these are entire series, not just "one game"

  • @zeratul1356

    LOL. Highest Selling Halo game is Halo 3 - 8.1 million. Alright, Maybe not metroid and star fox, but Mario outsold it, Zelda outsold it, Kirby, etcetc. Oh, and by the way, I can guarantee that Nintendo have sold more copies than each of the devs - Bioware, Blizzard and Bungie. Because they have been selling video games since the 80s, and their highest selling vgame is Mario Bros (70 million)

  • Oh cute, I click on a random video about a game/toy and I see the usual children mentally arguing about their toys, humanity loves showing it's silly side lolz - argue about Barbie Dolls while you're at it, that would make for a fun show too! :]

    For desserts you can argue about Green Apples or Red Apples tasting better heheheheee!

    You can also try to force seafood down someone's throat to try to prove it is the best food in the universe, eh? You otakus are silly lolz

  • @goldieX39

    :S

  • @goldieX39 1. We are not kids and this is not a toy. Did you know the average gamer is 37 years old? Ending an argument with the word "lolz" doesn't make you sound smarter, believe me.

  • I'm trying to sound smart? Tell me when you're done trying to place your personality onto others - then you can maybe understand me better lolz! BWUAHAHAHJEHEHAHAH!

    By the way hehee! Toy = plaything, an artifact designed to be played with - if you deny the fact that games/toys specifically fit this criteria then all hope is lost for you hehehee! :]

    There has been no argument at all by the way, just me tossing facts about little playthings - kids as in mentally is what I meant btw lolz! hahah!

  • Yo lo quiero!!!!! amo a samus xD

  • The soundtrack is dope

  • @smc9100 you just confirmed your newbishness even further

  • This game had so much potential.

  • wii is gay

  • @smc9100 lol, newb

  • @bluedarknut UR FAKE AND GAY ENJOY THE CRAPPY GRAPHICS OF YOUR WII

  • @smc9100 Uh, excuse me.

    I happened to notice this comment, I have to ask...do you even know what a creative concept is? Because that's what a lot of people play games for. If it looks sub-par but it's concept is creative enough, people will play it. Look at Minecraft.

  • @InfiniteStoryteller9 wii has no big games for 2011 and ps3 has 11 exclusives while wii only has a new zelda coming ahahahah ps3 is way better

  • @smc9100 well it still doesn't make up for the poor library and shitty gameplay >.>

    Sony... stick to something u know, and that is called OLD SCHOOL CRASH BANDICOOT

  • @CptNorstedt ur so gay the wii is for little kids and fatties like u that think it will make u lose weight

  • I would have bought this if it wasnt third-person!!!

  • @xXCOD6Xx ....why? 3rd person games arent bad, i enjoyed playing Gears of War in 3rd person :P plus,in Other M, u go in 1st person when it's necessary, unlike in other games where FP is just plain annoying, the first Metroid games were side scrollers and where classics, if ur a true gamer, u would know that gameplay is wayyy more important than camera angles

  • @TheMovieMessiah Well ya i know 3rd person games arent bad i even play Gears of war 1 and 2 and i loved it but Other M's a different story the controls setup wasnt really that great because id be sitting there fighting a mini boss or something and id need to shoot a missle so i had to take time turning the controller when im getting hit then id have to take the time to turn the controller again just to move out of the way and that was just annoying and then the camera angels werent really in the

  • @TheMovieMessiah Best of places and kinda messed up where i was going and yes ive played all the side scrollers like Fusion,Super M,Metroid (Very First one) and the other ones and i loved them and all they have done for the modern consoles is FP and i think they should stick with that because i think they did good with that. Oh and sorry for making the message soooooo long ^^'

  • @xXCOD6Xx im sick of FP, more than 85% of my Xbox and PS3 games are FP which is pretty sad, teh ycant do anything different or original anymore. i still think that if u wont buy it because of 1 small problem, wait, it's not even a problem, just because it's camera is different from the rest doesn't mean u should just cast it aside and not even try it, comparing the pros and cons for this game, i cant even name 1 con, so i dunno why u wont get it lol

  • @TheMovieMessiah Actually my friend lent me the game and i would have to rate it 5/10

  • KICK ASS Awsome graphics!!! ><

  • Just finished this game, wow....bravo Team Ninja, bravo.

  • 3rd person samus game? gaaaaay

  • @sumSOTY it actually worked.

  • @sumSOTY samus game? dont you mean metroid game?

  • @sumSOTY you do know that early metroid games were third person side scrollers right?

  • @disturbedfan2781

    yeah, in a time when there weren't any first person shooters

  • metroid is 3 words SAMUS IS HOT

  • i just like this trailer for the music

  • It sucks that nobody bought this game.....

  • @TwistedIndigo09

    Dude, it will reach 1 million by the end of this year.

  • They should have shown some pics of ridely

  • thumbs up for no fucking reason whatsoever

  • thumbs up is you think the previous 1st person shoter screen that was used in the previous metroid game was better,

  • she

    

  • thumbs up if you're black

  • thumbs up if you ended the game in a week

  • @dikiedik2000 la termine en menos de una semana

  • to answer the mystery question, how can Samus turn into her Morph Ball...she was injected with alien DNA when she was orphaned by the aliens (Chozo) and that enabled her to become a thousand times better than a human, she was trained so well that her flexibility allows her to turn into a ball. Her power suit is controlled by her mind and soul.

    i was also curious how the hell she fit in that lil ball so i read up onn it and thats what i found...shes a very interesting character, i love it.

  • the other m is menopause........guess what samus is doing in this game

  • Metroid is awesome. Halo is awesome. Why can´t we all just get along :D

  • @DOMIDAKE Because most gamers are dumb, sorry to say. Open-minded gamers, unfortunately, are the minority. :/

  • 57 people waste lots of time.

  • Samus is Sexy

  • @rockmanlipe

    Sexy since 2002

  • this isnt really better than halo reach i wonder if the people who say it is better have even played reach metroid doesnt even have multiplayer

  • @cris178Zune ive played both..beat both... it rlly depends on how good u r at metroid for it to be fun..halo is kinda lame with its movement and metroid has better story line but i like both

  • @Miyhal wat r u talking about other m had probably the worst story line halo reach had a great story line it showed the fall of reach

  • @cris178Zune i didnt say other m i ment metroid period...

  • Comment removed

  • Samus kick ass to Halo! Tumbs up if i am right!

  • @MrRambo4 Those bitches comparing two awesome games just trying to get thumbs up....

  • I wish people would stop comparing Metroid to Halo. Thats like comparing apples and oranges. They're both first person (usually) and they both involve aliens, outerspace, and big badass suits. But that's it. The plot for both games is totally different, the controls are different, Metroid usually sticks to a few certain weapons while Halo has a bunch of different guns, tanks and ships, and Master Chief isnt a sexy woman that can contort into a ball and fire suit destroying lasers.

  • This game had a lot of great ideas but didn´t fully utilize them! I hope Other M sells enough coppies so they can make a direct sequel with the same gameplay design plus with improved gameplay. The biggest issues Other M had were:

    - Too short

    - Samus´ script

    - Barely replay vallue

    - Shitty puzzles.

    Fix those Nintendo, and you got a new Metroid that stands worthy to Prime.

  • i love metroid. but thats the wrong way nintendo. accept it and turn to the other way

  • Thumbs up if u think Metroid is better than halo

  • @RobertLIVE100 BEEEP YEAH man Halo SUCKS, Metroid is my shooter game.

  • @RobertLIVE100 Better? Why do you even compare them?.. Metroid has gameplay wich halo is totally missing.

  • @marcusnlc Yeah, both have many advantages over the other, but everyone like what they want to.

  • @RobertLIVE100 i luke them both

  • @RobertLIVE100

    Better?No.But still a kick ass series

  • Comment removed

  • @TheLovemusicguy how the hell does halo rip off metroid? Have you ever played halo? They are two TOTALLY different games
