In a little over a month, August 31 to be exact, comes the next installment in the great Metroid franchise, Other M. Retro Studios had been developing the console Metroid titles for nearly a decade, but with Other M, Nintendo hands the reigns over to Team Ninja, known best as the developer of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive. Team Ninja is taking Metroid in a more cinematic direction in hopes of fleshing out Samus' character a little bit beyond just being a badass space bounty hunter. On the gameplay side, expect a mesh of classic 2D sidescrolling with Prime-style first person shooting.
So, dear reader, are you excited for Other M, or could you care less? Do you have high hopes, or has what you've seen so far make you prepare for disappointment?
(Here's a little GIF I threw together just to have something pretty to look at on the site.)
