@@haydenbennett3547 I mean when you consider just how much effort Samus put into killing Ridley, the huge amount of disbelief she must have had at this point that he was still alive would definitely have shocked her enough. Maybe not to the point she felt helpless in the sense she couldn't fight him, but helpless in the sense that no matter what she did, she'd never be rid of him. That's how I perceived it.

Like made enough that she disobeys Adam's orders and activates a good chunk of her powerups to unleash all of her anger on Ridley. And after she gets back in communication with Adam.

I actually really enjoyed Metroid: Other M. It may be because it was my first time playing a Metroid game. I agree the controls could've been better, but overall, the game is pretty solid. If Nintendo made another Metroid game with similar gameplay (With an analog stick instead), I'd definitely play it.

[@godislove102887]

Wow, I'm impressed there's someone else who likes Other M. I actually do too, but I'll agree that a number of issues marred it in ways that it didn't deserve. The execution of Adam, the whole "authorization" mechanic, and some of the tone of Samus's monologues which could be completely baffling to someone who may not have played Super Metroid were kinda poorly done, but I won't say it KILLED the game like some will. I genuinely think there's good to it and I personally love how it began bringing in Samus's close-up and hand to hand tactics into the mix and really built on her fighting style, making her feel more fluid and badass for it than simply just gunning everything and that's all there is to it.

[@Q.The_Demon]

[@VelenZaiga]

In the Zero Mission Manga, here PTSD is present. She overcame her fear by killing Ridley in Zero Mission. Supposedly. Then in later games she faces him without a problem due to overcoming the trauma by destroying her nemesis...However. Ridley was supposed to be truly dead after Super Metroid...His revival as a clone was unexpected for her. She believed him to be truly dead, and his sudden reappearance causes her PSTD to resurface.

[@anthonytonythegeek5561]

It’s a good way of bringing him back but not as he use to be honestly.

You could also download Metroid 1, and Super Metroid 3 from the E-shop. So, as you can see, the Wii U could be a good choice for you since it offers several Metroid games to play with.

With all that said though, the game had some awesome qualities that I hope makes it into another Metroid game done in this style. I thought the auto-aim was kinda dumb at first but it actually worked really well. In 2D metroid games you didn't really have to worry too much about aiming and you could literally blast through multiple enemies easily after you power up and this game captures that feeling perfectly unlike the Prime games were you had to take time to aim to get through an area.

Ridley: Kills thousands of people. Also ridley: needs to be revived 7 times.

[@MrAuthor3DS]

To be fair, Samus saw Ridley die for real in Super Metroid, which chronologically takes place right before Other M. Seeing him return was more a shock than usual, so of course she'd have relapse. (I even watched the cutscene again, and I swear I heard her utter "It can't be - !")

[@Rupcoris]

I've tried to justify this in my mind before and it just doesn't make any sense. At this point samus had fought ridley 4 times already (5 if you count samus returns), why is she having PTSD now?

[@Prakooponzius164]

​@@Rupcoris because in every fight they had before super Metroid, Ridley first survived extremely wounded (Zero Mission), then he went under medication becoming Meta Ridley (Prime 1). This ”therapy” resulted him regenerating more and more organic pieces of his body (Prime 2) and as the regeneration progress, he becomes less mechanical and more organic, becoming first Omega Ridley (Prime 3) and lastly Proteus Ridley (Samus Returns). With his regeneration completed, his now back to 100% organic (Super Metroid), and after his decisive battle with Samus (the second one in Super Metroid) we cleary see that Ridley exploded and his body shattered to pieces, cleary stating that his dead for good. After the game's ending, planet Zebes (where the events of Super Metroid took place) exploded, wiping out everything that was on that planet, including Ridley's remains, so not even with a miracle there was a way to bring back OG Ridley. So Samus, after processing that she has eliminated her nemesis for good, could live peacefully putting her past aside. That wasn't the case because of the Federation cloning Ridley using his remains on Samus' Suit. Samus, after seeing that not only she lost Baby, her ”adopted son”, and her home planet, where she was raised by the Chozo, but she realized that she also failed to kill her nemesis, the one who wipe out all the inhabitants of K-2L (her original planet) killing her parents in front of her, and that leads to a breakdown, and as far as we know from the manga, she suffers from PTSD a lot. This is where Samus characterization in Other M peaked, because the Samus we saw in that game was in a weak state, after the failure of Super Metroid Mission (save the Baby) her first failure, so of course she isn't the same strong independent woman we see in other games. Other M's events however helps to strengthen her spirit and to fight her PTSD, accepting her past and becoming the bounty hunter we know today. This Samus born from Other M can be found in her dialogues and monologues from Fusion and in the Raven Beak fight from Dread were she straightly losed it. As a side note if the community hates Other M so much, since is basically a movie on Samus, I hope they never do a Metroid movie.

[@TrueLooneyman]

I do know that Kraid WAS planned to be in Metroid Prime as Meta Kraid, but he was removed due to time constraints. But this is my thought, Samus saw Ridley resurrected as Meta Ridley in Metroid Prime, so she wouldn't have been so emotionally stung to his reappearance. In Super Metroid, there wasn't enough time to be overcome with fear due to Ridley making a speedy getaway with the infant metroid after a very brief and weak fight. By other M, Samus was sure Ridley was gone for good.

I liked the gameplay and story of Other M. It combined the old 2D and the new 3D sources in a good way. The Story was also great, because it gives a new, emotional side of Samus. She is not the "hardcore Hero/Killing Machine" like master chief or something. She is a bit melancholic and traumatized after all the adventures she got through. The best scene was shortly before the battle against Ridley when she looked in his eyes and the fear of the childhood came upon her (because she thought that Ridley was finally dead). This shows humanity and that is what I liked in this game. I know that the authorizations of Adam are an argument but for me it is conclusive why she followed his orders.

But, I agree about Sakamoto.

[@CarterG4Y]

I don't get why people want Ridley as a playable character. I mean, Ridley's absolutely ginormous. In Brawl, it was able to easily lift Samus with one hand/claw. And even if they scale it down, really, what could they possibly do for his move-set?

[@prosecutorzero1989]

People just want more Villain characters, but one of Ridley's most intimidating facts is that he's huge. Scaling him down would take away of his traits.

[@CarterG4Y]

ProsecutorZero Yeah, that's another thing. I think that if any villain has a chance of making it in, it's King K. Rool. He isn't too big (A bit bigger than Donkey Kong), and he has a wide range of attacks that could be used in his move-set. The other reason I think he has a chance is that, not only do many people want him in, but Nintendo still has rights to the kremlings, because they appear in smash run.

[@JurassicReptile]

EpicPigmasks Well to be fair K. Rool is way bigger than Donkey Kong. I know Ridley's a boss but i'm just saying

This is literally the only noteworthy track of the game. Everything else is extremely bland and generic action film music.

[@MonkeySharkPro]

How the flying fuck was the gameplay bad?

[@Sarantserel]

MonkeySharkPro Because it was a repetitive flashy action game that is watered down compared to the other game in the series. There was no real freedom of exploration since door would randomly lock behind you and you were usualy ordered around by Adam and/or the plot. And while not looking quite significant the fact that 'unlocks' were done with an authorization mechanic removed a part of the pleasure for me. In the other games, when I arrived before an obstacle I couldn't overcome, I knew that I needed something hidden somewhere else to help. In this game, there was no unlocks to find to help you move around you just had to wait for Adam to tell you when you could use them. And I said repetitive because doors would lock and force you to fight again and again the same tedious mini-bosses(I hated that wood dinosaur monster). So if you like repetitive action packed game and you never enjoyed a Metroid game before, I guess you could like the gameplay, but in the scheme of metroid games, this should never be repeated in a series renowned for exploring alien worlds, not for being a shoot-em up action game.

***** Well, I guess it's safe to say that we disagree, and honestly I don't want to get in argument. I felt that the gameplay was solid and enjoyable and that it overshadowed the story, but alas that is just my personal preference. I wish you the best of luck in the future, and ciao.

[@inazu11marionic]

gameplay:good story:the worst music:amazing

[@mabgamer6407]

man keep up the work, not many extended Metroid Themes out there.

[@luckyRedSeven]

I liked this game, the gameplay, and the story except the first cutscene. But why the galactic federation would keep a secret vessel with unused bio-weapons? Also, the power ups are... more normal, Samus don't have to collect everything again, instead she has to.wait Adam to allow her to use stuff. Crap, I'm dying in the vulcano and I can't use Varia suit.

[@papershadow]

The in-game explanation is that they were going to use them, but MB staged a mutiny and they lost control. The idea was to take control of them again, but Adam started looking around. Though that does beg the question why they'd go out of their way to remove the only weakness that let them control the Metroids as Bio-Weapons.

[@goldenlink4732]

I don't like the reasoning for the power ups, it could've been done a bit better, like in Fusion or Prime 2, but the idea of you not needing to go find the upgrades is nice. Another thing I don't like is, you can only get energy by saving or holding your wiiremote up pressing a, which basically makes you an easy target. Why couldn't they make the enemies drop energy like all the other games?

[@Nekotamer]

papershadow69 the metroids can only be controlled by mother brain's hypnotic powers, the only weakness of the metroids is freezing, removing that would make the metroids an almost perfect bioweapon. freezing is not the way to control it, but to destroy it

[@Nekotamer]

Golden Link you can get though the whole game just pressing the dpad randomly to dodge and then punish the poor bastards, the game would be WAY TOO EASY if they droped health.

[@papershadow]

filipposan872 I mean control in the sense of "they're starting to revolt, but we're able to wipe them out before they cause too much damage."

[@LastFallenSentinel]

This is how I feel when I have like 5 minutes before arriving late to my college classes lol.

[@AStupidLamp]

"You have not truly played the other Metroid games." Yes, I have. I've even played Metroid 2, which for some reason a lot of people haven't. Other M is not a 3D version of how the original Metroid games played. It's a 3D version of Fusion plays. It's even got the same setting, commanding officer, and enemy designs. So why do I like Fusion when I don't like Other M? I don't know. Maybe it's how Fusion's narrative was focused, while Other M's just meanders.

[@unova1995]

I think the reason is since this Ridley came out of nowhere, it caught her off guard tremendously. With the addition of losing the baby Metroid not too long ago prior to the events, she has been emotionally unstable. I haven't gotten this far yet, but there you go.

[@grayfox4819]

You gotta admit that as much TERRIBLE is the scene that precedes it, the boss fight against Ridley and this theme are pretty awesome.

[@Zevroid01]

Actually, it seems to be based on a concept that was introduced in the old Super Metroid Nintendo Power comic. The difference being that it was explained a little more clearly and the suit didn't deactivate when Samus was knocked out or anything, but the idea of it being powered by her will and focus was there. More focus, more power; less focus, less power.

[@JsYTA]

The baby

[@FandeJay]

VGM Studios Baby's cry!!!

[@FandeJay]

VGM Studios Other M is an anagram of Mother!!

[@pepijn23]

And to think he’s named after a British movie director who directed Metroid’s greatest inspiration.

[@SavageBunnyGirl]

Most people hated what Samus had to say, leading to their dislike of the game, is all. I personally... just... hated the controls.

[@Xineombine]

+SavageBunnyGirl you mean NOT using the nunchuck and wii mote, but instead, moving with the Dpad, than going into first person mode by aiming the mote at the screen ISN"T FUN? [I've yet to play this, but I've heard that this is something a lot of people hate]

[@AuroraBorealis170]

ironically I'm fine with that yeah it wasn't perfect, (stupid concentration) but I'm fine with it

[@ImperishableDani]

Metroid fusion samus is the way I see samus as a character, simply a badass bounty hunter who has no fear, but has emotions and has feelings towards other people, which I can see her having since she is not always with people all that much, I mean hell she was raised by chozo! I love metroid fusion, I dont know why people hate it so much, you can still explore the area at your own pace, it is incredibly atmospheric and the story was perfect, other m did not need to be made at all!

[@sendylie1774]

This theme is far too good for Samus' most persistent enemy.

[@donski6534]

So you DO like Other M... OuO

[@sendylie1774]

Donnell Campos halfly.

[@donski6534]

Sendy Lie Good enough for me. =u=

[@Shaderaygun]

What are you talking about Samus. One of the ending stills from Zero Mission shows you in a bar.

[@Gokai10]

Honestly, I think samus is scared of ridley because, maybe because she saw him die in super metroid, but it's only a theory.

[@goldenlink4732]

A game theory! :D

[@thundercloud2982]

Golden Link Thanks for looking!

[@megakirby64]

Samus has no reason to be scared of Ridley since she's encountered him plenty of times. Remember, the events of this game and Fusion chronologically occur well after the Prime series, in which Ridley seemed to be the most powerful.

[@Gokai10]

Samus has a reason for being scared of Ridley. Look, Ridley indirectly caused the baby metroid death, because he captured the baby metroid. The baby died and Samus was with a trauma, and when she saw Ridley, she was paralyzed maybe because Ridley reminded her to the baby metroid, and that is a theory of why she didn`t attack Ridley in the game. Also, the Ridley in the Bottle Ship is a clone of the original Ridley, the one that is frozen in Metroid Fusion.

[@megakirby64]

***** The Ridley in Fusion is Ridley X, an X parasite host, not the real Ridley.

[@GalacticGfriend]

Just so you know regarding Metroid Prime 4 (temp.) the positions mentioned on the Retro Studios SNS account are the only ones for the project. All other positions that are listed on the official website and not on the SNS page are for unannounced projects by Retro Studios. This isn't a leak or a rumor just a conclusion based off of correct information.

[@jellosapiens7261]

The thing that I think everything forgets about Other M is that the plot of the game itself was actually really solid (in my opinion at least). Samus's characterization was TERRIBLE, but I thought the story was fairly engaging.

[@CaliberStone]

Eh...that's debatable too, I think. Adam's "perfect military mind" from Metroid Fusion doesn't look so perfect after literally all but one of his squad, including himself, gets straight up murdered on one mission. The whole thing with the non-freezable Metroids also didn't make sense because, as we saw, Adam DID freeze them. Samus's fetish with "the baby" was also ridiculous, as if her only defining feature is that she's a woman and women have kids. And why did she freeze up when she saw Ridley? This is nearly the fifth or sixth time she's fought this giant dragon, each whooping it's ass handily, and yet now she's suddenly frightened? Doesn't make much sense. Also..."The Deleter." That is just a dumb name for an assassin.

[@zenith_blade3299]

yea well nobody will be pleased. some will like it, some will hate it. For those that hate the game, the company that made Ninja Gaiden and nintendo wont care cuz they think its good. maybe im wrong on that but thats my thought. My brother and I liked it, and we arent easy to impress either.

[@gamingawesomeness222]

The premise of the story - Samus going to investigate an EXTREMELY suspicious Sos call, meeting up with adam, anthony and co, trying to deal with the natural awkwardsness on top of the physical and mental stress of her previous mission, finding out the federation is breeding metroids which is VERY illegal, and stupidly dangerous, and workign together to stop MB - THAT holds promise, but the way they carried it out does not work in the slightest.

[@breadwinnerkam1658]

im glad someone else thinks this had a great story

[@dovahchief5631]

From what I have seen other m takes place after super Metroid in terms of timeline.

[@novareee2464]

Idk about the rest of you, but I played nearly every Metroid prior to Other M, and I still really love it for the sake of it being Metroid. The gameplay was actually interesting, it was a really good 3D callback to the 2-dimensional games like Fusion/Zero Mission. Exploration wasn't all that bad either; for me Metroid was all about collecting, but even an 8-year-old can figure out that you can't get absolutely everything until you know you're near the last boss and have all your stuff. The music..can't say much, this is the only theme that really stood out because its a classic. Idk why all of you are getting your panties in a bunch about the story. Samus IS a badass, no one can argue with that. Canonically, she's narrating what "happened" (note past tense) on the Bottleship, which contained: Ridley's rebirth, Adam's death as well as the death of almost an entire TEAM of people that she felt responsible for, AND the return of Metroids. Imagine that she's narrating all this right after the events, it'd make sense that she's still getting out of a Heroic BSOD moment. Or would you rather have a static character that never learns from their past experiences? I'm not saying the story's bad, I just wish Other M had a lot more content in it.

[@Tetra_76]

The only good to come out of this game.

[@bhall181]

Ridley, The hardest God Damn Boss in all of Metroid Other M, it took me 3 days and about 10-20 trys to finally get him. I never had problems with ridley in Any of the other Metroid Game, they really buffed ridley up in this metroid game.

[@TheHenriGame]

Apparently Ridley has no style according to Anthony.

[@discordant8543]

Anthony's right though, no style, didn't even make sure Anthony was dead.

[@TheHenriGame]

Death Man, Other M story is so ridiculous.

[@discordant8543]

Aye, but this song and Ridley's entrance was badass

[@TheHenriGame]

Death Oh, Ridley's entrance? Do you mean that whole scene when Samus freaked out from seeing Ridley back to life? (even tho he came back to life a lot of other times)

[@discordant8543]

Where did I say anything about samus? I said Ridley's entrance, not samus' panic attack. You know? The magma flowing and Ridley stepping in?

[@loverofjesusMKII]

Other M....at least you gave us this song....

[@stenredfield3045]

This theme was the only good thing to come from that shit game, in my opinion.

[@shygeist]

Thanks for saving the galaxy innumerable times samus!

[@jamesdouglas66]

I have heard this theme before on Metroid fusion when you set a course for the station to fall into the planet SR388

[@TimPhanda]

this was a pretty good game but it was not a good Metroid game.

[@TheHenriGame]

Phandabear EXACTLY

[@TheHenriGame]

Sirknobbles 10k I mean, it all depends what is a true metroid game for you

[@TheHenriGame]

Sirknobbles 10k She didn't spoke for a good reason. Her Other M monologue was so boring to listen to! There was no soul into that.

[@TheHenriGame]

Sirknobbles 10k Yeah, like, the problem was that she sounded very... unenthusiastic about everything. I swear, my history teacher has more energy than that voice actress.

[@WildSableye]

The gameplay wasn't bad, but the story is...blegh. Whether or not it's considered a Metroid game it was blegh. It's definitely gotten more hate for tainting the Metroid Universe with it's odd character changes and convoluted, overly "symbolic" decisions, but I still discount the story as trying too hard to be interesting.

[@JamsandTea]

Amen to that, brother.

[@yukinonfan]

Only good thing about this piece of shit game

[@dominikschneider1478]

+Treize why shit game?

[@theblazingenesect2.010]

+Dominik Schneider metroid is good! To me that is.

[@dominikschneider1478]

TheBlazinGenesect 2.0 would like to know why others think

[@Ace-jm3zt]

+Dominik Schneider Treize means just Other M. They fucked up HARD and essentially spat in the face of every nintendo fan when it came out. It made the badass Samus Aran destryer of planets turn out to be a whiny bitch who would stop breathing if Adam told her too. Yeah she has ptsd from Ridley killing her parent yet she had already killed him like 3 times over at that point and knows that he doesn't ever fully die. It also didn't have very good gameplay as well. I depise this game along with other fans for how it made Samus out to be. Just look at my name, and you'll see why i hate it.

[@dominikschneider1478]

Sammy Aran is Bae they dont need to fan serve you. they make a game wich should be playable by anyone. turning her into a whiny bitch? why not? no problem with that. the gameplay was fluid and very nice in my opinion. no hate on that. and i have no problems with samus aran beeing bae. is that something bad nowadays? beeing a bae?

[@Sableye343]

Seriously. This game was great and the music is fantastic.

[@Zopharlol]

Shitty game. Great theme.
