Metroid: Other M Website online

The official Japanese Metroid site changed it's layout from the Metroid Prime Trilogy layout to a simple teaser site for Metroid: Other M with some sad piano music in the background. The image was already shown in the offical trailer.



I don't know. I despise movie like games and I didn't like Metroid Fusion too much, Metroid is about exploration and action. Discovering alien worlds all alone and blasting all alien lifeforms away on the progress. Collecting hidden Energy Tanks and Missile Packs. That's Metroid. Metroid: Other M looks more like some schmaltzy movie. Team Ninja's cutscenes will be absolutely beautiful, no doubt about that, but there's much doubt about if the game will be as satisfying as any game of the amazing Metroid Prime Trilogy. The gameplay isn't even defined yet. Is it 2D or 3D, 3rd person or 1st person? It looks like it's all of it. But how will that work out? And with all the focus on story, will it be as terribly linear as Fusion was? Because that would be disappointing.

Well, I'm very skeptical about this game. But I'll definitely give it a chance, when it comes out. It's Metroid after all. It's reported that the game is scheduled to be released in summer. (Source).

About the site. What happened to the "Another side story coming soon, from the perspective of the Space Pirates" teaser? Remember? That was a year ago. They just can't tease us like that and then give us nothing at all.
