Seriously? It's still July.

The game launches on August 31, so I'll probably get my review copy a week in advance and post the review on launch day or whenever the inevitable embargo drops.

Being in Australia, I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to US release dates. Though yes it is still a bit early now I know the release date.

Halbred · « **Reply #727 on:** July 23, 2010, 01:12:21 PM »

Australia? Wow. I admit to being jealous--you're surrounded by a treasure trove of reptiles and archaeic mammals.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #728 on:** July 23, 2010, 02:31:51 PM »

Also platypus.

Don't forget platypus.

Halbred · « **Reply #729 on:** July 23, 2010, 03:36:45 PM »

What part of "archaeic mammals" doesn't include the platypus?

vudu · « **Reply #730 on:** July 23, 2010, 03:50:49 PM »

The part that's not a real word.

I flip into this thread randomly, and people are talking about sexualizing Birdo (OHGAHMYEYES). Randomly flip to this page, and people are talking about platy...pi (?) and Australia.

Now subtitled.

Great videos. The developers give the philosophy behind their game and yet reco'nize that it's an important franchise; they discuss the need for the fire button to immediately fire despite the need to animate it quickly, the no doubt many cutscenes to come, and trying to 'womanize' Samus; the part about the context-sensitive actions, like a defensive jump or a 'fatality' attack make this game at least sound pretty unique.

Halbred · « **Reply #733 on:** July 23, 2010, 06:04:25 PM »

Well, Team Ninja certainly knows how to "womanize" their characters. I look forward to that, anyway.

I wonder if this game is successful will Team Ninja work on a Ninja Gaiden game for the wii?

All right, here you go:

Metroid Other M will be the best Metroid game since Metroid Prime, which wasn't as good as Super Metroid, which isn't as good as Metroid Other M.

No.

More like a Ninja Gaiden game for the 3DS I'll bet. Wii is becoming close to a lame duck console now. I doubt we will have very many major releases coming out after this year for Wii besides the possible Dragon Quest X (which may or may not actually come to Wii at this point).

Mop it up · « **Reply #737 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:21:02 PM »

Why does everyone act like the 3DS is the successor to the Wii?

Sarail · « **Reply #738 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:31:23 PM »

It's not a successor, it's just that it's more powerful than the Wii. Which makes the Wii look terrible in terms of being a home console.

Mop it up · « **Reply #739 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:38:38 PM »

Have the specs of the system even been released?

They're two different markets, basically, I don't think anyone will be comparing the two. Nintendo certainly isn't going to ditch the Wii gold mine in favour of 3DS projects; if anything changes, it will move to Nintendo's next home system, if it's coming soon. And it might just be.

As for third-parties, they aren't going to favour the 3DS over Wii any more than they favour the current DS over Wii.

Sarail · « **Reply #740 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:40:21 PM »

True. But I would think with the shader capabilities of the 3DS, it's going to appear more powerful... and honestly, it does.

I think Dragon Quest X is going to move over to Nintendo's next console, though. No 3DS.

Halbred · « **Reply #741 on:** July 24, 2010, 09:05:05 PM »

Fewer polygons, more effects than GameCube or Wii.

Actually, on a smaller screen, you're not going to notice the anti-anti-aliasing.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #742 on:** July 25, 2010, 02:18:32 AM »

Meh, I'll wait until it's out for a final judgment. Still very negative though.

Played Metroid at Comicon. Enjoyed the voice acting and the graphics very much. Auto shooting is awesome and the D-Pad in 3D space is just fine. No one else was complaining either. It was very difficult for me to get used to pointing the remote though. I saw many people have trouble with it as well. Because the host kept telling people to aim by pointing. She didn't know what the heck she was talking about, because in many of those sections auto aim was what was necessary. I realized I just could not point at the screen in such a quick draw fashion. But I did see one kid playing, he made it look effortless. I just watched and watched, I think he played several times and just understood it better than anyone else.

I played just enough to learn how to dodge and do epic moves, which was really awesome because I didn't have to rattle my brain over complex buttons. A super plus in my book.

Halbred · « **Reply #744 on:** July 26, 2010, 12:44:19 AM »

Caterkiller, you made me very happy.

bustin98 · « **Reply #745 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:00:31 AM »

One more mention about the 3DS: The anti-aliasing is to improve the 3D effect. There would be a weird wobbling effect around the outline of every curved surface if the pixels don't line up. Smoothing the lines will make for a clear representation, even at a small level.

Metroid:
I don't think I'm sold on Samus having a voice. The voice over in a video I saw made me think 'That's not what she is supposed to sound like'. I have years of a pre-determined voice for her though.

Sarail · « **Reply #746 on:** July 26, 2010, 09:09:53 AM »

I've always pictured Samus sounding something like Sigourney Weaver.

Because there are a lot of Resident Evil games on the DS. Or, you know, any of the other major games that third parties have announced for the 3DS.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #748 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:56:01 PM »

DS has had a lot of major third party games too.

Nintendo Power sent me a really cool Other: M poster for having a subscription. One side has her in the power suit with zero suit Samus standing at the side with the image of outer space in the back ground. The other side of the poster has Samus in her power suit pinning down a reptilian creature and preparing to blast it with her gun. By Team Ninja developing this game, I wish they would have included a swimsuit poster of Samus with big boobs.
