Commercials show off both action and drama sides of Samus' latest adventure. UPDATED.

Two commercials for Metroid: Other M have been posted to the official Japanese Metroid website.  The first features several cutscenes relating to Samus' past, including scenes not shown until now.  Our Japan Correspondent, Matt Walker, has translated the first trailer, which you can watch below.

Samus	ă‚ă‚Œă‹ă‚‰ă©ă‚Œăă‚‰ă„ç”ŒăŁăŸăźă ă‚ă†ă‹ïŒŸ	How long has it been since then...?
	ćčŒăă—お䞥èŠȘă‚’ć€±ăŁăŸç§ăŻćžžă«æ„ćœ°ă‚’ćŒ”ă‚Šćżƒă‚’é–‰ă–ă—ăŸă€‚	I've always been stubborn and closed myself off to people since I lost my parents when I was young.
Adam	ç•°è«–ăŻăȘいăȘ、レィディ。	Any objections, lady?
Samus	ćŸ ăŁăŠăă‚Œă‚ąăƒ€ăƒ ïŒ	Wait, Adam!
	ć°‘ă—ă ă‘æ™‚é–“ă‚’ăă‚ŒăȘă„ă‹ïŒŸ	Can't you give me a little more time?
	私はćčŒă™ăŽăŸă€‚	I was too young.
	ç„ĄèŒ¶ă‚’ćŻ„ă›ïŒ	Don't be unreasonable!
	ă‚ăŸă‚Šă«ă‚‚ć­äŸ›ă ăŁăŸă€‚	I was such a child...

The second commercial creatively links the gameplay control of the original Metroid game with Other M, morphing from the former to the latter.  It ends with the catchphrase, "Metoroido Omoroido," which is a play on "omoroi," meaning fun or exciting.  The phrase was originally used in the Japanese Metroid II commercial 18 years ago.

A US commercial will also be airing.  The commercial features a live-action rendition of Other M.  [UPDATE: The US commercial is now on the Nintendo Channel and can be found below.]  Gameplay commercials  have also begun airing in the UK.

Metroid: Other M releases on August 31 in North America, September 2 in Japan and Australia, and September 3 in Europe.

That Metroid II commercial is too awesome for words.

Hmm, long hair Samus or short hair Samus. Decisions, decisions.


Always nice to see the Spartan looks of a Japanese video game box art. It's just a big close up of Samus in the Power Suit. Er, assuming that is the box art.

Enner: It is.  You can see it in our artwork gallery for the game.
Neal: You should see the Metroid and Super Metroid commercials!

Great.  Just great!!!

I love the American Ad. LOVE IT 

Japan ad 1: All CGI -meh
Japan ad 2: neat transition from NES to Wii, and nice way to show control method


However USA is still #1

I am so depressed that I'm totally broke and can't buy this game anytime soon.

That US commercial is just cringeworthy.

That US commercial is just cringeworthy.

Remember how bad the Metroid Prime 3 ad was with the airport. Its sort of funny in retrospective

The original Metroid Prime ad is pretty cool and Other M is spiritual sequel in ad design.

That US commercial is just cringeworthy.

I thought it would be at first (idk what there obsession with the thumbs down is), but when you see Samus reaching out to the baby, the rest of it gave me chills, it was actually kind of awesome.

[NeoStar9X]

It looked like her younger self was in the middle of doing something and it just looked like a thumbs down I think as you can see other troops moving slowly on the right side of that scene when Samus' back is to us.

[Mop it up]

That Metroid II commercial was great, though it made the game seem a lot more awesome than it really is. At least the NES one showed some footage of the game.

[Enner]

Enner: It is.  You can see it in our artwork gallery for the game.
Neal: You should see the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceoxI8QdcCY">Metroid[/url] and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMUw6EiQOgQ">Super Metroid[/url] commercials!

Ah, it looks so nice. Though, the US cover is just as pretty. Those Japanese commercials for the older games are pretty sweet.

That US commercial is just cringeworthy.

Hmm, I really like the US advert. I found the slo-mo scenes of Samus's past to be really cool. That's probably because I spent quite a bit of time reading all that Metroid back story.

The 30 second UK one is even more cringeworthy.

And the fan made Metroid Movie trailer is another to add to the list, haha. "Metroid Prime...she's back!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-AXYJb133A

That UK one is great cuz it reminds me of all the action figure commercials from the 80's and early 90's.
