With the game's imminent release, we give you one more batch of clips.

Recently, Japan received a third 30-second commercial, full of story teasing and the re-emergence of the mysterious female scientist. Japan Correspondent Matt Walker has the translation for you.

Additionally, the English version of the action-heavy "Story Trailer" has been posted by Nintendo, with a quick look at the members of the Federation's 07th Platoon.

A new documentary has the game's directors talking about its development.

A recently-released mini-documentary entitled "Metroid: Other M - The Challenge of Project M" features three of the driving forces behind Metroid: Other M discussing its development.  Series creator Yoshio Sakamoto, D-Rockets' Director of Presentation Ryuzi Kitaura, and Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi detailed their participation in, and philosophy regarding, the Other M project.

Part I

Sakamoto started off by stating that his goal with Metroid: Other M was to create a Metroid game that anyone could pick up and play, including lapsed gamers.  With this in mind, it was imperative that the game need only be controlled with the Wii Remote alone; in fact, Sakamoto was so intent on this design that he was willing to scrap the entire project if it couldn't be done.  He said that he was "obsessed" with figuring out a method of pulling off flashy moves with Samus using only simple NES-style controls.

The Shin Megami Tensei and Trauma Center developer will no longer operate as an independent developer/publisher.

Japanese developer and publisher Atlus Co., Ltd. has been dissolved by parent company Index Holdings, which originally acquired the company on October 30, 2007. The parent company will continue to release games under the Atlus brand, merged with their mobile subsidiary Index, and Atlus will no longer operate as an independent entity. Atlus will no longer be listed on the Japanese stock exchange following the merger on October 1, and Index has the possibility of using Atlus IP for cell phone titles.

It's a quiet week, with all titles fitting on one Nintendo Points card, should you choose to redeem it so.

This week brings us only one WiiWare and three DSiWare games, covering fewer subjects than the usual list of far and wide venues. We're only going to Elastic Land, space, notebooks, and keyboards this time.

If you're desperate for a new WiiWare title, your only option is Tales of Elastic Boy - Mission 1. Said to take full advantage of the Wii Remote controller, you use the pointer to control Elastic Boy's stretchable arms. With a physics engine at the core, this particular superhero's arms can stretch out for use as projectiles to smash enemies. Or you could just jump on them. Lexis Numerique are bringing this title to everyone for 600 Points ($6).

Get ready for the third entry in the series when it hits this year.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is coming out on November 29, according to a recent press release from Nintendo.

This comes after the game's suspicious absence in Nintendo's fall release date press release.

The game takes place 30 years after the events of the first two Golden Sun games, and follows a new groups of heroes who have to save the changed world. It will feature all of the conventions of the earlier games, with magical Djinns that can help you inside and outside of battle.

The two models of the DSi are set to take a price plunge in just a few weeks.

Nintendo has announced plans to drop the prices of the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL systems on September 12. The DSi will fall from $169.99 to $149.99, and the DSi XL will fall from $189.99 to $169.99. The DS Lite will remain at an MSRP of $129.99.

This drop comes as Nintendo plans to unveil the pricing and availability of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS within the next month. No details have been revealed regarding the Nintendo 3DS as of yet, but after the system's launch, Nintendo will have DS systems at five different price points.

The $70 package includes the game, a figurine, a behind-the-scenes DVD, and more.

Disney Epic Mickey is getting the collector's edition treatment according to a recent listing by Toys R Us.

The package, retailing for $70, includes a copy of Disney Epic Mickey for Wii, a 5-inch Mickey figure, a DVD with behind-the-scenes footage and more, a stylized Wii Remote faceplate, and a pair of Wii console skins.

The listing also gives the game a November 15 release date, but it is unknown if that is just a placeholder date or the real deal. It is also unknown is this collector's edition is exclusive to Toys R Us or not.

The watery puzzle game will be revealed at PAX next week.

Nintendo's official website has been updated with a game page for Fluidity, a "water action" title for WiiWare.

The description says the game combines a realistic water physics engine with puzzle gameplay. Liquid water, ice, and clouds will be used for solving puzzles within chapters of an illustrated magical book, called Aquaticus. Further in the game, power-ups and enemies appear, adding complexity to the game mechanics. No screenshots, pricing, or a release date have been made available so far.

Art Academy has gone beyond and above Nintendo's expectations.

Nintendo’s Art Academy has turned out to be quite a hit in Europe, with the game topping the DS charts for two consecutive weeks thus far. The game also sits at number six in the All Formats Top 40 in the UK, despite it seeing supply constraints.

Retailers such as Amazon Marketplace have raised the price of the game as it appears to be quite a hard item to locate. A new television marketing campaign geared towards the game is certainly not helping to calm the demand either.

James Honeywell, Nintendo’s UK product manager for the DS, commented on Art Academy’s success recently. He said, “We have been really surprised and delighted by the reception that Art Academy has received. It shows that by offering new and exciting subjects on DS, people are willing to try something new. We just try to show the products in their best light and ensure that our customers are aware of it.
