Where does the blame fall for Metroid: Other M? Sakamoto or Team Ninja

So he doesn't want to touch Metroid again?
Good decision Sakamoto, I'm glad you are still learning from mistakes.
I may be interested in a new franchise though.

Since when are the Prime games not canon?
Sakamoto said so in an interview about Other M. I'll go look for a link.
EDIT: I found the interview. http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/12/interview-metroid-other-m-producer-yoshio-sakamoto/

I have a feeling you don't really know who Sakamoto is.
That's not learning from your mistakes, that's running away from them.
Sakamoto. Team Ninja were mostly the labor dogs. Sakamoto made most of the final design choices of the game.
Story, characters (and presumably design) and dialogue has blame squarely pointed at pointed at Sakamoto. He's also credited as designer and producer, so you can probably blame him for most of the gameplay missteps too.

I dont think you guys know who sakamoto is if you guys are acting like other M is the first game let alone the first metroid game he has worked on.
The fans.

I loved Sunshine >.>
I've been calling for Miyamoto's resignation since SMS, but we know how tight the Nintendo wolfpack is.
SMS didn't kill everything people loved about Mario as a character, and it was a pretty fun game to boot. It didn't live up to the standards of the franchise, but it was still good.

All I need to know is that he's never touching Metroid again, since he let ZSS exist, let alone Other M. Whether he was the one making those decisions or not (he was), he let it happen.
Make ZSS a new character for a new series if you want, and then-
Metroid reboot, give it to me. Give me the realized potential and lore, instead of just gradually focusing on turning Samus into a submissive waifu.

I do hope he gets a chance to work on Metroid again. He's incredibly important to the creation and advancement of the Metroid series. How many developers can say they've worked in a lead capacity on a series for 25 years? A role kind of like Miyamato currently has with Zelda would be welcomed by me.
Neither did Other M.

I think he insisted that the control scheme was to be wiimote only? If so, then Team Ninja pretty much did the best they could with what was given to them.
Are you kidding me right now brah? Sunshine is the best 3D Mario game ever made.
ill fite u rite now brah.

"create entertainment that's completely different and that brings new emotions."
Dat QOL.

That's odd, I thought one of the Prime games came with a chronology that included the older games. It seems like a odd revision to make. Is there somehow this could be a mistranslation?
Care to explain? I'd like to know why you don't think Samus's character was destroyed.
Retro designed the Prime games to take place between Metroid 1 and 2. Some time between MP3 and Other M Sakamoto decided they weren't canon.

Seriously.
They do. He didn't say they aren't canon. They are just separate canon. Honestly they really don't fit with what's supposed to come after them.

OR...
Nintendo will finally hand off the series to someone with new ideas, but loves it and wants to do it justice.
Mario didn't get PTSD when seeing Bowser, it wasn't up to the normal quality other Super Mario game set, but it didn't ruin any characters
Mama Peach was just a dumb plot point resolved by the end, nothing more
Ah well, I'll have to dig deeper into the stories themselves to see what I make of this. Not too familiar on the intricacies of the timeline.
Still, I'm looking forward to see what he works on next.
Samus' character was hardly explored before Other M. Other M was the first game where Samus' inner thoughts were made privy to such a degree. The character she puts forth to the outside world in Other M is a strong silent badass just like every other game.
She never had 'character' and what they created was based off of a backstory that was made since the first Metroid game. Samus' character now actually makes sense despite it being exaggerated in certain points in Other M.
