Yeah, I loved standing in those safe zones for five minutes replenishing my health before you get the Dark Suit.

Why do this? there's save station for that and the rest you just have to avoid being hit

 

[sfried]

Substitute for farming enemies to refill health.

 

[Kard8p3]

HOLY MOTHER FUCKING SHIT!

Seems to be one of the most epic ads nintendo have done, why the fuck isnt this in youtube!!!!!

Ridley and small samus in K-2L <3

Yeah that's how I feel about it too. As awesome as the ad seems to be just based on the Pic I'd think Nintendo would want to put it everywhere.

 

[fireside]

Go to a save station? So I can lose all my health getting to the save station, and then lose it all again getting back to where I was?

So someone from the GT forums was watching a video and got some new Metroid Other M ad. He took a pic of it so here it is

dat add

 

[victreeb3l]

Is this ad on YouTube or anywhere yet?

 

[Kard8p3]

Is this ad on YouTube or anywhere yet?

Nope and for some reason it plays rarely on GT. From what I hear it goes through major events in the life of samus up till the end of Super Metroid. I'd think Nintendo would want to get it out there.

 

[Kard8p3]

Someone over at the metroid database got the new ONM which heavily feature other m. Here some of the info he posted

They Basically said the game plays great ("the gaming equivilant of a Micheal Bay movie, a white knuckle thrillride that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go!").
They expressed some concern over the new Concentration move, as it can be hard to pull off during some boss fights, leading to frequent deaths.
The over the shoulder sections are clunky, and slow the pace of the game.
The music is a bit lacking, favouring tense silence.

They love the bottle ship setting, calling it "one of the tightest, most memorable settings in a metroid game"
The game is roughly 15 hours "if your in a hurry", or double that if you collect everything.

Huh, I don't think you're supposed to use concentration mode in boss fights.

The over the shoulders sections will be crap. I mean, it's pretty easy to see.

15 hours? Awesome.

Soundtrack favouring tense silence? Awesome.

15 hours if you're in a hurry, eh? I'm not too sure about that...

 

[Kard8p3]

As in you think it would be longer than that or shorter if you're in a hurry?

 

[farnham]

what does 15 hours mean

people beat metroid prime in 1 or 2 hours

i wouldnt be able to beat it in 20 hours

/This.

People are gonna beat this game in a few hours, others will take 15+ hours easily.

So will you be doing the review for GT?

 

[TreIII]

HOLY MOTHER FUCKING SHIT!

Ridley and small samus in K-2L <3

Yeah, this game definitely seems to pick up where that manga left off. For some one like me, who fairly liked it, this makes me happy.

Ridley FTMFW.

 

[HylianScribe]

So will you be doing the review for GT?

Nah, not me.

 

[heringer]

I'm thinking it's longer than Super Metroid but shorter than Prime games. That is, if you consider that the average player finish the Prime games in 15~20 hours.

 

[Instro]

/This.

Id imagine on a first play through everyone will be going long. Its not like you can really speed run until you know the maps and locations of everything.

 

[heringer]

/This.

Huh, I don't get it. You mean the game will be relatively long (15+ hours) for most people, right?

"the gaming equivilant of a Micheal Bay movie"

Ewww...

 

[Matchew]

Can you get the manga in english? Did it ever get released in N.America

 

[SuperJay]

Looks like a new video went up today. Metroid and Me (impressive backstory!)

http://www.metroid.com/?cid=metroid_gametrailers

I want to see that ad, though!

I'm guessing they like his movies since they meant it as a compliment.

 

[olimpia84]

Must see that ad...

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Wheres the fucking add, dammit!

No it was not released in NA but is translated in english.
Just google for Metroid Zero Mission official manga, Im sure you will find it (not going to put it here, becuase its probably bannable)
There are two volumes.

 

[Kard8p3]

Everyone else seemed to like this when it leaked a week or so ago.

"... or so I thought..."

sigh. The narration is so cheesy.

 

[BorkBork]

Club Nintendo's Intend to Buy thing is up for this, if people want an extra 10 points.

 

[Easy_D]

"It was as though it was crying specifically for me" <- Cringeworthy.

I see the marketing assault has begun :lol

 

[Teknoman]

Stop worrying about the controls.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Gametrailers has put up a preview for the game
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/preview-metroid-other/702847

Yeah, right now I'm a little bit more confident about controls. The dude who plays seems to not have difficulties controlling Samus. Camera also looks quite responsive.

 

[timetokill]

Stop worrying about the controls.

Yeah personally, I'm not at all worried about how the game will play. I'm worried about how bad the "story"/narration stuff is that I'll have to sit through.

 

[Boney]

Stop worrying about the controls.

.

 

[Poyunch]

I'm pretty sure that's one of the first videos they released.

It wasn't released with the English narration until a few weeks ago and it wasn't until now that it was released as a direct-feed.

 

[Rich!]

Yeah personally, I'm not at all worried about how the game will play. I'm worried about how bad the "story"/narration stuff is that I'll have to sit through.

Same here.

What would be perfect for me is if I could play through it in native japanese with English subtitles. Have no idea if that'll be possible though in either the western or Japanese releases. Sigh.

 

[Teknoman]

Yeah personally, I'm not at all worried about how the game will play. I'm worried about how bad the "story"/narration stuff is that I'll have to sit through.

Yeah thats something to worry about (im not worried about it since that stuff usually doesnt bother me, as long as the voice actors fit) but after all the previews and videos, control worries should be long gone.

yeah okay this makes no fucking sense.

 

[gogojira]

I can't get that ad to come up for anything. I've tried numerous times throughout the day and I keep getting the same cycle of Skittles commercials, Blackberry, and Red Dead.

I want to see the Metroid ad, damnit.

Some are speculating it might have been put up to early so nintendo had them pull it till closer to release.

 

[Teppic]

I never knew you could roll into the mouth and lay bombs inside the last boss in Metroid II.

I'm really looking forward to this game, I think it's going to be awesome. That said though the dialog is really bad. Mother, time to go. Blargh.

 

[Kard8p3]

Yep and the result is a slightly different death which can be seen here

It wasn't released with the English narration until a few weeks ago and it wasn't until now that it was released as a direct-feed.

I'm pretty sure I heard that Samus monologue quite a few time ago. I distinctly remember lines like "any objections lady?" and "I was so young, young and naive, bla bla bla". It probably wasn't direct feed though. Well, maybe it wasn't complete, but I do remember almost all of the lines.

The one leaked a few weeks ago in english is the one that she talks about the events of all the games.

Hmm seems you watched the page opening and not actually the "new" video.

Yeah, that's probably it. :lol

Edit: just watched. Yeah, definitely the new one. Sorry for the confusion. :lol
