Who honestly knows. It's just an awful game through and through.
This pile of shit was $20 within weeks of release. It's a contender for worst ever price collapse of a Nintendo published title.
Exactly
I agree with this.
Is tomorrow "Worst Game in your Franchise" day or something?

Yes, it's been out in other regions for months, similar to Other M. 3DS is getting Demon's Crest.
Nah, they are just getting Other M 2 with more plot and dumb design choices for post-launch of the system.
I'm half joking of course but they really don't know what to do with Metroid, so you never know :l.

For a game that reviewed "well", probably.
I also bought the Animal Crossing game on Wii U just because it came with 2 amiibos and was so cheap.

At least Star Fox Zero had 2 games for the price of 1
Other M was like half a game for the price of 2
Please donate to cerny so that he can make the knack trilogy we deserve.

Reminder that Team Ninja makes a series about ninjas in bikinis where the entire point is to oogle almost-naked women and that series is only about one tenth as sexist as Metroid Other M.
That one fact and the way it makes me smile at the absurdity of it all is the most enjoyment I get out of this rancid excuse for digital entertainment.

And with Humble Bundle you'd get better games while doing it!

For only $20 you can relive this this Death of a Franchise! Watch in real time the character assassination of one of gaming's best female icons!
Wait, they haven't put Metroid Prime Hunters on the VC yet?
Shame, because it's a much better game than Other M.
yooooo

They put out Hunters. They haven't put out Pinball

It's a fun game other than the forced first person parts

Never played this, I always see critique about the story, but what's the gameplay like?

oh okay, that would have been strange if they skipped it
And oh man, I forgot about Pinball! That game was great, and also much better than Other M!

Ok. I'm psyched. I'm sick of people whining about this game and saying how bad it is. I've been dying to play this for myself and if I don't want to cut my hands off when I'm done then I'll be severely disappointed.
I know the plot is garbo tier but I really think this game had great gameplay ideas that could be learned from.

I borrowed this game a few months ago from a friend.
Got an hour into and then put it down for ever. Even aside from the questionable narrative, the control scheme is so absurdly backwards it makes you scratch your head wondering what they hell they were thinking.

Well FUCK REALLY?
That $99 New 3DS seems really tempting*
*I already have Demon's Crest on my Wii U VC

It's an OK game but from a series of almost exclusively specticular games I can see why many hate it. It's very polished with decent art, combat, graphics and sound design. The mainly linear progression and map design was a big departure for the series, much worse than Fusion. The awful story and horrendous characterisation of Samus was the game's biggest offence by far.
Never properly experienced this, so maybe I'll bite. Or maybe I'll wait for the Switch release. In which case I'll wait for a discount. Assuming I still care to try this 3 years down the road when that happens.
I keep saying I'll actually play this someday, but it's difficult to get the motivation.

I thought that was ok, faaar from the worst story stuff in the game, im surprised the subtlety they went with that crazy concept because Ridley never spoke :O
As for the game, it should be $10 at most on VC, at that price its a joke.

I concur: a better use for $20 would be to give it to charity.
Or to run it through the shredder.

Other M is an actual Nintendo game though, there could be a few cents to be made from this. Im just wonder about the price, its too high!
