I finished it today... bad game. I'll post my review in time.

Well, I went to Gamestop and got my preorder bonus. I was really impressed with the material (I mean, considering it's free), but not the content. If I were younger, I'd probably amuse myself by putting one of the Adam portraits on my desk, and a couple of the landscape-y ones look nice, but oh well. If any of you diehard fans are looking to nab this and didn't preorder, hit me up in the trading thread, and maybe I'll milk an NES game out of this.

did any of you guys have truble finding Other M in stores?
(it my birthday the 5th and she says the sold out at Gamestop, target, and Walmart)

@CB: I take it you're interested in Adam's offer?

MAYBE.

Man... I can't believe I'm saying this but Other M is kind of a disappointment to me.

@CB: Well, hop to it, man, it's well worth it (even if Adam doesn't seem to think so )...

@Chrono: What is it about the game that disappointed you? I'm curious to know, especially after all the praise it's received in this thread since its release...

I think I have the opposite of "can't stop playing it" disease: I can't keep playing it. It's too good. And I keep reading comments from people who have beaten it already. I don't want it to end...so I keep breaking off my progress, so that I'll have something for later.

I just finished Sector 1. I am absolutely loving this game. The voice acting is starting to strain itself a bit (barring Samus, who I really feel does a great job), but the atmosphere is fantastic, the room-by-room puzzles pretty tricky, and it's just an overall wonderful experience. Great stuff.

The Best Buy I went to hadn't even put the game out on the floor when I bought my copy yesterday. The employee had to get it from the stock room.

I beat it, thought it was all over, then I saw the percent of items I collected...40%...That's not good is it?

@ballkirby: Wow, that is pretty dismal, you should go back and start collecting them now that all the locations are revealed on your map...

you spelled "great" wrong

That probably explains why I beat it so fast...7 and 1/2 hours I believe. I'll have to double check that maybe
8 and1/2.

sakamoto confirmed that the next metroid will take place after fusion: http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=135156

that's not to say that he's already got the idea for it or anything, it's just that he seems to have said he'd rather to push the story forward next time instead of filling in any more gaps.

@romulux: F*** yeah! Come up with something as soon as humanly possible, Sakamoto!

I wish Team Ninja would've expanded on the 'behind-the-back shooter' style. It could've gave the next game a chance to have a Resident Evil 4-style game by giving the players a bit more of the feel. Many people think they didn't execute it well, so I guess the chances are pretty slim now. D:

i liked the re4 cam too. i was kind of surprised by how much it felt like leon at times, but they really didn't choose when to use it very well, for instance, when you're in a safe room with other marines present, it's not really tense enough to understand why they chose that mode.

Man, it's amazing how many people will just write off a game based on other people's opinions without even bothering to try forming their own (I'm referring to a commenter on that goNintendo article). Not to mention he actually bought into the whole "sexism" bit. I pity that fool...

...Chances are this will be Dread. Come out with it already! T_T
Would love to see a 2-D Metroid game on the 3DS.
