Yoshio Sakamoto on Metroid: Other M - this will be a Metroid unlike anything ever experienced before
"Our goal is to provide the most interesting gameplay and deliver the most cool Metroid ever. Retro has their own approach toward Metroid games. They had their own producer. Their approach to Metroid games has traditionally been the FPA — first person adventure — but my concept was kind of different than that and I was looking for a team that could bring my idea to life.
With Fusion, that game was very story-driven. In that game, I believe I was able to explain Samus as a character, as a person, not just somebody in armor. And I was not only explain Samus but the characters around her… with Super Metroid I showed, through her relationship with the baby Metroid, some of her maternal instincts. Between those two stories I feel I was able to explain Samus as a person. But because Metroid equals Samus, I'd like to develop her character further, as a soldier, as a human, also as a woman. That's what they're (Team Ninja) hoping to do with Other M. Will create a new Metroid unlike anything ever experienced before." - Nintendo's Yoshio Sakamoto
