Can someone explain to me why people are so excited about Metrid Other M (not just on this site apparently), when it's being made by a developer unproven to the franchise?

Also, I may be wrong, but there aint very much info about the principal design and style of the game yet, right? No gameplay trailers and that kind of stuff either.

So what do u all base your hype on?

It's a collaboration. Team Ninja is involved but it's still very much helmed by Nintendo and Sakamoto.

Also we do know about thr style and design from interviews. Sakamoto said it's like the older games but with some action sequences like what was in the trailer.

As for why people are excited, take your pick:

- First console Metroid made by Nintendo since Super Metroid in 1994
- Story is expanding on Samus and the Metroid universe, which people have wanted to see for ages
- It's not a Prime
- Team Ninja is involved
- It's primarily 3rd person, which people were expecting since before Prime
- It's a new Metroid game. This is reason enough alone.

Those are quite good reasons. I was just wondering because I read that that Malmstrom guy said Metroid M was a stupid direction for Nintendo to take and  that it's gonna fail.

....and you listen to Malstrom because....?
