How do you feel about the (radical) changes in Metroid:Other M?

I don't imagine that healing will be THAT simple - though it's not quite so bad to be able to heal outside of combat.

It just means that combat can be balanced to be harder now.

Hrm.

Anyway. This isn't as big a change as Metroid Prime had, but I'm still excited exactly because it looks so different. Re-inventing Metroid is kind of what I was hoping for.

I don't think Metroid Prime was a big change at all. It just transitioned the values of 2D Metroid into 3D. In that sense, it was an even smaller change than SMW -> Mario 64.

 

I consider this a bigger change because the values of a Metroid game are changing (though they were somewhat present in Fusion). Nobody played Metroid games for plot or to explore a character.
