One area where Other M can't compare to Retro Studios Metroids is in boot-up sequences. I don't mean that in a very derogatory way; I just thought of it because my wife is finally sitting down to play Corruption (on Trilogy, no less) and the way the game boots up in very elegant and feels extremely powerful.

I guss one thing I have to accept is that the Prime Samus is the one I was thinking of as the canon version of the character, when she actually isn't. I think it highlights an intrinsic difference between the way Easterners and Westerners see Samus.

Why do I think I remember Sakamoto and Team Ninja referring to Samus as "Samus-chan" in an interview?

The combat in other m is where it excells, in comparison to metroid prime series.

In general I have to agree, though it's worth noting that the Prime games took advantage of their mechanics for some excellent boss fights, too. Maybe not as good as one or two in Other M, but still good.
