| Smeags said: The article's title definitely goes for hits doesn't it? Not too surprising. But no, Metroid: Other M didn't ruin Samus Aran. She'll be back, and judging by the critic/fan response, it won't be in the same vein as Other M (which is fine by me, since I'm finding the best part of Other M to be when the "main" game is over. But if anyone is looking for another game to calm their Metroid urges, the three Castlevania games on the DS are awesome Metroid-like experiences. Highly recommended. ^_^ |

It's not a matter of critical response. If that were the case, they would have kept churning out Prime clones or Super clones. What likely will be the end of the Other M epoch (though hopefully not entirely, as i found the basic gameplay setup to be the ideal of 3D Metroid) is the fact that it will languish in the same sales trap as other Metroid titles. Radical change is always an attempt to spur sales growth, and when it fails, you try something else
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
