Other M is essentially a reboot itself. It's the first 3D Metroid from Sakamoto, a high budget collaboration... it's kinda not all that much different from going from Metal Gear to Metal Gear Solid or Ninja Gaiden NES to Ninja Gaiden Xbox. I wish Treehouse had been allowed to a more active role. I think they could've definitely salvaged things. |
That's not true. Those series last had games during the 5th generation (save for the SNES NG Trilogy). Skipping a generation or so allowed the audience to accept major changes. So Prime was more like those things, while this game was a major change in the same generation.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
