My Prediction:

13 Weeks: 1,320,000

Lifetime: 2,450,000

Metroid: Other M seems to be well advertised, so could in fact surpass Metroid Prime's sales. Fingers crossed it becomes the best selling in the franchise.

Wow. That boxart is amazing. I think I'm just gonna print this one to replace the NA one (like I did with Sin and Punishment).

Sweet mother of freaking God, Marian Jozeph, angels in heaven have bloody mercy on my soul that is one awesome box art you found there, TC! So simple yet full of life.

Great thread, already preordered and just cost me $30  =D

Heres something I Knew about a long time ago but I thought I'd share it with yall

Its not related to Other M but is still Metroid.This is a speech apparently found in the original iso of Metroid Prime that explain the story of the first Metroid.       >

Some people says this is real, others say that it was fake. But to me, it really sounds like Jennifer Hale (Samus' Voice Actress in the Prime series) and the speech is somewhat similar to the one in Brawl.Still its funny to hear Samus talkin about herself in the third person.

Your opinion is horrible.

^ The important thing about that speech is that if it was real, they cut it ;)

The only problem with that speech, though it does definitely sound like Jennifer Hale, is that it claims that Tallon IV was already under suspicion as a Space Pirate colony, whereas the beginning of Prime states that she went there intercepting a distress signal (from the crippled Frigate Orpheon, no doubt), and that the only reason she even went down to Tallon IV was to pursue Meta Ridley

Perhaps it comes from a rather early point in development, when the finer points of story hadn't been smoothed out. Great find anyway. Keep it up :)

Wow, that artwork is impeccable. Clean, stylish, and immediately communicative of the purported focus on Samus' character.

Exited is what I am.

Thanks to MysticWolf, we now have that Japanese Nintendo Channel Other M interview footage with English subtitles!
