I just finished Metroid: Other M. I expected to feel somewhat disappointed after playing it but I'm not disappointed at all! I'm seriously depressed. That's because I loved it.

The authorising part was annoying at first but later I didn't think about it much (It still is bad/lazy game design though, imho). But the rest. Oh boy. It's one of few cases where I've sunk completely into a game (or anything!). There's so much stuff going on inside my skull that I have a hard time staying 100% focused on something longer than 15 minutes. Other M made me do it! And I felt shocked when I had beaten the game. What, I'm done already!? I've played for ~5hours at the most. My total playtime was 10 and a half hour. Woot!? And it was like 6:30 in the morning. Oops.

Ok, enough about that.

So, why am I depressed? The game ended? No, that's not it. It's because I loved the story-heavy Metroid but I also love Metroid Prime. I want both. I can't choose one over the other!

That's why I'd like Nintendo to have two dedicated Metroid teams. One (preferably Retro Studios) should make the Prime kind of Metroid. Another should make story-heavy Metroid. We (well, I ) need both! I'm not saying that one should be main and one should be spin-off, mind you. Think 2D Mario and 3D Mario!

Seeing how Other M divided the Metroid crowd (like Prime somewhat did before) this would be the best solution imho. Everyone gets their share of Metroid awsomeness!

Believe in coexistence!!!

Yay!(?)

I love Prime and I consider it the best trilogy I have ever played. and love the NES, GB and SNES titles

I rented Other M and ended up disappointed, although a good game, it didn't feel like Metroid to me.

I want to know what that ship was doing following Samus' ship for getting the 100% ending.

Wasn't the rumored Metroid Dread related to that? Or maybe not...

I want a 2.5d Metroid game with a graphical style similar to Other M.  Most of all, I want it FUCKING MASSIVE, if Super Metroid could be done on a SNES cartridge, a gargantuan world could be done on a 2GB 3DS card.

METROIDVANIA!!!

I didn't particularly like prime it captured the feel of metroid well, but still wasn't very enjoyable for me... I liked super metroid...  though not to the extent of everyone here. I've always liked Castlevania more (Not the 3d ones...)

I haven't played other M. I might play it because the gameplay's by team ninja (I love Ninja Gaiden, And the Dead or Alive Series).But their stories/artstyle were pretty bad, and not even campy bad, but bad bad.

So maybe other M fixed that, or maybe it didn't as some people on this site say... I probably shouldn't have came in this thread until I play it :P

But hasn't Other M performed poorly? And is retro even going to want or be forced to go back to the metroid IP again. I'd prefer they create their own IP and see what comes of it. But that's a different topic

I think it might go in a different direction than other M or Prime. But that's not really a guess based on anything more than just a hunch

I have a dream, that one day, Retro will develop a new 2D Metroid game as a launch title for the Wii 2, and it will have graphics like this music like this.

A man can dream, can't he?

Damn... I'm the only one for Pinball 2... >_>

I finished Metroid Other M and was really disapointed that i finished it in one day. (I played from 9am to 3am the next day non stop)!   I also have trilogy but only completed metroid prime 1. I didnt quite like 2 and 3 as much as 1. I think if they were going to make a  new metroid game they should make other m 2. I enjoyed it alot but it was too short so maybe they could make it longer and less cut scenes more action.
