Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo trying to figure out ehy Metroid Other M didn't sell

psychoBrew on 13 November 2010

I didn't buy Other M for a few reasons, including way too many long cut scenes, awkward and pointless switching from 2D to 3D, and the inability to actually aim.  The production values looked great, but I usually don't care for this style of gameplay.  Also, it's only a 10 hour game.  Games that length really need an online mode or something to extend gameplay.

Shit gameplay.

Probably because it wasn't as good as the Prime games. From story, to actual gameplay, to length, it just didn't hit that mark on the measuring stick that reads "awesome" whereas Prime was well above it.

It has sold fine. It's a good game, not the best, but good. It was well advertised. 

This isn't Mario or Zelda Nintendo, it'l reach a milion soon...

What was so great about the gameplay?  You tap the D-pad constantly during any fight and you're safe 99% of the time, with the added bonus that it charges your beam for easier kills to go alone with near-immortality.  Oh and you get auto-aim, just to suck the last bit of effort the player may have needed to win.

Yeah, but it felt fun and exhilarating. It felt to me like an adventure playing it. There was nothing wrong with the gameplay. The presentation, or the way it was executed, was poor.

Simple Answer: It wasn't what Metroid fans wanted.



Pixel Art can be fun.
