Honestly, what killed it for me was seeing the Ridely clip online, but NOT Samus's freakout. No, the tipping point was right before that.

Badasses do not gasp like that. It was stupid seeing characters do it in otherwise excellent shows like Gargoyles and Batman the Animated Series, and it's stupid here.

I had trepidations already, but seeing that the writers were going for such hack characterization made me realize they were not going to do her justice. Seeing the other cut scenes just confirmed that for me (listen to her monologes and then watch some clips from the Twilight movies, she and Bella talk the same way).

itll get to a million eventually, itll just a take a lot longer then Ninty thought...

I saw no TV ads in my country. Apart from that, Metroid franchise is losing its strength related to sales, Nintendo should give Samus a rest the same way they did with Donkey Kong.

"getting close to half a million" copies sold in the U.S. That's no flop, but it's also not a blockbuster"

MOM is undertracked in the US confirmed ?

That's what you get for taking the game from Retro Studios, going back to third person and making Samus a crybaby!

This. Samus up until very recently was basically the only badass female character that didn't have any bullshit attached to her. She went in, did her job, and got the hell out. No bullshit no nothing, and always worked alone. She was literally the Gordon Freeman of consoles, which is amazing praise. Then Other M came to be and it ocmpletely turned me off on the entire concept. That and the unlock system and how simple it was thoroughly broke the game for me and I made sure no one I knew spent their money on this Metroid.

It was not the Metroid I was expecting, but liked it very much. Liked the graphics, gameplay, story. It has its flaws, but the biggest one for me was the lack of music. Other than that, a very good game, a diferent Metroid experience but one of the best games on Wii.

People dont like different things, I applaud that Ninty try to do something different instead of just giving us another FP Metroid. and what is this crap about "no ads" if your posting on this site your a core gamer, core gamers dont need commercials to know when something is coming out, thats what internet is for

Not childish enough.

I guess that also holds true for NSMB vs Galaxy.
