Metroid Other M


Have tought about it, but not too sure yet... Is it a good Metroid, or just a good game in general?


Gameplay wise you can't go wrong.  The story is terrible, though.  But you can usually pick up the title pretty cheaply.  I'd also like to add to your growing list of titles, Elebits.  Sometimes the motion controls are a bit wonky...but in general there is a ton of content and a really cool premise.  Oh yeah...the story is even worse than other M...but more forgivable since it isn't freaking Metroid.  btw...I'm sure in your title you meant "a" Wii.

Neither both. Flawed game, consider it when you have nothing else to play, or you are huge ultra mega Metroid fan.


Not a metroid fan and I have plentyyyyyyyyyy to play even more when buying 2 new consoles besides my backlog on PS3.

Have played Elebits, quite a funny game...

on the "a"... isn't Wii reading as if it was an voguel and thus needs an ''an" instead of an "a"??? My english is rubbish so I may be confounding things.

A vocal minority hates it, but my advise is to look some vids and then decide. You can always buy cheap and sell later in case you don't like it. I saw a complete 100% walkthrough before buying and it's now one of my favorites games.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Yes... for cheap it is an idea

Galaxy 1 + 2
Xenoblade
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Zelda: Skyward Sword (though not everyone loves it)
DKC Returns

Are pretty much the essentials. Everything else is sorta gravy. Sin & Punishment and Punch-Out! are solid if you can track them down.

I remember time ago you can buy it for $5 or so.

No...it's a consonant.  You're definitely not the only one to make a mistake like this (I'm looking at you MyNintendoNews). Interestingly enough...if you pronounce it like you have it written it is another word...ennui (more or less).  I'll ask you this....would you eat a watermelon...or an watermelon?  It's the same sound.



Does it have backward compatibility? You should get F-Zero GX and Paper Mario Thousand Year Door. Soul Caliber 2 was pretty good as well and had Link as a playable character.

I'm also watching the price of the following games and waiting the right time to buy:

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Xenoblade

Metroid Prime Trilogy

These games will almost certainly not be dropping in price. But they will probably be sold digitally for $20 on Wii U and future Nintendo consoles, so you could wait till then.
