"It [Metroid] is not compatible with the Wii MotionPlus," said Hayashi. "One of our major goals with this game is beautiful game design and as we were progressing through development we discovered that it [MotionPlus] was actually not working with what we were shooting for. Once you get your hands on a demo and really experience it for yourself, you should understand what I'm talking about."

I find it a bit dissapointing myself but I trust them.

The question is since I dont want to make another thread is how should we abbreviate Metroid: Other M on VGC?

Metroid:OM? MOM? MoM? M:OM? I dont feel like typing out Metroid: Other M all the time even though I actually like the title. =P

I vote for M:OM

looking at the trailer, nope, doesn't need WM+ when I saw the game play footages.

??????????????????? no good.

Just like the Wii Remote/ Nunchuck weren't ideal for every single type of game, I don't think Metroid: Other M is the type of game that needs motion controls -WM+ or otherwise. I'd be happy to play it with the Classic Controller, so long as it doesn't get screwed up.

If the first person perspective is not used very heavily, then i can see what he means. Well, i trust what they say, anyways,cause implementing M+ would've been no big deal

I think typing OtherM is good enough btw

From what i saw, this don't really need WMP, it could be a "bonus" but not something that will affect the game.

Metroid:OM seems good to me

Nope. Has shooting, needs pointer control. This is non-negotiable.

Like famousringo said, plus Metroid Prime 3: Corruption's aiming was perfect without WM+, this game is going to be good as well without it.

Maybe Metroid Wii? Other M is probably just a codename anyways.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
