It looks visually appealing to me, at least on youtube. However the running-animation
-speed seems incconsistent. And the action is a bit too fast for a good taste. Thus it seems some action is automated and lacking decent depth. But it can only be better than prime.

Higher quality at metroid.com.

Looks sick. I was unsure about this game because of the insipid Final Fantasy-inspired storytelling, but now I'm sold. Gameplay is what counts anyway.

Samus apparently learned kung-fu!

Hated by all

This trailer is mindblowingly sick.

Hopefully, we'll have some fast-paced badass action. Speed Booster is great. Hopefully, we'll see some shinespark in action (whether the developers made it so that it consumes HP during transit, we'll find out).

That scene with Mother Brain.... kinda reminds me of what happened in the Sulaco's last scene in Aliens. If only Samus said "Get away from her, you bitch" like Ripley said it (only in that instance, Newt and Bishop didn't die)... would be made of gold, but that's not gonna happen.

And about the controller scheme... it makes me feel like I need to play some Super Paper Mario before this. Living it off old-school. Yup. I'm done saying senseless stuff.

I also love that swampy forest area. It looks amazingly good. I wish Metroid Prime had more areas like that.

Also, ice area.

Yeah I like it a lot better than Tallon Overworld but I'm sure that after getting lost for a while I'll start to hate it.

I guarantee the title for a review will be "Mettroid:Other M: Bad Name, Great Game"

Yeah, I'm hoping that's NOT the case..... and highly doubt it will be.

I think at this point, given that this is a flagship Nintendo title, it's virtually guaranteed that the game will be good. However, we'll see how much it pleases the Metroid fanbase. That's a different story.

You need to watch Aliens3. Sadness abounds in that movie.

Also, I'm practically sold on the game now. The controls seem to have been implemented well. I just hope the camera works well. That's the only thing now that could make me only rent this instead.

I watched it a couple of weeks ago. That movie was good (despite the most infamous part at the opening when two of our beloved survivors die brutally and seems to be the only reason why everyone hates it), just something from the company derailed it (I was awfully surprised that David Fincher disowned it of all things). Tell me you saw the Assembly Cut and thought it was better. Resurrection was just awful to the point when I'd rather watch Army of Darkness over it any day (it's the third installment in Evil Dead if you don't know).

you're saying army of darkness is a bad film? blasphemy.

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

Army of Darkness is fantastic. "I'm the bad guy; you're the good guy" *Doink! - Pokes eyes*

I'm gonna have to agree with playerman, and get some Paper Mario practice in, to get used to the rapid flipping between different controller positions again.

Looks like she automatically locks on to enemies.

I'm still not convinced.

keep in mind that news will probably speed up as we get closer to release. although april isn't much closer to june than march is in terms of game release periods so you may be right.
