Thread title: 
Yoshi is back
Wow, Long and beautiful. At one part is about Sexism. True but I see it everyday so its nothing new.
I like turtles.
Yeah, I read that a while back - pretty soon after release - and thought it brought up some good points.
Anywhere, everywhere
I'm almost certain this has been posted here before, but yeah, it's a great read on how exactly this game fails.
Sadly, as a supporter of the game, even I have to agree that it brings up a lot of good points. I will admit that it has changed my viewpoint on the matter a little, after seeing all of the evidence here and after hearing these things so many times over the last few months all over the internet and from some of you as well.

Still think the game has some merits though, and that the story isn't as bad as it could have been in the end.

other m sucks dick and its story and characterizations are the worst of any video game i have ever played. that guy is spot-on.
I like turtles.
I still think there's good gameplay hidden beneath all the junk.  They came surprisingly close to making Sakamoto's silly little insistence on Wiimote-only work.

Woah! Harsh much... I like Other M but I love the fact that Anthony slides off one of those weird things with his ice thing. He stays alive (The reason why is because my name is Anthony)
red chamber dream
there's just no reason to play that game.

there are way better 2d platformers, way better 3d platformers, way better shooters, way better sci-fi games, way better nintendo games, way better team ninja games, and way better metroid games. total waste of time.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
The best thing about Other M is how much ark hates it.
red chamber dream
i remember having fun with some of the gameplay when i played it but there was just so much bullshit clouding it up that it's not worth ever touching again.
I like turtles.
I totally should've rented it.  Or at least waited another week or so after it came out to buy it for less than half its full price.
Yoshi is back
Well, I almost have completed my 100% run and I'm finding it pretty amusing myself.
my umbrella goes directly to Bankai
heh looks like other m replaced mp2 as ark's most hated metroid game.

replaying the game once in a while is fun for me. doing it at the end of the year was fun because i ended on time (before the year ended)
red chamber dream
nah i like corruption less than echoze.
Yoshi is back
I like the final part of Echoes. The final Ing and Dark Samus 3.
One shall stand, one shall ball.

xD, your a hater like never before. WOW! never seen such a person :P seriously though. I like all metroid, but M2 is mentally special.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
M2 is like the fourth best Metroid game. Maybe third.
Yoshi is back
Nahhh, I hate it. Graphics suck. if there was a choice I'd choose either MP3, MP2 or Other M.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
All three far worse than Metroid 2.

mii is one of my favorites ;(

Not really.

It's better than Super too.
