“We wanted to place Samus back in the more traditional lineage of Metroid. We wanted to do it in a way that had a harder edge, and we wanted to go deeper into her story and more into this Metroid mythology. As we looked at our resources to do that, we could have done a fine job on our own but we saw the Team Ninja route as a way of adding a little extra special sauce if you will to make it a really compelling experience.

One of the pieces of feedback that I’ve heard is that as we made that announcement, that there were a lot of development teams and publishers who started to say to themselves, ‘Wow, Nintendo is open to these types of partnerships. Let’s think of other ideas to bring forward,” which I find exciting.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

I really was impressed with the first Metroid: Other M trailer in that the game looks to be providing well-rounded gameplay. The title will feature more of a 2D experience, but there will also be some FPS elements.

“Our goal is to provide the most interesting gameplay and deliver the most cool Metroid ever. Our goal in developing Other M is to deliver the kind of Metroid that all fans want to play. Metroid has definitely been one of those games where as the player progresses through the story you can really feel yourself powering up. You can really feel Samus evolving in terms of her abilities. I’d like to maintain that essence of the Metroid series. In addition, just the feel of the game, by being in there, the emotional experience for the player is something I feel responsible to maintain true to. [Project M] Will create a new Metroid unlike anything ever experienced before.” – Yoshio Sakamoto

Very strong words from Mr. Sakamoto. I’ve liked what I saw from the first trailer for Other M, but the developers at Project M have a lot to live up to. The Prime games provided some of the best experiences in the Metroid universe.
