Sakamoto: Metroid: Other M is a perfect Metroid experience
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
This information comes from the Official Nintendo Magazine…
“It is to fully understand, feel empathy and fight together with Samus Aran. In other words, it is to play Metroid: Other M. I hope you will enjoy playing Metroid: Other M for a perfect Metroid experience… What we asked Team Ninja to do was to properly understand Samus and Metroid and to fully utilise their experience in developing great games. The Prime series, which was developed by Retro Studios, is also a great series, but I was not involved there as the series was developed by other creators who have different perspectives.” – Yoshio Sakamoto, the co-creator of Metroid
Even though there are a lot of doubts about Metroid: Other M – mainly how so much story will affect the game’s experience – it feels nice knowing that Sakamoto is overseeing the project. I don’t think he wants this title to disappoint longtime fans of the series!
Thanks to Robert for the tip!
