Even though we don’t know when the 3DS will be released, we do know one thing about about a highly anticipated title for the system. At Konami’s Tokyo Games Show press conference, Hideo Kojima confirmed that the game won’t be released until next year. This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, as Kojima did say at E3 that he was still experimenting with the system. Hopefully it’ll be out sooner rather than later, though!

Metroid Other M

– Craig liked the game
– He had been skeptical
– Peer thought the game got better as it went on, but feels the Prime games were better
– Peer doesn’t feel like Other M doesn’t always sound like a Metroid game
– He’s still happy that he got the game
– Only reason to shoot the enemies now is to see secrets in the room
– Craig hates the reason why Samus can’t use her weapons
– Some podcast members didn’t like the d-pad controls
– Craig talked to Sakamoto a few months ago, who said he wanted to make a game where it’s like playing a NES game
– Craig asked Sakamoto why not use the Classic Controller, Sakamoto said that it doesn’t come with the system
– Apparently the original intention was 2D, but according to Sakamoto’s story, Team Ninja came to him with a prototype, which he liked, though the 3D off-rails stuff was working well
– At face value it’s a great game
– Craig thinks if they added nunchuck controls, a lot of problems would have gone away
– Overall Craig highly recommends it
