The Elitist
Killing Aliens, Liberating Worlds, Saving the Galaxy. These things are-all-in-a-days work for the beautiful and powerful Samus Aran; and it would seem that her skills are being called upon once again. Team Ninja, the renowned creators of Ninja Gaiden, have teamed up with Nintendo to create the next installment to the Metroid franchise. Metroid: Other M. So far all we have really seen are a few cinematic trailers and a short game play trailer. However, on Saturday, a new game play trailer was released! and it looks really, really awesome.
So damn cool. This trailer gives us a dose of the old weapons and power-ups that are iconic to Metroid, as well as the new style of outlandishly awesome acrobatics that Team Ninja is so good at creating. In my opinion this just screams: Great Freaking Game.
The combos and awesome that Samus acts out are just.... well... awesome.
I could not be more excited for this game. The First-Person-Shooter Metroid additions were a novelty at first, but I was never able to make it through one of the games, they were simply too.. big. They had the basic Metroid principles of running around, killing bosses, getting weapons and finding secrets. The problem in the 3D FPS versions is that, a 3D environment means a allot more space to find secrets. Where as with the 2D worlds, provided a admittedly less interactive world, but a world easier to handle. I was always able finfish one of the 2D games (the original game, and the remake on the GBA, Metroid Fusion etc) and I enjoyed the hell out of them . This game looks like a beautiful hybrid of the two. It has the aspect of the FPS's that made them unique as well as the nostalgic 2D feel from the old Metroid games that captured our imaginations back in the day. The weapons are just the same, and the new features that Team Ninja brought to the table make this seem like an awesome addition to an already brilliantly successful franchise. The game is set to release August 31, 2010.
I said awesome a lot....
