I’m a very big Metroid fan ever since the first game on the NES and I have been saddened by the direction the series is taking with Other M. Don’t get me wrong, the game play looks ok, nothing exciting for me at this point, but the cut scenes have worried me more some time. Those fears have gotten worse when I saw this video of one of the early cut scenes. http://digitalchumps.com/index.php?option=com_hwdvideoshare&task=viewvideo&Itemid=535&video_id=1120 that should get to the video, if not try this link http://digitalchumps.com/video-gallery/viewvideo/1120/wii/metroid-other-m-opening-video-sequence-shaky-cam.html The writing in this scene has no flow and tries too hard to create a softer side to Samus, but only comes off unnatural. I only hope the rest of the game isn’t like this, however; I have little hope for that.

What if I told you the best part was what you see in that video?
Would you cry?
I bet as the game goes further, more and more flashbacks will appear. It will turn into a Sailor Moon soap opera of young Samus and the other crappy characters. They already have the Tuxedo Mask character.And in the end, Samus Aran will become ‘the only one’. Nintendo is trying to sell Metroid to women. This is ‘feminized’ Metroid.
We shouldn’t even call her Samus Aran since this game is going to be as bad as a Sailor Moon episode. How about Samus Moon? That sounds more appropriate.
