To give Other M some credit, I like the idea that The Nightmare's face is a solid fleshy mass when it is alive, and when the X mutates it, The Nightmare is melting and decaying.
Rodney Aran, Gray Voice and Anthony are the only people shown to try and take on Ridley. Only Anthony is able to leave alive. Although Gray Voice was able to hold his own for awhile despite his neural implant.
And the most powerful creatures in existence I had a serious hard time beating him on my first run and my first official fight with him I was so scare of my mind and still fear him up to this day that I want nothing more but to end him once and for all!
Unfortunate that this game was limited to just the Wii remote. With the nunchuk, the combat could have been pretty slick. I wouldn't mind seeing this style being given another shot, actually.
The mystery creature is a clone Ridley see after Metroid 1 or super Metroid someone or something clone Ridley his first form is the furry ball creature name furry ball the second form is this creature name as mystery creature and the third form is Ridley
items needing authorization could easily have felt entirely reasonable by just having Adam explain at the beginning to Samus that there might be civilian survivors on board the Bottle Ship, and she needs to be careful when fighting.
They actually do say that as justification for not authorizing power bombs. Because there are other people on the ship, let alone potential survivors. Adam says power bombs are off limits due to their bad habit of incinerating everything in their blast radius. Even through walls. Hence why you can only use them against bosses and after you clear the game.
Not to mention that Team Ninja worked on this game alongside Nintendo. If there's one thing that they excel at it's the rendering of humans. Especially women. Anyone who has played a game from the "Dead or Alive" series should be able to agree with that.
"Freeze guns authorized!" Hey Adam, I've got an ice beam, why don't I- "Samus, I'm authorizing missile use." Cool, but what about- "Everyone concentrate your fire and freeze that thing!" Does that include- "Samus, you use your missiles on the frozen spot!" Great, thanks.🖕
The gameplay genuinely looks great (ignoring bs authorisation and hand holding) This game could be so easily fixed by just tweaking samus' character to be normal and adding better controls
One detail about Samus' Power Suit in this game that I like is that it's yellow when everything is deactivated, but when she reactivates the Varia suit it turns Orange.
@@zachattack5691 In an interview, it was stated that originally, the Gravity Suit was going to be the full-on purple we know and love, but Sakamoto thought it was too distracting during cutscenes, so they changed it to be a purple aura during gravity manipulating environments. This actually does retroactively explain though why Samus's Power Suit was orange (aka Varia colours) during the intro sequence for Fusion, and why the SA-X was also the same orange.
Honestly, a game where Samus is restricted via an outside but allied force *COULD* work. "Samus, the atmosphere of this planet is extremely combustible. The use of explosive or heat based weaponry is forbidde." Not whatever the fuck Other M tried to pull.

The one aspect I find dumb is Adam not authorizing obviously Harmless upgrades like the varia suit or space jump those are very useful skills. Wave beam and power bomb are just too dangerous for the facility at the time which was why Adam is very stingy about using them.
"Hey Samus, enter the the super heated area because only you have the protection needed too survive. What, using the varia suit? No you're not authorised until you complete the area."
I think he the galactic federation didn't trust her. I think they were using Adam as an excuse. Maybe they planned to capture her in the end and if they gave her too many abilities she'd be too powerful.
@@ARMRStudios In Fusion it was first hinted at how there's likely a corrupt group within the Galactic Federation wanting to do more or less what the Space Pirates did which was dominating the galaxy by force except "in the name of peace" rather than the "order" Mother Brain proclaimed. Samus showed direct opposition to that when she blew up the BSL station in the game which destroyed all (normal) Metroids, SR388, and the X Parasites at the time. Even before she ended up doing that, it makes sense the corrupt group would see Samus as a major blockade to their plans considering what she's shown herself capable of before this game.
It would be cool if it was a third person game that feels more like metroid with free camera and aim movements with stealth aspects. And samus being still like her typical personality with soft moments instead of mostly being soft

And when it crawls in the second phase, it reminds me of a spider which I intensely hate because I have arachnophobia
Yknow, looking back at this, this game's cutscenes were pretty badass. Literally scratched that itch that no other game has been able to since the Metal Gear Solid series, mainly due to the voice acting, however.
Definitely will give Other M credit for not reusing the same bosses over and over again without any variation at all, which is more than I can say for Metroid Prime Hunters, where the story was literally an afterthought and not the primary focus.
Despite the limited things in this game I will still love this game no matter how much shit people love to talk about it. The gameplay was pretty awesome. Seeing this on the Switch would be great.
I think they should do a rerelease, but redo Samus’ lines with her voice actor from Dread. It wouldn’t change the story much, but it would at least make Samus feel more powerful.
I actually wouldn't mind this idea if they did it right. That, or give us a graphic novel telling us a cool side story where he goes through his own missions.
Yeah that’s one of the things that pisses me off the most, we hall all these awesome powerful weapons but we need “authorization” to actually USE IT( I have only played this game once so I’m not sure if what I just said is entirely accurate, I just remember getting angry. A lot)
Samus taking orders from the Federation is ludicrous. Sure she’ll work with them but it’s been shown that she’s told them to “F off” a few times and ignored what they actually wanted her to do.
Kinda falls into that The Last of Us part 2 issue where the story and characters were ruined into complete dogshit, but the gameplay and visuals are top notch.
If there’s one thing this game did right, it’s the animations and frenetic action. I like how Mercury Steam kept the metroidvania gameplay, but also implemented the over the top action and slick movement from other M for Samus returns and Dread
Other M is basically the DMC of Devil May Cry. Is not a bad game, really good ideas, but poorly executed. I would love to see a Metroid game with a Metal Gear Rising type of action and camera.
All Metroid sequels should incorporate more action gameplay from now on. Prime 3 was good but felt kind of uninspired in terms of mechanics. Maybe Prime 4 will sell better if it goes a more into FPS territory? (Without sacrificing the Metroid formula of course.) Somewhat recently I realized that Samus’ games share a bit too much DNA with Zelda. Perhaps they’re having trouble standing out and the sales numbers suffer as a result?
@@protocetid The Biggest issue that Metroid has is that is the "Lesser" of Nintendo's IPs so all the budget goes to Pokemon, Zelda and Mario at the end of the day, Dev teams has to work with what they had leaving little room to try out new things, Dread is a great game, but is not something ground breaking at the end of the day, although, a great sequel from Fusion/
@@badasstasticusbadass4908 Metroid would certainly get a budget increase if it drew in a larger audience, and to do that it should differentiate itself more.
@@protocetid Last time they tried something new we got Other M and Federation force, the franchise was put in crio stasis for so many years before we got Samus Returns in the DS and allmost a decade for Dread. It's risky to experiment with new things with Metroid.
@@badasstasticusbadass4908 Nah those games were just poorly done. Notice I didn't say 2D Metroid needs to lean into action, because it’s already doing so. Strange of you to be against change when your original comment calls for just that.
I loved the "hack and slash" style of other M despite all the incongruences that had the game mostly in the story. It was really really fun to play and is one of my favourites metroids due the playability and I would love to see a new metroid with this style, obviously more cared and developed about story and controls
I loved this game, only because I treated it as a Gaiden game, lol Metroid Gaiden. Since I played ninja Gaiden and this game was made by Team Ninja I treated it as such and had no problems with it lol
See, even I personally, having grown with classic Metroid games, felt this was a dope change of gameplay. I did enjoy NG1&2 as well, but the thing that was a major blow, was Samus's portrayal.. now that was just poorly executed imo Seeing how this game places before the Fusion Events and after the Super events, which means Samus is already a vet in combat and threat elimination. Besides that, I think it's going to remain as badly rated Metroid game, and sadly, it covers one of the crucial transitions into the main story of Fusion.
I assume the Chozo DNA infusion and subsequent training is how Samus was able to do all that running and other acrobatic stunts while in the wedge heels her Zero Suit for the game had.
It's definitely different from the other Metroid games, but it seems to have its own unique charm. I really like the graphics! Also, Nightmare, my favorite Metroid boss of all time, what on Earth did they do to you? Makes me wonder when the x-viruses reanimate dead tissue that the flesh can become rotted due to complications or something. That could possibly explain why Nightmare looks like an undead zombie in Fusion.
I like the idea that Nightmare was an incomplete bioweapon that the X took over and, through that infection, perfected the thing. Like that mask has to work as a sort of control mechanism since it was stumbling around without it, while the x version was fighting until it’s face was a molten mess.
I admit that I think this Nightmare is scarier than Nightmare X from Fusion. Whether it's because of the more detailed graphics, the expanded set of attacks, or the noises it makes, I don't know. Maybe it's all three?
Gotta say...the authorization is somehow logic to me but only for powerful weapons like the power bomb so she wouldn't harm any civil persons by accident.
Okay people, I do understand Samus´ reaction to see Ridley again it´s quite questionable. But come on, she thought he was dead for good once for all, _the murderer of her parents_ she thought he was gone, it´s kinda normal to be in shock that way once you find out one way or another the same guy stills there somehow to haunt you forever. I still enjoyed his boss battle tho.
I don't think I ever saw the Overblast animation where Samus shoves her arm cannon down Ridley's throat. That's so badass! I kinda want them to port this game to the Switch, not only to relive this awesome gameplay, but so it could benefit from the better control of the gyro aiming.
@@Raiden3651 nah bro. Dread action is cool, but Other Ms only flaw was Samus talking too much like a lil neurotic baby. Also, I bet we would have complained less if she spoke Chozo in Other M. If Dread was 2.5D like it should have been, it would have broken 90%. It's basically the same game stylistically. But Other M was a slap. Besides the bullshit 1st person missle stuff, this game was great mechanically
@@JuicemanGravy these new Dread finishers are cooler to me only cause I get thrown off seeing Team Ninja reuse attack animations they made in the Saturn/Dreamcast/Xbox eras. Just glad that issue's solved for Samus now.

I understand that teamwork and trust are essential, but this guy gives out orders to Samus like she, a bounty hunter, doesn't have any idea what to do.
this is actually my favorite metroid game, it tops even Fusion for me. You have to look at it from a full standpoint to truly love this game. As much as people hate it, this is the only time we see an emotionally damaged samus. The wear and tear of her work getting to her shows shes human, feels a bit like when she was first announced as a woman to most players. The gameplay is perfection, it has moments where your first person feels like Prime and for those who want the original experience of running aimlessly around its there. Lastly it keeps its ambiance and mystery by showing us new and old types of enemies as well as teasing Fusion. It also kind of gives Fusion a more down to earth feel for Samus, the whole Adam Malkovich thing makes more sense for veteran players and we also finally see deph in it. Sorry but this game is a 9/10 for me.
I can’t stand the Ridley part. You killed him and he revived quite a few times before this but oh no he comes back and she has an anxiety attack. Dread was a much better hold of her character.
yeah... considering samus return remake, prime series, and Zero, she has killed him like 5 times already, ... and now she gets anxious ... of all, she should get exhausted from seen his face, like die already you flying lizard xd
Hey man. Ptsd isn't really something you can get over. Ridley killed her parents. He is also highly intelligent and controls a large portion of the space pirates. I'd have a anxiety attack too if I thought I avenged/killed something, only to have it come back haunting me. Dread she has matured. Other M she is still young. Fusion she is still at lost on losing Adam.
This is THE ONLY time she's ever shown ANY emotion IN THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE. You can't compare emotionless silent protag Samus, with the ONLY version of Samus to show ANY EMOTIONS.
Ridley's adolescent form kinda looks like it drew inspiration from Monster Hunter's Yian Garuga. A white mane, purple body with green trim. Even the shades are dead on.
Okay after playing Metroid Dread I’ve realized a few things. I loved the scene where Mercury Steam remembered that Samus was raised by the Chozo. And that she spoke in the Chozo language. Now they need to go back to “Other M” and change it to fit in the timeline. They need to remember that Adam was a Commander that Samus had so much respect for, that if he asked her not to use power up do to the safety of others, that she wouldn’t. And not that he’s “like her father”. No. She had a father in Old Bird. Other M has such great gameplay, and on Nintendo’s new consoles it would feel and play even more amazing, and they would be able to tweak out all the bugs. Movement would be so smooth with today’s controls, and you can have a 1st person view for looking/shooting if needed, but it doesn’t need to be required, it would just be a button press. Then they need to go and bring in their best sound designers and orchestra, they need to bring the music back to Metroid, just like they did with the prime series, and Samus Returns. But with all new themes. Music in Metroid let’s you know how Samus feels, it makes the mood. They need to bring back the “purple” Gravity Suit, and not just a feature. Missiles have to be useable in 3rd person, and not just first person view. The counter needs to be updated to the new counter strike that’s in Samus returns/Dread, it would make the gameplay so much smoother then trying to manually dodge, or trying to jump on the enemy’s head. Now let’s focus on the story. First off we need a title that makes sense, and not a code for Mother. This is a game where everyone aboard a space ship dies, and so we need a strong name. Also Samus never called the Metroid a baby in Samus Returns or Super Metroid, she called it “the Infant Metroid”, so let’s completely ditch her saying “the baby”. That got old pretty quick. Now… Let’s address the PTSD when she sees Ridley, up to that point Samus has faced Ridley 5 times, and not once did she go PTSD. She can have a panic attack because yes she completely destroyed him in Super, and she’s completely shocked that the creature that killed her whole family in front of her is alive, but give the lady some dignity, and not make her out to be crazy. And finally… Adam didn’t shoot Samus in the back to stop her, instead the cloned infant Metroid attacked Samus, as she thought it just hatched and that she might develop a bond like before, and he shot the Metroid killing it, and saving her. That’s why she was so exhausted, because it had drained her life energy to feed. Now the Voice acting/translation needs to be updated to our culture style, and not Japans culture style. People in other countries don’t always understand others cultures, and it makes things feel weird/awkward or dry. Instead let the actors and translation teams do what they do best. “Act”. I think people really feel that Other M is a bad game because of a few missteps along the way, and because they forgot some of her real past. But at its core it’s a good game, and it has so much potential. Let’s make it be the game it deserves.
Finally someone who can see the potential in this game! Yes, it did have its missteps and flaws, but like you said at its core it's a good game. There are certain aspects that should be changed to fit in line with the other games but I enjoyed this one nonetheless
There is this team in reddit that worked on modding other m, as i can see it works some aspects of what u said (metroid other m maxximum edition) [or something like that, give it a look!]
Whoever did this game didn't understand that the essence of Metroid is mystery, atmosphere, tension and challenging bosses, it's not about flashy, bombastic, over the top action.
@klaus.sfc01official30 It's just because of the story and Adam not letting Samus use all of her equipment until much later on for (seemingly) no reason.
You cannot tell me these boss fights arent satisfying. The Ice beam Missile combo is awesome, freeze it then blow it apart, or blow a piece of it off. The Overcharge and quick dodge made me feel like a badass.
Thing is, knowing how the quote unquote "Mystery Creature" is supposed to be an adolescent Ridley clone, I wonder why the game and the creators call it such. Seeing how it's a duplicate of original Ridley, it should make sense why it attacks Samus. Maybe the clone remembers its past life? Also, in its infant form, it appears as a little albino furby looking thing. Apart from that I'm assuming this game leads into Metroid Fusion. In the Sub-Zero containment area lays the frozen carcass of the Ridley clone, having had his energy yum-yum eaten up by the Metroid Queen. The corpse is soon taken over and mimicked by an X-Parasite later into the game.
Most underrated metroid game in the entire series... I love Other M so friggin' much. I had 0 trouble with the gameplay/controls. But I do agree, maybe making it so that a "wii pro controller" an alternative.
Idk why people think this game is a shit i personally love it cuz it was My first Metroid played on a original console (btw i still have my nintendo Wii it was actually my first console)
Other M had the potential to be such a cool game. They did fairly well using only the Wiimote, and the pre-rendered cutscenes actually look really sleek. Had they approached the story, the linearity, and Samus' character better (as well as redacted the most glaring plot contradiction in the entire series) it could have been remembered more fondly than it is.
I never picked up this game cause I ditched the Wii console when it came out. But I always heard that this game had a bad reputation. But after seeing all this beautiful and awesome gameplay, how was it a very bad Metroid game exactly ? I wanna give it a try now in 2021 ! I hope it can return to the Switch or future Nintendo consoles
It’s not a terrible game if you can get past the messy controls and how linear it is. However it’s a terrible Metroid game when it comes to story as it makes no sense at all
I'd say it is pretty flawed in terms of how it is controlled, and how the story and characterisation is directed. Is it bad? I guess thats subjective. Many people commenting in this vid seemed to like it alright. It's certainly looked down upon in the larger metroid community, mostly due to clunky controls, too much focus on cinematics, and very poorly recieved characterisation of Samus and Adam (I think thats the most prevailing arguments I've seen).
I think I'm obsessed with the idea of the Nightmare. It's supposed to be a machine with military purposes why would it have the face of a twisted creature underneath it?
To give Other M some credit, I like the idea that The Nightmare's face is a solid fleshy mass when it is alive, and when the X mutates it, The Nightmare is melting and decaying.

If that is voice then that means that the nightmare we fight here and in fusion are in the juvenile stage so what's the adult nightmare
Nightmare was way better in Fusion.
Samus taking orders from the Federation is ludicrous. Sure she’ll work with them but it’s been shown that she’s told them to “F off” a few times and ignored what they actually wanted her to do.
I had lots of fun with this game despite all negative aspects. Time for a replay
i still cant think of a single reason that varia suit feature would ever need authorization
I don't care what anyone says about Other M, I loved it and still do. The atmosphere of each section of the station is beautiful.
Kinda falls into that The Last of Us part 2 issue where the story and characters were ruined into complete dogshit, but the gameplay and visuals are top notch.
I'm surprised that everyone in the comments is liking this game, I pretty much enjoyed it myself too
If there’s one thing this game did right, it’s the animations and frenetic action.
I like how Mercury Steam kept the metroidvania gameplay, but also implemented the over the top action and slick movement from other M for Samus returns and Dread
Other M is basically the DMC of Devil May Cry.
Is not a bad game, really good ideas, but poorly executed. I would love to see a Metroid game with a Metal Gear Rising type of action and camera.
All Metroid sequels should incorporate more action gameplay from now on. Prime 3 was good but felt kind of uninspired in terms of mechanics. Maybe Prime 4 will sell better if it goes a more into FPS territory? (Without sacrificing the Metroid formula of course.) Somewhat recently I realized that Samus’ games share a bit too much DNA with Zelda. Perhaps they’re having trouble standing out and the sales numbers suffer as a result?
@@protocetid The Biggest issue that Metroid has is that is the "Lesser" of Nintendo's IPs so all the budget goes to Pokemon, Zelda and Mario at the end of the day, Dev teams has to work with what they had leaving little room to try out new things, Dread is a great game, but is not something ground breaking at the end of the day, although, a great sequel from Fusion/
@@badasstasticusbadass4908 Metroid would certainly get a budget increase if it drew in a larger audience, and to do that it should differentiate itself more.
@@protocetid Last time they tried something new we got Other M and Federation force, the franchise was put in crio stasis for so many years before we got Samus Returns in the DS and allmost a decade for Dread. It's risky to experiment with new things with Metroid.
@@badasstasticusbadass4908 Nah those games were just poorly done. Notice I didn't say 2D Metroid needs to lean into action, because it’s already doing so. Strange of you to be against change when your original comment calls for just that.
Awesome!
I enjoyed every second. Well done. Greetings from Honduras❤
Yeeeesss.
I think this is the only time we see samus be genuinely terrified.
i've never seen this Metroid M
wow this is really amazing!!! 🤩🤩🤩
I loved the "hack and slash" style of other M despite all the incongruences that had the game mostly in the story.
It was really really fun to play and is one of my favourites metroids due the playability and I would love to see a new metroid with this style, obviously more cared and developed about story and controls
Yeah this basically describes my feelings about other M except the part about it being my favorite
Holy fucking shit, Adam legitimately ***ALLOWS USE OF THE VARIA SUIT*** wtf
The goyagma creature is quite an interesting boss in the Metroid series.
I loved this game, only because I treated it as a Gaiden game, lol Metroid Gaiden. Since I played ninja Gaiden and this game was made by Team Ninja I treated it as such and had no problems with it lol
See, even I personally, having grown with classic Metroid games, felt this was a dope change of gameplay. I did enjoy NG1&2 as well, but the thing that was a major blow, was Samus's portrayal.. now that was just poorly executed imo
Seeing how this game places before the Fusion Events and after the Super events, which means Samus is already a vet in combat and threat elimination.
Besides that, I think it's going to remain as badly rated Metroid game, and sadly, it covers one of the crucial transitions into the main story of Fusion.
38:48 It’s kind of funny how the music was immediately cut off by the alarm.
I assume the Chozo DNA infusion and subsequent training is how Samus was able to do all that running and other acrobatic stunts while in the wedge heels her Zero Suit for the game had.
I didn’t know Phantoon would steal the show by being the final boss!
To be fair, if I had to fight Ridley for 3 games in a row, I'd be stressed seeing him too.
Would I be crazy if I said I actually like Metroid Other M since it’s the first Metroid game I’ve ever owned & completed?
Nope, Just your opinion and people need to respect it
It's definitely different from the other Metroid games, but it seems to have its own unique charm. I really like the graphics!
Also, Nightmare, my favorite Metroid boss of all time, what on Earth did they do to you? Makes me wonder when the x-viruses reanimate dead tissue that the flesh can become rotted due to complications or something. That could possibly explain why Nightmare looks like an undead zombie in Fusion.
I like the idea that Nightmare was an incomplete bioweapon that the X took over and, through that infection, perfected the thing. Like that mask has to work as a sort of control mechanism since it was stumbling around without it, while the x version was fighting until it’s face was a molten mess.
I dont like how samus was scared of ridley, because she never was before. She always kicked ridleys ass
I admit that I think this Nightmare is scarier than Nightmare X from Fusion. Whether it's because of the more detailed graphics, the expanded set of attacks, or the noises it makes, I don't know. Maybe it's all three?
Gotta say...the authorization is somehow logic to me but only for powerful weapons like the power bomb so she wouldn't harm any civil persons by accident.
I remember seeing this game in a store at one point, but I wasted that chance to buy it.
I like how in the King Kihunter Boss fight Samus picks one of the enemies and throws it! XD
17:23 Samus:stop making alt accounts Ridley!!!!!
What a "rp"
What a "rp"
What a "rp"
First Metroid game I ever played takes a special place
24:30
Parental instincts: activated!
14:25 I had no idea you could overblast the Ferrocrusher. It even plays a DIFFERENT death animation if you do so.
Okay people, I do understand Samus´ reaction to see Ridley again it´s quite questionable.
But come on, she thought he was dead for good once for all, _the murderer of her parents_ she thought he was gone, it´s kinda normal to be in shock that way once you find out one way or another the same guy stills there somehow to haunt you forever.
I still enjoyed his boss battle tho.
25:25 he didn’t like that to much
I don't think I ever saw the Overblast animation where Samus shoves her arm cannon down Ridley's throat. That's so badass! I kinda want them to port this game to the Switch, not only to relive this awesome gameplay, but so it could benefit from the better control of the gyro aiming.
Youre in luck on Dread in terms of brutal/Not Kratos finisher animations
@@Raiden3651 nah bro. Dread action is cool, but Other Ms only flaw was Samus talking too much like a lil neurotic baby. Also, I bet we would have complained less if she spoke Chozo in Other M.
If Dread was 2.5D like it should have been, it would have broken 90%.
It's basically the same game stylistically. But Other M was a slap. Besides the bullshit 1st person missle stuff, this game was great mechanically
@@JuicemanGravy these new Dread finishers are cooler to me only cause I get thrown off seeing Team Ninja reuse attack animations they made in the Saturn/Dreamcast/Xbox eras. Just glad that issue's solved for Samus now.
@@Raiden3651 I tbh that's fair af. Bc I have only played this team ninja game. I didn't know they repurposed some of them. Dang man I'm kinda sad now.
@@JuicemanGravy over with now if you decided to play Stranger of Paradise. Not alot of recycling.
19:53 the beams with + are additional the beams with • are main functions 10:08 same with the suits 20:25 at this point wear him out 31:40 Melissa Bergman (MB) [Mother Brain's telepathy inserted into AI] isn't technically a boss 33:44 the best boss in the game Phantoon
I understand that teamwork and trust are essential, but this guy gives out orders to Samus like she, a bounty hunter, doesn't have any idea what to do.
this is actually my favorite metroid game, it tops even Fusion for me. You have to look at it from a full standpoint to truly love this game. As much as people hate it, this is the only time we see an emotionally damaged samus. The wear and tear of her work getting to her shows shes human, feels a bit like when she was first announced as a woman to most players. The gameplay is perfection, it has moments where your first person feels like Prime and for those who want the original experience of running aimlessly around its there. Lastly it keeps its ambiance and mystery by showing us new and old types of enemies as well as teasing Fusion. It also kind of gives Fusion a more down to earth feel for Samus, the whole Adam Malkovich thing makes more sense for veteran players and we also finally see deph in it. Sorry but this game is a 9/10 for me.
Nightmare sounds terrifying without his mask!
Nice gameplay this game
In the first minute, Samus talked more than in all Metroid Dread.
I can’t stand the Ridley part. You killed him and he revived quite a few times before this but oh no he comes back and she has an anxiety attack. Dread was a much better hold of her character.
yeah... considering samus return remake, prime series, and Zero, she has killed him like 5 times already, ... and now she gets anxious ... of all, she should get exhausted from seen his face, like die already you flying lizard xd
Hey man. Ptsd isn't really something you can get over. Ridley killed her parents. He is also highly intelligent and controls a large portion of the space pirates. I'd have a anxiety attack too if I thought I avenged/killed something, only to have it come back haunting me. Dread she has matured. Other M she is still young. Fusion she is still at lost on losing Adam.
This is THE ONLY time she's ever shown ANY emotion IN THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE.
You can't compare emotionless silent protag Samus, with the ONLY version of Samus to show ANY EMOTIONS.
@@TaiTai-py2tp Fuck off, she already overcame her fear of Ridley in the manga, this here makes no fucking sense and shouldnt have been in the game.
There’s a great video covering it, but its the localization that made the game about PTSD. Original Japanese was more about Samus growing up.
That is the graphics Wii should have had
People give this game a bad rap. And it's deserved in quite a bit of ways, but being a Metroid game was enough to keep me happy.
I loved the gameplay except for the 1st person missile mechanic. The voice acting wad the worst part of the game for me
@@spacefreak0010 In Japanese it seems that I fit better
@@diegosilva9979 thats what ive heard
I'm sure Other M is a fine game per se, just storywise it feels like a Metroid fanfiction.
Ridley's adolescent form kinda looks like it drew inspiration from Monster Hunter's Yian Garuga. A white mane, purple body with green trim. Even the shades are dead on.
This game deserves to be playable for the Nintendo switch
I love how Samus doesn't regain her abilities, she just waits for Adam to fucking AUTHORISE them. She's badass, and follows the rules at the same time
Okay after playing Metroid Dread I’ve realized a few things. I loved the scene where Mercury Steam remembered that Samus was raised by the Chozo. And that she spoke in the Chozo language. Now they need to go back to “Other M” and change it to fit in the timeline. They need to remember that Adam was a Commander that Samus had so much respect for, that if he asked her not to use power up do to the safety of others, that she wouldn’t. And not that he’s “like her father”. No. She had a father in Old Bird.
Other M has such great gameplay, and on Nintendo’s new consoles it would feel and play even more amazing, and they would be able to tweak out all the bugs. Movement would be so smooth with today’s controls, and you can have a 1st person view for looking/shooting if needed, but it doesn’t need to be required, it would just be a button press.
Then they need to go and bring in their best sound designers and orchestra, they need to bring the music back to Metroid, just like they did with the prime series, and Samus Returns. But with all new themes.
Music in Metroid let’s you know how Samus feels, it makes the mood.
They need to bring back the “purple” Gravity Suit, and not just a feature.
Missiles have to be useable in 3rd person, and not just first person view.
The counter needs to be updated to the new counter strike that’s in Samus returns/Dread, it would make the gameplay so much smoother then trying to manually dodge, or trying to jump on the enemy’s head.
Now let’s focus on the story.
First off we need a title that makes sense, and not a code for Mother. This is a game where everyone aboard a space ship dies, and so we need a strong name. Also
Samus never called the Metroid a baby in Samus Returns or Super Metroid, she called it “the Infant Metroid”, so let’s completely ditch her saying “the baby”. That got old pretty quick.
Now… Let’s address the PTSD when she sees Ridley, up to that point Samus has faced Ridley 5 times, and not once did she go PTSD. She can have a panic attack because yes she completely destroyed him in Super, and she’s completely shocked that the creature that killed her whole family in front of her is alive, but give the lady some dignity, and not make her out to be crazy.
And finally…
Adam didn’t shoot Samus in the back to stop her, instead the cloned infant Metroid attacked Samus, as she thought it just hatched and that she might develop a bond like before, and he shot the Metroid killing it, and saving her. That’s why she was so exhausted, because it had drained her life energy to feed.
Now the Voice acting/translation needs to be updated to our culture style, and not Japans culture style. People in other countries don’t always understand others cultures, and it makes things feel weird/awkward or dry. Instead let the actors and translation teams do what they do best. “Act”.
I think people really feel that Other M is a bad game because of a few missteps along the way, and because they forgot some of her real past. But at its core it’s a good game, and it has so much potential. Let’s make it be the game it deserves.
Finally someone who can see the potential in this game! Yes, it did have its missteps and flaws, but like you said at its core it's a good game. There are certain aspects that should be changed to fit in line with the other games but I enjoyed this one nonetheless
There is this team in reddit that worked on modding other m, as i can see it works some aspects of what u said (metroid other m maxximum edition) [or something like that, give it a look!]
Hey, I remember this game! Not fondly, at all, but I remember it.
Whoever did this game didn't understand that the essence of Metroid is mystery, atmosphere, tension and challenging bosses, it's not about flashy, bombastic, over the top action.
I never understood why people hated this game from this video it doesn't look that bad
@klaus.sfc01official30 It's just because of the story and Adam not letting Samus use all of her equipment until much later on for (seemingly) no reason.
You cannot tell me these boss fights arent satisfying. The Ice beam Missile combo is awesome, freeze it then blow it apart, or blow a piece of it off. The Overcharge and quick dodge made me feel like a badass.
I feel like this game would have made a great anime
Anthony's one of the only redeeming features of this game
Why does maskless Nightmare sounds like a crying human baby?!
17:57 If Someone Who Messing With Samus, It's You Ridley!
I did like the mystery aspect of the game. And Samus’s voice over were cool.
I prefer more the design of Phantoon in super metroid this one is more scary
I like this one more
*LETS NOT GET INTO ITS SIZE, I DONT LIKE IT*
Thing is, knowing how the quote unquote "Mystery Creature" is supposed to be an adolescent Ridley clone, I wonder why the game and the creators call it such.
Seeing how it's a duplicate of original Ridley, it should make sense why it attacks Samus. Maybe the clone remembers its past life?
Also, in its infant form, it appears as a little albino furby looking thing.
Apart from that I'm assuming this game leads into Metroid Fusion.
In the Sub-Zero containment area lays the frozen carcass of the Ridley clone, having had his energy yum-yum eaten up by the Metroid Queen.
The corpse is soon taken over and mimicked by an X-Parasite later into the game.
Most underrated metroid game in the entire series... I love Other M so friggin' much. I had 0 trouble with the gameplay/controls. But I do agree, maybe making it so that a "wii pro controller" an alternative.
Other M really knows how to make plasma rifles look a lot like bullets
30:15 Metroid Other M HD - All Bosses (*NO DAMAGE*)
So how do you want him to kill?🙄🙄🙄🙄
It was forced if he wanted to pass that battle
It couldn’t be helped lol
Idk why people think this game is a shit i personally love it cuz it was My first Metroid played on a original console (btw i still have my nintendo Wii it was actually my first console)
Because it's cringe
@@olsonbryce777 i didnt find it cringe :/
Ur basically describing nostalgia
@@THamm-xt8jm basically nostalgia for me . _.
I personally enjoyed it
Samus was a different person back then.
One of the best Metroid game. Master piece
I agree better than that gameboy crap
Lol no it's not
😂😂😂 lol no
Other M had the potential to be such a cool game. They did fairly well using only the Wiimote, and the pre-rendered cutscenes actually look really sleek. Had they approached the story, the linearity, and Samus' character better (as well as redacted the most glaring plot contradiction in the entire series) it could have been remembered more fondly than it is.
Lol, the way Phantoon dies like a Mario Galaxy enemy.
17:44 yup where talking about him today
This game actually looks so cool, Samus is like a ninja! I hope it gets a re-release in HD on Switch2 along with Phantasy Star Online Ep1 &2 by SEGA!
Gameplay wise
This game is Gold
I never picked up this game cause I ditched the Wii console when it came out. But I always heard that this game had a bad reputation. But after seeing all this beautiful and awesome gameplay, how was it a very bad Metroid game exactly ? I wanna give it a try now in 2021 !
I hope it can return to the Switch or future Nintendo consoles
It’s not a terrible game if you can get past the messy controls and how linear it is. However it’s a terrible Metroid game when it comes to story as it makes no sense at all
I'd say it is pretty flawed in terms of how it is controlled, and how the story and characterisation is directed.
Is it bad? I guess thats subjective. Many people commenting in this vid seemed to like it alright.
It's certainly looked down upon in the larger metroid community, mostly due to clunky controls, too much focus on cinematics, and very poorly recieved characterisation of Samus and Adam (I think thats the most prevailing arguments I've seen).
This game is really like resident evil 5. It got ridiculous, fast.
Chris vs. Boulder was a better fight scene than anything in Other M
@@manofdaboijerry7687Funny I enjoyed Metroid Other M more then Resident Evil 5.
@@manofdaboijerry7687So what? Chris vs the Boulder was better then anything else in Resident Evil 5.
Idk why people didn't like this game mode, i find it so good and certainly much better than first person!
I think I'm obsessed with the idea of the Nightmare. It's supposed to be a machine with military purposes why would it have the face of a twisted creature underneath it?
Because that’s what’s most efficient
It's name is Nightmare. It's supposed to be scary.
I still don’t understand which idiot at the federation thought that it would be a good idea to clone Ridley.
The Federation are always idiot way of cloning Ridley they thought it was good idea
Finally they brought back Phantoon in Other M
