	Voltaire posted 17/12/2010, 05:45 Im disappointed that .63million people were duped into buying this garbage. But hopefully a lesson is learned. I also find it hilarious that Nin so clearly tried for the JPN audience, and the game failed to sell there as well. Message \| Report

	whawhawha posted 17/12/2010, 01:40 The further a game gets away from launch the less the numbers mean for any company involved. A game selling for $20 does not make alot of money. If you like just seeing the numbers, well I guess you can still get that. You can buy that terrible monster truck game that has sold over a million for $5, but it won't help nintendo none. This is why Reggie is calling it a failure. Message \| Report
	oni-link posted 15/12/2010, 01:36 @venox accoring to Kotaku sales are somewhat undertracked (Reggie's quote) in the Americas. Anyways going by VGC #'s alone this should reach 1.0M bythis Aug 11' Message \| Report

	AOK Games posted 11/12/2010, 02:35 @ Fededx. It doesn't deserve a million. It's about as far away from Metroid as you can get. Hell, the Primes were more Metroid than Other M, and those were FPSes while Other M was specifically meant to be a throwback to the original games! Other M doesn't deliver on any level, not as a story game, not as an action game, and, again, not even as a Metroid game. Message \| Report
	Fededx posted 10/12/2010, 04:02 It's a great game, I really enjoyed it. Get out haters, the game deserves much more than a million. Message \| Report
	whawhawha posted 10/12/2010, 01:49 ...and I say some and most, because the quality is all over the place from area to area. it made no sense. Message \| Report
	whawhawha posted 10/12/2010, 01:41 ok, let me correct what I said, because some of the movie scenes are the best on the wii. The visuals are wildly inconsistant. Some of the graphics are the worst on the wii and unfortunately most of the overhead game play looks awful. blocky and blurry. The game overall is week. Bad controls, bad characters, bad playable graphics, and some real bad gameplay decisions throughout. Message \| Report
	darkgemini posted 09/12/2010, 08:21 @ AOK: YOu said it yourself: FUSION! Pulling out the game saying she had no character? Lol. She was even more "weak" there. And it doesnÂ´t metter that it was later in timelime, what a logic. It was developed earlier, thats the point :rolleyes: And even in the prime games she wasnÂ´t that bad ass, you maybe wish to see in her.... Message \| Report
	AOK Games posted 09/12/2010, 01:15 @darkgemini The graphics are a huge step down from the Prime games. Prime had organic, detailed environments, but Other M was just corridor after corridor after huge, empty room. And to make this perfectly clear, Samus never had any character; whatever you believed her to be was simply you projecting your thoughts onto the character. And before you pull out Fusion to defend your point, that was later in the Metroid timeline; nothing excuses this poor portrayal of a character. Message \| Report
	darkgemini posted 08/12/2010, 11:06 rofl, the visuals are one of the best on wii, and samus chaarcter didnÂ´t change to earlier games, if you followed them. This are weak arguments. Message \| Report
	whawhawha posted 07/12/2010, 08:09 I just sold this off after half way through. This is not a good game. I'm only glad I didn't pay full price for it. The controls are awful. samus is made to be really weak character, and the visuals compared to prime are real bad. To prove I am not just a hater, kong country(which I am playing now) is fantastic with great visuals. I can only hope that metroid fans don't get suckered in to the stuff you peopel are saying here.

	oni-link posted 24/11/2010, 07:11 decent sales and with this being undertracked in the americas; it probably hit the 600K mark a few weeks ago. Not a blockbuster that Nintendo had hoped for but not a disaster also. Should hit 1.0M by 08/11 if sales trend continue and VGC corrects the undetrack in the americas! Message \| Report
	Arfen posted 24/11/2010, 12:42 this game takes a different direction from Prime series, and no everybody likes it.. It's a great game, not as good as primes but a very good game with a huge history/drama beside it. Taking a new derection in a very popular franchise I think this game is a good first step.. will see the Samu's next Message \| Report

	Roar_Of_War posted 21/11/2010, 10:25 A correction for my other post concerning Kotaku (I don't know how I butcherd it so badly back there): I meant to say they have a bad habbit of putting their own POV's on things to the point of people being misinformed (at times). Message \| Report

	Roar_Of_War posted 19/11/2010, 10:29 I didn't see any direct quote from Reggie about it being US sales. Kotaku could've easily stated "US" themselves. I'm not saying they did, but until we hear a direct quote, I'm not trusting Kotaku. They have a bad habbit of putting words of ideas in peoples minds by adding their POVs often =/ Also, even if we get a direct quote, without official numbers, we don't know how loosely or unloosely Reggie could've used "getting close" to half a million. One thing is for certain - Nintendo is very disappointed by its performance. Message \| Report

	oni-link posted 11/11/2010, 03:12 If it hits 600K to 700K this Christmas, it should be okay and could end up selling 1M in it's lifetime (despite the haters). Just look at WL:shake it and PunchOut!!! Message \| Report
	Oria posted 09/11/2010, 12:14 Such a pain to play. Just doesn't feel like a Metroid. After the first week people got to play it and suddenly stopped buying the game. Can't blame them. At least I can still play SM and MPT. Hell, even Pinball feels more like a Metroid... Message \| Report

	oni-link posted 26/10/2010, 05:33 @haxxiy 510K in less than 2 months is a flop? The last two console Metroid "ONLY" sold 1.3M on average during their lifespan. Can't judge this game too early. If it can sell 600K by the end of Dec. it has a decent chance of getting 1+M during it's lifetime. Hardly a flop by any publishers standards. Message \| Report

	SnowFlow posted 25/09/2009, 08:25 The Prime games were good but I just got sick of looking for the most obscure things that would lead me to the next path, that would then lead me to more backtracking and more of facing the exact same enemies in the backtracked areas for more times than I could even count. Prime was a great series, but it just wasn't my thing. I do enjoy Zelda games by the way too. Message \| Report
	68soul posted 25/09/2009, 08:44 @SnowFlow I'm replaying the whole trilogy right now, and i'm even more impressed than ever before: the balance between exploration/puzzles and action/fights is nearly perfect... with the GC controller, some fights were too difficult for me, but with the wiimote... it's now so intuitive and fluid: i'm having a blast! Of course, if you're not into the "Zelda's dungeons in space" thing, i can understand... but "bored" with Prime? Well, to each his own, i guess... Message \| Report

	goldmario79 posted 14/10/2016, 06:54 Making a metroid game where you ping pong back and forth between 1st person shooter and semi-3d platformer is an interesting concept. Unfortunately, its kind of disorienting to do so and takes a bit to get used to it. If they would have just left as 2.5d platformer with neat tricks... would have been better. Take all of Klonoa's tips and tricks on manipulating back/foreground and use it for Samus. Message \| Report

	AOK Games posted 09/12/2010, 01:15 @darkgemini The graphics are a huge step down from the Prime games. Prime had organic, detailed environments, but Other M was just corridor after corridor after huge, empty room. And to make this perfectly clear, Samus never had any character; whatever you believed her to be was simply you projecting your thoughts onto the character. And before you pull out Fusion to defend your point, that was later in the Metroid timeline; nothing excuses this poor portrayal of a character. Message \| Report

	goldmario79 posted 14/10/2016, 06:54 Making a metroid game where you ping pong back and forth between 1st person shooter and semi-3d platformer is an interesting concept. Unfortunately, its kind of disorienting to do so and takes a bit to get used to it. If they would have just left as 2.5d platformer with neat tricks... would have been better. Take all of Klonoa's tips and tricks on manipulating back/foreground and use it for Samus. Message \| Report

	tripenfall posted 22/08/2014, 08:20 I picked up this game brand new for $15 the other day. I was not sure if I would like it as I'd heard negative internet buzz about it but after playing it through I have to say I was blown away! This is a great addition to the Metroid Series....

	DarkRPGamer007 posted 14/07/2014, 03:16 Don't see why this was so hated. It's really a let down after the greatness of the Prime series but this story was pretty epic. It felt like more of a cinematic experience though than a gameplay experience. Message \| Report
