Metroid: Other M Date Scanned For Australia

Kotaku AU

Yes, Nintendo Australia has helpfully provided a firm release date for Metroid: Other M. But what is it? Oh god, the suspense!

September 2, that’s what it is.

Developed by Team Ninja, Metroid: Other M is the second original Samus adventure to hit the Wii. It mixes side-scrolling, third-person action and first-person shooting and scanning into one eclectic sci-fi melange.

Is it any good though? We won’t find out until next week when Nintendo holds its Metroid: Other M media event. And tomorrow we’ll have some news on how some of you will be able to join us…

    This is good news, I was thinking that it was to be released at the END of September.

    Wow, only 2 days past the US release date! That’s a rarity from Nintendo Australia.

    Looking forward to this game, really want to see what direction team ninja takes one of my favourite franchises.

    Hooray! I thought we’d have to wait for “localization” again. Very pleased!

    “Is it any good though? We won’t find out until next week when Nintendo holds its Metroid: Other M media event”

    I hope you mean that we won’t find out until an actual review is done, rather than determining if a game is good at a publisher-held event focusing on how good they say the game is.
