Metroid: Other M Coming to Wii in June; Mixing 2-D and 3-D Gameplay

None

Nintendo announced today that the Team Ninja and Nintendo co-developed entry in the Metroid series, Metroid: Other M, will launch on the Wii earlier than expected: June 27, 2010.

According to Nintendo, Metroid: Other M will approach the classic Metroid gameplay from a new perspective:

“While much of the game is reminiscent of 2-D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3-D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran’s past. This new approach uses a new control scheme in which players use the Wii Remote controller held sideways to battle enemies and navigate the expansive, gorgeous environments in classic Metroid fashion, then aim at the screen with the Wii Remote pointer to blast foes in first-person and hunt the world for clues and hidden passages.”
