Nintendo Have Released New Metroid: Other M Screenshots, A Trailer, And A Fact Sheet

Fact Sheet
Metroid Franchise’s Heroine Gets Personal
For decades, Samus Aran has been known as one of the first female
protagonists in video games, and one of the most enigmatic. Having traded
her haunted past for the solitary life of a bounty hunter, Samus™ finally tells
her own tale in this revealing, personal story of her failings, her flaws and
ultimately her motivation. Metroid: Other M is an unprecedented collaboration
that blends the slick, action-packed production of the world-renowned Team
Ninja development team with the game design talents of the creators of the
original Metroid. Metroid: Other M is a dramatic new direction for a legendary
franchise and a bold new blend between cinematics, storytelling and the best
in interactive entertainment.
FEATURES:
• Metroid: Other M takes the best elements of first-person and third-person gaming to
create a seamless blend between game play, storytelling and dynamic
cinematography. Players hold the Wii Remote™ controller sideways while navigating
and battling in third-person. However, at any moment, players can switch
immediately to Wii Remote pointer controls to examine and explore the environments
in first-person perspective.
• Metroid fans know more about Samus’ suits and weapons than they do about what
drives her. That’s about to change. The story begins in the middle of the events of
Super Metroid™, when a baby Metroid gave its life to protect Samus. With voice
acting and a rich story, players learn more about Samus’ past as she weaves
through an action-packed adventure aboard the Bottle Ship, a decommissioned
space facility. As she hurtles into this new adventure, Samus will encounter her first
mentor and Commanding Officer of the Galactic Federation, Adam Malkovich.
• The development of Metroid: Other M is an exciting collaboration between Nintendo’s
Yoshio Sakamoto and Team Ninja. Sakamoto was the director of Super Metroid in
1994. Team Ninja is the renowned action developer of Ninja Gaiden. Metroid: Other
M pairs Sakamoto’s expert game design and exploratory focus of the classic Metroid
series with Team Ninja’s signature stylish, no-holds-barred action.

A New Country for Old Friends
Controlled by a group of evil Tikis, the animals in Donkey Kong Island
have raided Donkey Kong’s Banana Hoard and stolen his stash of
bananas – and he understandably wants them back. Retro Studios
brings Donkey Kong™ back in a new side-scrolling adventure with
familiar characters and new levels that reignite the passion players had
for the Super NES™ original.
FEATURES:
• Retro Studios faithfully restores everything that made the original series great, from
barrel cannons to mine carts, and then builds on those elements with stunning
graphics and new layers of depth to the world and game play. The game offers the
traditional side-scrolling experience everyone loved, but with levels created in fully
rendered 3-D environments.
• Diddy Kong™ joins the quest. With his trusty backpack, he can produce a jet pack or
Peanut Pop Guns to give Donkey Kong more abilities.
• For the first time ever, the franchise features the ability for two people to play together
at the same time – one as Donkey Kong, one as Diddy Kong. Players can navigate
the levels separately or as one unit. Diddy Kong can ride on Donkey Kong’s back and
hop off whenever he pleases, allowing novice players to ride on Donkey Kong’s back
through more challenging areas of the game.*
• Hidden items, puzzle pieces and other surprises are found all through the jungle.
Spell out K-O-N-G by the end of each level to earn an extra bonus.
• Motion controls give players a real feeling of control. Players move Donkey Kong
using the Control Stick on the Nunchuk™ controller and can shake the Wii Remote™
controller to make Donkey Kong slap the ground.
• Vibrant colors, beautiful graphics and fun characters draw players in. Even people
who have never played a Donkey Kong game before can pick up a controller and
start collecting loads of bananas.
• Every level offers new fun and new challenges. Sometimes Donkey Kong is running
through the jungle, sometimes his action takes place on a tropical beach and other
times he must become a master of timing as he jumps chasms in a mine cart.
