  • so soon... wonderful

  • Sweet... i m excited!

  • i have a bad feeling about this game.

  • this is another game that looks amazing. im really looking forward to it. i loved the prime games, and this looks amazing as well. also, Team Ninja does make some high quality games, so im not worried. it may be going in a new direction, but i expect Other M to keep up the same old trend of high quality Metroid games.

  • I can only hope this is good.  Guess I'll have to dust off the old Wii around July.  God knows all it's doing right now it creating a creepy blue glow in my room when I'm trying to sleep.

  • Both Nintendo games are coming sooner than I expected.

    What does this mean? That's right, more third-party delays!

  • Yay, hopefully this game will be awesome.

  • This is going to be awesome I really hope team ninja's involvement doesn't screw it up

  • Team Ninja + Metroid sounds like a kick ass combination. i never liked metroid since it FPS appearance (prime series), but this TPS and FPS combination team ninja its working on looks awesome.  

  • We just recently got a Wii, so I love that I can get excited about this now!!

  • Mod

    Wow, that's a lot sooner than I expected, but another great game in the summer is all the better. Absolutely can't wait.

  • Yay! I'll be off to enjoy this! I'm tire of mid-semester releases.

  • I really hope this game is as good as it looks. I didn't expect it so soon. I might just have to crank up the old Wii here soon.

  • I want to see some new gameplay of this game, but i am still excited.

  • sweet finally street dates!! Give us more

  • Freaking gimme it now.

  • Wow the first half of the year is packed.  I've already bought Bayonetta, Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain.  Now I need to get FFXIII, God of War 3, Alan Wake, Lego Harry Potter (I'm addicted to all the Lego games), Super Mario Galaxy 2 and now this.  I generally stick with one game a month and now I'm booked up through September.

    Now Gamespot is reporting June 27th on their liveblog as well as Joystiq.  Just to clarify is it June or July?

  • I wish I had love left for Nintendo as this is one franchise that I feel has not been iterated to death as much as the only other three games they make all the time for every system they manufacture.

  • Mod

    As Chris pointed out, everywhere else I look reports the release date June 27 instead of July.

  • this looks interesting.
