Well, actual sound speech. Voice recorded and stuff. I know about the text-only narrative of hers.

Again, Super.

[HokutoNoBen]

Looking good so far. Be more than happy to spend time with Samus again for the first time since whenever Zero Mission came out.

[Align]

Again, Super.

"The last metroid is in captivity"? I always assumed that was a narrator, sounded too male for Samus.

[SUIKA]

Yeah what. That's a male saying that, surely.

[Protoman Blues]

Kotaku's Hands On

Man, I am looking forward to this.

[Solar]

And here's IGN's.

I wasn't hyped much before, but now I can't wait for June

...and I still really need to finish Prime 1 and 3.

Space pirates look so colorful.

[Gotham Ranger]

I can't wait for Samus' realistic bounce physics

[SUIKA]

Space pirates look so colorful.

The first and Super weren't exactly devoid of colour if you look closely, even for their atmosphere.

Though considering the technology at the time it was perhaps only because they couldn't afford to much else. I don't know.

That dog be bright red and teal, yo.


ps more cutscenes that exactly what i felt metroid needed
and even more words that's what i play games for thanks guys

There's a few details I'm not thrilled about, such as auto-lock on firing, which Destructoid mentioned is prone to spamming to clear out whole rooms with minimal effort. If anything, I'm more interested in the story itself than the gameplay right now. Maybe I just need to see more of it in motion that what we got from E3, but so far, the game's not really popping for me.

I posses an untempered hatred for people who sigh and mash the buttons repeatedly in a cutscene just to get through it because they have no care for plot or exposition.

[Bag of Magic Food]

I would rather hate the games that don't let you skip story scenes at all.

Hating people for wanting to play games.

Pretty reasonable, bro.

[SUIKA]

There's playing and there's appreciating.

[Tickle Buffalo]

Oh, so you hate people who play games but just don't appreciate them like you do?

Let's hope Vixy introduces a "Most Pretentious Gamer" award this year. You'd be set.

[Satoryu]

Drop it, you two.

[Tickle Buffalo]

Samus doesn't really sound too good during the intro, does she? She's like a robot or something, just monotoning it up. Kinda makes me wonder why they changed voices. Y'think she's gonna be this bad for the whole game?


Also also they seriously need to drop this whole zero suit fanservice thing. [parasitic bomb]'s just embarrassing tbh. :/

[Satoryu]

Zero Suit's nice and all, but I'm sick of it. Girl's gotta show some skin and let her hair down.

[Hypershell]

Zero Suit makes sense if Samus is in a situation where she wants to keep her Power Suit at the ready.  There's no reason it can't co-exist with a more casual outfit for her (see Metroid Zero Mission's various endings).

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

For those that haven't seen the leaked intro to Other M.  Metroid Database has it.
Samus is SOOOO gorgeous~

[Kieran]

At least the Power Suit looks less like it's made of plastic there than it does in all the screenshots I've seen.

[Hypershell]

Well, it shouldn't, seeings how that's all pre-rendered footage.  I don't recall how the more recent in-game screenshots looked, though.

[Flame]

Is it just me, or has Samus got sum hips?

Also, a mole under the lip... yep.
