The second original ''[[Metroid]]'' game for the [[Wii]], the first being ''[[Metroid Prime]] 3: Corruption'', followed by its [[Compilation Rerelease]] ''[[Metroid Prime]] Trilogy''. Developed by Project M -- which includes team members from Team Ninja (of ''[[Dead or Alive]]'' fame), Nintendo SPD Production Group 1, and D-~~Rockets—the~~ game is a third person action-adventure game that combines both 2D and 3D [[Platform Game|platforming]]. As an homage to the mechanics of the original ''Metroid'' as well as ''Super Metroid'', the game is ~~[[Understatement|~~substantially different]] from the ''Prime'' trilogy.

The second original ''[[Metroid]]'' game for the [[Wii]], the first being ''[[Metroid Prime]] 3: Corruption'', followed by its [[Compilation Rerelease]] ''[[Metroid Prime]] Trilogy''. Developed by Project M — which includes team members from Team Ninja (of ''[[Dead or Alive]]'' fame), Nintendo SPD Production Group 1, and D-Rockets — the game is a third person action-adventure game that combines both 2D and 3D [[Platform Game|platforming]]. As an homage to the mechanics of the original ''Metroid'' as well as ''Super Metroid'', the game is substantially different from the ''Prime'' trilogy.

Set after the events of ''Super Metroid'' but before those of ''Metroid Fusion'', ''Other M'' finds our heroine Samus Aran resting on a [[The Federation|Galactic Federation]] ship, convalescent after her battle against [[Big Bad|Mother]] [[Brain In a Jar|Brain]]. Shortly after leaving, she picks up a [[Distress Call]] from a dormant bottle ship and sets out to investigate. Once there, she reunites with familiar faces from her days on the Federation Army: Anthony Higgs and her former commanding officer, Adam Malkovich. Following an attack from an alien being, the three split up to discover the nature of the strange threat.

----

* [[Action Commands]]: Samus's dodge-roll maneuver. In some cases it even becomes ''literally'' [[Press X to Not Die]].

Line 164:

Line 162:

* [[One Hundred Percent Completion]]: Unlocks hard mode. Or rather, ''harder'' mode.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Samus is on her 3rd voice actor.

* [[Permanently Missable Content]]: At one point in Sector 2, there is an area with a Missile Tank, which is behind a pillar. Unless you [[Guide Dang It|have a guide]], chances are you'll miss it. Wouldn't be so bad except that the area suddenly succumbs to an avalanche after you solve the puzzle. This avalanche covers the entire area and you can never go back and get the items you missed, even after you beat the game.

* [[Personal Space Invader]]: A couple of foes are like this, either trying to latch on to you or ram you, but {{spoiler|where there's Metroids, there's only one thing to expect}}.

* [[Pixel Hunt]]: Many of the forced first person segments fall into this. Others go straight into [[Guide Dang It]] territory.
