Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto has revealed that Metroid: Other M will move the series in an entirely new direction, in terms of plot.
Speaking to Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu Sakamoto said “This time we’re strongly depicting the human side of Samus through such things as movies. She’s a strong woman, but she also has a fragile side. We want to make a game whose charms can be felt from the story areas and these human touches as well. It’s an action game, but it’s capable of having a clear emotional side.”
He also confirmed that the gameplay will be going back to the series' roots with it's combination of 2D jump action and 3D gameplay. "This Metroid is being developed with the aim of the ideal form of the old Metroid.”
Sakamoto had nothing but good things to say about Team Ninja's work, and is very happy with the current stage of development.
