Sakamoto spricht über Metroid: Other M

Yoshio Sakamoto von Nintendo hat sich zum kommenden Projekt Metroid: Other M geäußert und in einem Interview mit Kotaku erwähnt, das man mit dem Spiel etwas erreichen will, was in der Geschichte des Franchises noch nie gegeben hat. Das Ziel wäre es auch, das interessante Gameplay in einem Metroid-Spiel mit einfließen lassen, das es je gab.

Das Spiel entsteht in Zusammenarbeit mit Nintendo und Team Ninja, welche unter anderem an den Ninja Gaiden-Spielen gearbeitet haben. Offiziell angekündigt wurde es auf der Electronic Entertainment Expo. Erscheinen soll es im kommenden Jahr.

Zitat

"Our goal is to provide the most interesting gameplay and deliver the most cool Metroid ever. Retro has their own approach toward Metroid games. They had their own producer. Their approach to Metroid games has traditionally been the FPA — first person adventure — but my concept was kind of different than that and I was looking for a team that could bring my idea to life.

With Fusion, that game was very story-driven. In that game, I believe I was able to explain Samus as a character, as a person, not just somebody in armor. And I was not only explain Samus but the characters around her… with Super Metroid I showed, through her relationship with the baby Metroid, some of her maternal instincts. Between those two stories I feel I was able to explain Samus as a person. But because Metroid equals Samus, I'd like to develop her character further, as a soldier, as a human, also as a woman. That's what they're (Team Ninja) hoping to do with Other M. Will create a new Metroid unlike anything ever experienced before." - Nintendo's Yoshio Sakamoto
