Did this game recently come out? I was under the impression that it had been out for awhile.
I do not play the Metroid series, but I watch a friend of mine play older games in the series like Super Metroid.
All I have heard about Metroid: Other M is that the game is heavy on the storyline and has some gameplay quirks that other games in the series lack. I am not sure if I would enjoy this type of game, as I liked the fact that Samus was a mysterious bounty hunter whose gender was left ambiguous for the most part unless you completed a secret requirement.
