Nintendo brought out the big guns for today’s E3 press conference, and no one on the company’s roster has a bigger gun than Samus.
Bringing Nintendo’s presentation to a dramatic close and prompting enthusiastic applause from the audience, Reggie Fils-Aime announced his company is collaborating with Tecmo’s famed development studio Team Ninja on an all-new Metroid game for Wii subtitled Other M.
In a dramatic shift from Samus’ adventures in the Metroid Prime trilogy, the trailer for Metroid: Other M showed a camera switching between first and third-person perspectives for varying gameplay.
“I’m guessing even the most passionate Metroid fans found some surprise in the trailer for Metroid: Other M,” said Fils-Aime on-stage at E3. “This historic collaboration (between Nintendo and Team Ninja) is going to reveal a Metroid unlike any you’ve experienced before.”
Metroid: Other M is currently scheduled to hit Wii in 2010.

OMFG! I wanted to faint when I saw this, but held off enough to see the whole thing. I can’t fricken’ wait! My only concern is that Team Ninja might stray too much away from the Metroid feel and give Samus a huge rack, but this is just a teaser. It looks awesome! OMFG!

Its probably nothing, but, the missile and energy count were in the HUD when the year came up, 2010. So the numbers on screen were, 3-25-2010. I dont dare get my hopes up for a release as early as March, but that would be nice.
