Is Other M Really as bad as I have heard?
no Metroid experience by the way
It isn't, but I have no idea how GMUN has it in his top 25 games. It's only "bad" compared to Super Metroid, Prime, and Echoes.
Then again, I'm the guy who prefers Other M to Brawl and Majora's Mask (although neither of the latter two is my kind of game).
My input:
Highest Priority - Super Mario Galaxy & Twilight Princess
Next-Highest - Super Mario Galaxy 2 & Resident Evil 4
Get at Some Point - Metroid Prime 3
On-The-Fence - New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Metroid: Other M, Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Avoid - Mario Kart Wii
I have never played Skyward Sword, Xenoblade, DKCR, or either Kirby game, and I'm not exactly all that interested in any of them aside from maybe Zelda. I just got a PS3 yesterday evening, as a matter of fact.
Actually, the list of Wii games I'm most interested in is best symbolized by ScottishDuck17's top 10 (and the Wii is his favorite current-gen console BTW):
10) Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
9) Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
8) Sonic Colors
7) The House of the Dead: Overkill
6) Okami
5) A Boy and His Blob
4) The Last Story
3) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
2) NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
1) Super Mario Galaxy
