Not just making fun of the story, the game, but also the weird-ass theater mode. I didn't just go "Hey, I haven't hated on Metroid: Other M in a while, BETTER MAKE A TOPIC!" It's a new retsupurae.

TheRock1525 03/17/12 3:44:00 PM #107:	Also, I hate Other M because I believe it killed the series. Not in a "it ruined the storyline forever" series. I mean that it was so unsuccessful on all fronts (Less than 700,000 units in NA, less than 200,000 units in Japan) that there's a good chance we won't see Metroid again for a while.

Robazoid 03/17/12 3:46:00 PM #108:	My one hope is that maybe my nigh constant ***ing will join with all the other voices and reach Nintendo so that the next Metroid game opens with a card that says 'Other M had to go now, it's planet needed it. Sadly it died on the way back to its planet. Here's a signed document that shows that we'll never, ever mention it in any way ever again". And then I'll be able to play the new Metroid game which will be a sidescroller like Super, ZM, and Fusion.

And I don't mean make it like the Prime series, I mean like HD updates like Prince of Persia for the XBL Arcade or even the New Super Mario Bros. Wii route.

Westbrick 03/17/12 6:10:00 PM #124:	Well, I'm through part 6 so far and all I can say about it so far is that I don't think people are blowing Other M out of proportion enough. I was going into this expecting it to be terrible, so I figured I'd probably be thinking "hey this game didn't look as stupid as I was expecting." No, it was way, way worse than I thought it would be. I'm kind of surprised people are defending to this game to be honest. My thoughts to a T. You're objectively wrong for liking the story of this game, period, end discussion. It's offensively bad. And for those who believe that the criticism surrounding the game is being blown out of proportion, let me just reiterate this: "Also, I hate Other M because I believe it killed the series. Not in a "it ruined the storyline forever" series. I mean that it was so unsuccessful on all fronts (Less than 700,000 units in NA, less than 200,000 units in Japan) that there's a good chance we won't see Metroid again for a while." Now, I hadn't seen the cutscenes myself before this video (because I had the good sense to keep away from the game), but oh my goodness, it's everything I feared and more. -- The Many Forms of Kobe: http://i39.tinypic.com/oqx98z.jpg -- credit to KIRBEH <cite>Westbrick posted [p:917922] in If you hav...

It's that they hate people liking the game, which is just absurd. Be a bit more reasonable people. From: htaeD \| #408 LOL if anyone thinks its the minority that hates Other M I don't think there's a clear majority either way. But I posted my evidence, where's yours? Just because one side is louder, doesn't mean it's bigger. Of course, even the people who like Other M generally consider it one of the weaker games in the series from what I have seen. Myself included. From: TheRock1525 \| #557 The Japanese do like their women submissive and weak! Oh hey, there's a good idea! Make accusations of sexism then support them with blatant racism!

Just based on some wikipedia stats, Other M sold maybe a little less than Echoes and more than Zero Mission. If someone's got more reliable figures, that'd be cool. Prime sold like 3 million copies. Normally 1.5 million is about average for the series, Other M sold only just over half that. Amusingly it had some of the strongest opening sales in the series, and then unusually for a Nintendo game absolutely collapsed on the lifetime sales.

I would say that if it was intentional, if were really supposed to see Samus' interest in Adam to be sick and bad and if we were supposed to see Adam not as heroic but as kind of a bad person, that would be pretty interesting.
