Full description

Intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran returns to her side-scrolling roots for an all-new adventure developed by Nintendo and Team Ninja. The storyline takes place directly after 1994's Super Metroid and delves more into Samus' personal history than in previous games. As one would expect from the team responsible for the Ninja Gaiden series, Metroid: Other M features fast-paced combat, a highly cinematic presentation, and distinctive controls. The game is primarily played while holding the Wii Remote horizontally, as Samus blasts aliens, tucks into a morph ball, and acquires new powers to access different areas. In addition to the default third-person view, the game lets you quickly switch to a first-person perspective for scanning environments or shooting specific targets. Shifting viewpoints is accomplished by pointing the Wii Remote at the television screen.
