Of Breasts and Men

This may end up being a short post, but whatever.

So I'm doing my usual keeping up on the video game news, when another article of Metroid: Other M pops up. It reveals nothing new about gameplay or story elements, just confirms what I knew from the first trailer: that Metroid: Other M tells you more about Samus. This is fine. I want to know about Samus. She's that cute, serious girl you want to talk to, but is always quiet and hard to approach. I'd like to know more about her.

What I DON'T like is that people for one reason or another are getting all pissed off about the game for the wrong reasons. Call me a fanboy, but so far I don't mind how the game is progressing. The major problem with the game is the reason why some people were happy with it when it was announced: it's being co-developed by Team Ninja. See the thing people don't understand is that the developer of the game is NOT Team Ninja. Nor is it Nintendo. It is really Project M. "Who or what is Project M?" I hear you so blatantly ask.

Well, they are a Fusion (see what I did there? Fusion!) of people from both Nintendo and Team Ninja. In fact I'd say their is more Nintendo influence than Team Ninja influence. What is Team Ninja known most for? Combat. Whether it's Ninja Gaiden, or Dead or Alive their known for making killing stuff look COOL.

This is what Metroid needs. It's never been too great at combat until metroid prime, and even then it was only necessary during bosses, and occasional fights. However, it's still going to have the loneliness and isolation Metroid is known for, as well as the adventuring everyone loves. Team Ninja is just there to increase the melee combat of the game, as the story seems to be predominately done by Sakamoto, the expert on all things Metroid. So Don't hate the Ninja!... At least not until it comes out.
