Metroid: Other M – Success or Failure?

We agree that Metroid: Other M deserves a lot more credit than it gets, so it was really fun to go against popular opinion here and try to convince the masses. Give Other M another chance!

One of the most polarizing games of last generation was Metroid: Other M. A drastic new direction from Nintendo we met with harsh critical and fan reception. We share some different perspectives on this unique entry in the Metroid franchise!
