Metroid: Other M is a game that was released on the Wii on August 31, 2010. The game was developed by Team Ninja together with Nintendo SPD. Gameplay trailers have shown that the controls will utilize the Wii Remote held sideways for third-person exploration and also pointed at the screen to enter a first-person perspective. According to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, the story of Metroid: Other M focuses largely on the series' protagonist Samus Aran. This Metroid game will be returning to the game series' third person perspective, with an ability to enter a first person mode for accuracy and scanning.

Plot



Spoiler warning:The following contains key plot or intense ending details.



The story begins immediately following the events of Super Metroid, when a baby Metroid gave its life to protect Samus. She receives a distress signal known as a "Baby's Cry" and moves to intercept it immediately. The signal is coming from the Bottle Ship, a decommissioned Galactic Federation space facility. Once aboard, she discovers that a Federation platoon is already on board, and the team is being led by her old commander and mentor, Adam Malkovich. She decides to stay to help out Adam and his team. They later discover that the Bottle Ship was used for the illegal raising and training of creatures as possible bioweapons. However, they discover that something is causing the creatures to go rogue, and Samus is instructed to find it. She later finds out that the creature she discovered is actually Ridley, and that he is responsible for the creatures going rogue. After defeating it, she meets with Madeline again, who tells her that the ship is keeping Metroids in a secret sector known as Sector Zero, along with an artificial intelligence to simulate Mother Brain, known as MB. Samus sets out to destroy the sector, but is stopped by Adam, who tells her that the Metroids on board can't be frozen. He tells her that he will cause the sector to self-destruct, sacrificing himself in the process. Samus then chases after Ridley, who had escaped after the battle. She finds him lifeless, however. She then discovers a woman who releases a Queen Metroid. Upon defeating it, the woman runs away. Samus gives chase and discovers that she is the real Madeline Bergman. The woman whom Samus met earlier was actually the AI known as MB, or Melissa Bergman. Melissa appears and commands the creatures to attack again, and Samus is nearly killed. However, the Federation appears and kills Melissa before she can do any harm. Anthony appears again, as he had actually managed to save himself when Ridley threw him towards the lava. Being the last surviving member of his squad, Madeline Bergman is placed under his care. The Bottle Ship is scheduled to be destroyed, and the project there is considered closed.
