You know what they should do for Michael Jackson Experience on Wii?
A gem encrusted wiimote condom.
Seriously, I should be in marketing.
Also, Namco are doing Ridge Racer 7 in 3D on PS3.
Also:
Suda 51’s cult development studio Grasshopper Manufacture is currently working on Codename D, a game where players must fight for their life in what’s called an “evil amusement park”.
Sweet justice my ass! Mickey is an American classic! We're being robbed by Europe! Europe is screwing us again! We can't stand for this!! . . . anyone buying the frustration? I do find that very strange though. November 26th is the day after Thanksgiving and typically the biggest shopping day in the US. I wonder why it's being held off until the following Tuesday. Very strange that they're not releasing it then.
Steel Battalion 2: No controller confirmed "There's nothing else to buy" for Kinect version, MS confirms
Oh come on. Nothing else to buy but an £130 controller that costs as much as a console?
I know Steel Battalion had this expensive mega mammoth joystick/board, but come on.
Sorry. Not gonna buy you not buying it.
Was Samus fine, unperturbed and her usual hardened self at the beginning of the game? Nope. She was drifting around space mourning the loss of the Baby. She was deeply affected by its loss. She basically stood by and watched as it was pierced by Mother Brain's attack and exploded. The first thing that shows her a baby-to-mother-like sentiment in her life is obliterated. It had an affect on her.
I also don't see how you are getting 4 battles with Ridley before Other M...? Once in Metroid/Zero Mission. He wasn't in Metroid 2, was he? Once in Super. Then came Other. I could be wrong about this. I am also NOT counting Mecha Ridley, or whatever its name was... but in the end it really doesn't matter.
She witnessed the death of her parents by Ridley. She saw the obliteration of the Baby by Mother Brain... The difference in Other M is:
SHE WAS NOT ALONE THERE. All the other times she was. It was her versus everything else. There was no one else at risk BUT her. If Adam was like a Father figure to her, maybe her Unit was like a family to her? Maybe Anthony was like a brother figure to her? The whole "Princess" reference thing was kinda like the way a brother would talk to a sister. (No pun intended!)
After losing the Metroid, already being in a state of shock and depression, the thing that killed your Mother and Father shows up AGAIN and attacks a brother figure (and also threatens to do the same to a Father figure... Adam was on the ship too!)... How could Samus --NOT-- be reminded of her past then? They even showed her as her younger self for a moment reacting to Ridley. She froze up, but she didn't run...
Problem with all of this and the American reaction to this game is: They never emphasized Ridley and the Death of Samus' parents in this country. Maybe they thought the American audience just wanted a cold and silent killer? They actually took out the extra endings from Zero Mission (I think it was) that showed Child Samus and Ridley's attack of her parents...
...but it shouldn't matter. If from the very beginning of the game she was fine and unmoved, I would understand the backlash to her freak-out, but from the VERY beginning with her brooding about the Baby, responding to the "Baby's Cry" on the "Bottle Ship"... You HAD to know SOMETHING wasn't quite right with her and it had to be resolved somehow!
______________
Edit: OK. Duh! Yeah. The Prime games. I forgot they existed for a moment and where they took place during the continuity! That's 2 more Ridley battles, yes... but my opinion hasn't changed because of them!
...AND... Lest we forget:
Ridley directly KILLED Samus' Parents --AND-- Took the baby to Mother Brain which lead to ITS death too!
______________
Finally: Why are people acting so surprised about her having feelings and speaking in Other M? Didn't Fusion (a Six-Year Old game) already address the fact that Samus had feelings for Adam? Wasn't there long, drawn out monologues in THAT game too?!
______________
But Just Dance 2 is out at the same time I think.
Kyle Hyde kicks mud in your eye.
Help me Obi-Wan.... oh wrong movie.
Oh right, people are going fall face first into a coffee table and break their faces.
I agree with you Leo but I really don't care about how many times she has faced Ridley or the chronology. I view most Metroid games like Zelda games. I assume there is no timeline or continuity, I know that is wrong in fans' minds but that's the way I approach it because the story in metroid games is always a lesser concern to me, after gameplay, gameplay, gameplay.
I liked the Samus freak out moment because it really sold Ridley as this dangerous bad ass monster. Before I always felt like I could take him, but because of the freak out and the moment when the suit disappears, it ramps up the tension. Showing here as a child was a little OTT but that is a very japanese way of doing game cutscenes. Random flashbacks and all that, beating you over the head with symbology.
Hm, new House of the Dead for Kinect... New Suda game for Kinect... New Steel Battalion for Kinect... Project Draco... That Rez thing... All for Kinect... I guess Microsoft started handing paychecks again.

Where is the new House of the Dead Kinect? How do you shoot? Shout fire? Stamp your foot on the ground? Or like Child of Eden auto fire?
It's called Rise of Nightmare, not much on it yet, so, who knows. I mean, it's a rail shooter, the bigger question is how the fuck you control Steel Battalion with it.
