Metroid: Other M, Hybrid 2D and 3D Gameplay

Another one of the Nintendo hits was announced in Nintendo's San Francisco media summit, Metroid: Other M. The gaming is said to feature a hybrid 2D and 3D gameplay and is set to release on June 27. Nintendo explained the gaming by stating the following: "While much of the game is reminiscent of 2D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran's past." The wiimote can be held sideways for the 2D sections, and then used as a pointer to "blast foes in first-person and hunt the world for clues and hidden passages." The game is a collaboration between Nintendo and Team Ninja, which is the developer behind the recent Ninja Gaiden titles, and should prove to be very interesting.
