Today Nintendo showed off a few of their 1st and 3rd party Wii and DS games at a special press event. Besides showing more of the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Monster Hunter Tri, the event also had some Metroid goodness as well. Since being announced at E3 last year the Nintendo-Team Ninja developed Metroid: Other M hasn’t been shown that much but thankfully that changed today.
Not only did Nintendo release a new batch of screens showing Samus Aran’s latest adventure but they also announced when gamers can get their hands on the game. On June 27 Wii owners will be able to partake in the 2D side-scrolling/fps adventure that is Metroid: Other M. And yes, the game switches up between the classic 2D side-scrolling perspectives found in the old-school Metroid adventures for the core combat/exploration sections along with allowing players to go into fps mode whenever they wish.
It’s probably blasphemy to admit this but I haven’t played any of the GameCube/Wii Metroid games but for some reason I’m really looking forward to trying out Other M. Perhaps it’s due to the involvement of Team Ninja but I just need to remind myself that Samus won’t be wearing any bikinis complete with jiggle physics ala Dead or Alive.

"I just need to remind myself that Samus won’t be wearing any bikinis complete with jiggle physics ala Dead or Alive."
Or will she? NES glitch, anyone? SNES gameover sequence?
