Nintendo Date Samus' Latest Adventure for Europe

After months of speculation and a vague 'Q3' release window, Nintendo has today officially announced the release date for Samus' next outing, Metroid: Other M on the Wii.

The much hyped return of Samus, in a new game being co-developed by Nintendo and renowned third party development studio Team Ninja, will hit stores shelves across Europe on September 3rd, a mere 3 days after the game will hit stores shelves in the US.

The story begins immediately following the events of Super Metroid, when a baby Metroid gave its life to protect Samus. With voice acting in English language and more than one hour of beautifully rendered cut-scenes in total throughout the game, Metroid: Other M is not simply fun to play but also exciting to watch.

Playing as Samus, players will seamlessly switch between third-person and first-person gameplay for the first time in a Metroid game. Explore and fight in third-person by holding the Wii Remote sideways, and - at any time you choose - switch immediately to a first-person view through Samus' eyes by simply pointing the Wii Remote at the screen.

The seamless switch from cut-scenes to gameplay and the smooth transition between third-person and first-person perspectives make this the most cinematic experience you'll have had in a Metroid game.

This is a dramatic new direction for a legendary franchise and a bold new blend of cinematics, storytelling and stylish, no-holds-barred action. Charge up your Beam, arm your Bombs and get ready to scan your environment for a copy of Metroid: Other M when it launches across Europe for Wii on 3rd September.
