Metroid: Other M gameplay video shows combat

Yesterday's Metroid: Other M video showed off some of the stunning cut-scenes in the game but now we are getting stuck into the game proper with some explosive Samus shooting action.

The Prime games were all about first-person shooting but now we can see Samus running around corridors in her power suit and blasting enemies. As you can see you can move slowly using an over the shoulder viewpoint.

As well as shooting, she also shows off her wall-jumping skills. Take a look at the video and let us know what you think.

'Other M', 'Sin & Punishment' delayed

Nintendo has announced that Metroid: Other M and Sin & Punishment: Star Successor have been delayed.

Other M - the first original series Metroid title for the Wii - has had its release date pushed back from June 27 to August 31.

Science fiction shooter Sin & Punishment: Star Successor will now arrive in stores on June 27, having previously been slated for June 7.

Elsewhere, Nintendo has revealed release dates for a host of dowloadable releases. Photo Dojo and Earthworm Jim will be released as DSiWare on May 10, while Bit.Trip Runner will be released as WiiWare on May 17.

Gameloft's Hero Of Sparta gets a digital release for the DSi on May 30. Flametale and A Kappa's Trail arrive on the platform on June 7 and 14 respectively.

Metroid Other M Preview

Localisation manager for Team Ninja's take on the Metroid universe discussed the forthcoming Wii game at Nintendo's media summit.

Nate Bihildorf discusses some of the mechanics behind the new style, with Samus switching from classic side scrolling view to a more modern first person perspective to uncover more about her environment. He also goes into some basic plot and timeline details, certainly a treat for Metroid fans.
