Other M thoughts: - Japanese fan translation text is a lot better than the English text - This opening tutorial area is the worst in Metroid so far - The animations on Samus in combat are incredibly slick - MercurySteam really takes a lot from Other M and does it better, gotta say

- 8 direction dpad movement is fine and good even - Samus taking orders from slimy men is important for her arc in Dread and (apparently) Ravenous. I sure hope all these dudes die later on! - Can't say Other M isn't as ambitious as a Metroid game should be

- Pixel hunts are going to be so much worse with this Dolphin config.... Oof - Choosing to believe "princess" as a nickname is the result of a misunderstanding of the specifics of Samus' Chozo heritage - I don't actually mind Samus' characterization as an under emotive undersocialized freak

- I do love Anthony. Shining part of this game - One of the first places you can enter is a women's restroom (the men's is closed off) and with no discernible purpose - I do love how serious this game is. - Adam, navigation booths, taking place on a space station... Many points for "it's 3D Fusion"

The "Samus needs Adam's permission" is stupid. The thumbs down thing is silly. Adam as an unfailing moral paragon and authority figure is stupid. But then again I really dislike anime and this is anime to me. I forgot "father figure Adam" is just textual. Geez
