The Metroid franchise has long been one of Nintendo's most beloved series, known for its mix of exploration, atmosphere and intense boss battles. Ever since the original Metroid on the NES, the series has pushed the boundaries of game design with its nonlinear world structure, empowering players to uncover upgrades and piece together the story through their own discoveries. With Samus Aran as one of gaming's earliest and most iconic female protagonists, Metroid has held a special place in the history of video games.
Metroid: Other M was released in 2010 for the Nintendo Wii, developed through a collaboration between Nintendo, Team Ninja and D-Rockets. The game experimented with a hybrid gameplay style, blending third-person exploration with first-person aiming, while also focusing heavily on cinematic storytelling. While the game divided fans with its portrayal of Samus and narrative choices, it remains a unique entry in the series: ambitious, experimental, and distinct from both the traditional 2D and Prime-style 3D games.
InvictusBM LP #009
My first Metroid LP, and also the first blind LP I started. I went into it not really knowing what to expect - I'm a huge fan of earlier titles like Super Metroid, Zero Mission and Fusion (and of course the Prime series), and this one has such mixed opinions that I just wanted to try it out for myself. In the end, I did enjoy it, but I think it would've been better if Team Ninja made a Metroid movie instead of Other M, the quality in the cutscenes was there! This LP lasted for 25 episodes.
