Metroid: Other M

Metroid: Other M was announced by Nintendo at E3 '09. It is a new Metroid game announced at E3 2009, developed by Team Ninja and Nintendo.

Trailer
The trailer presented showed a mix of classic Metroid game play, 1st person Metroid Prime game play, and new 3rd person game play. It featured characters who appeared to be Ridley, Mother Brain, and Adam Malkovich as well as Samus Aran. Recurring creatures include a swarm of Reos and a type of Space Pirate that has only been seen in Metroid Fusion and the 2002 Metroid manga. Samus has the updated Varia Suit first gained in Metroid: Zero Mission, indicating that this story takes place some point after that event.

Suit upgades seen include the Power Beam and Varia Suit (which she appears to begin with) as well as the Charge Beam, Missiles, Ice Beam, and Speed Booster. This adventure sees Samus making heavy use of dynamic attacks, along with her usual abilities. The trailer is now appearing in the Nintendo Channel, along with several other previews and trailers for other games.

Name
The title of Metroid: Other M is abbreviated to "MOM", and the subtitle is an anagram for "Mother", strengthening this game's connection to Mother Brain (who appears in the trailer) as well as other possible maternal themes from the series history.

It also may also refer to an infamous line from the end of Metroid: "THE GALAXY MAY BE INVADED BY THE OTHER METROID. PRAY FOR A TRUE PEACE IN SPACE."
