Metroid: Other M is the second Metroid game developed for the Wii. Unlike the previous Prime, this one is being developed by Team Ninja and shifts from being a Second Person Shooter, to First Person as well.

Story

The game is set shortly after Super Metroid and begins as Samus Aran has finished recovering from her last battle with Mother Brain. She has not returned to space for long when she decided to answer a Baby's Cry distress signal from the mysterious Bottle Ship. There she meets with a Galactic Federation force commanded by her former superior Adam Malkovich and including her other former colleague Anthony Higgs. Adam initially forbids her from interfering with her mission due to retaining some bitterness towards her from the past. However, Samus insists on following and helping anyway, with Adam eventually reluctantly letting Samus help them on his terms.

So Samus begins her exploration of the Bottle Ship and a mysterious new conspiracy.

Gameplay

The game is controller with the Wii Remote held like a normal controller. It uses a unique control scheme in that Samus moves in three dimensions, but is controlled with the control pad which makes it similar to the 2-D games from the earlier games. Pointing the Wii Remote to the screen will cause the game to switch to first-person perspective, at which point she can scan certain areas and fire missiles.

Samus is equipped with most of her inventory from previous games, but most of them are cut off from Samus at the beginning with the excuse that Samus is waiting to earn permission from Adam to use them. She also has a variety of new moves such as a dodging move and a special move in which she can mount fallen enemies to finish them off.
