Metroid: Other M is a video game for the Wii developed by "Project M", a team consisting of staff members from Nintendo, Team Ninja, and D-Rockets. It was announced by Nintendo of America president and CEO Reggie Fils-Aime and a trailer was briefly shown during the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009. The game features gameplay in both first- and third-person perspectives. Fils-Aime stated that Metroid: Other M would "take you deeper into Samus story", and also noted that the game would be a return to the style of the traditional series as opposed to the Prime series, though the game would have a "harder edge".

Problems

Crash Post Training

With 3.0-191 and likely other revisions, the game crashes toward the end of the animation post the initial training.

Crashes With HLE Audio

The DSP LLE is needed, only twice, to avoid crashes in the game. First , during the tutorial when the person says "OK , looking good" and second when the player is at the Sector 2 Elevator for the first time. The DSP HLE plug-in works fine for the rest of the game. This no longer seems to be necessary in 3.0-191 and likely prior revisions.

Configuration

This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.

^3.0	Windows 7 x64	AMD Phenom II X6 1100T	AMD Radeon HD 6850	Almost perfect, Frames at 55-60 with DX11, some slows but very playable, still playing the game.	Aldaris
