Well, now that Nintendo has gone ahead and hired a voice actor for the traditionally silent Metroid: Other M star Samus Aran, we suppose it makes sense that they want to make the most of her talents. What better than to let the now-verbose heroine narrate a retrospective of her adventures with space jellyfish?
Not only is it a nice summary of Metroid series events leading up to Other M (that is, Metroid, Metroid II: Return of Samus and Super Metroid), but it clues you in on the proper pronunciation of Zebes. Protip: it's not "zeebs." Thanks, years of internalized reading.
Metroid: Other M is out in North America on August 31. We'll let you know if it turns out to be a "perfect Metroid experience" in our full review.

I think this was a great way to recap the Metroid saga before the release of Other M. It still is kind of strange hearing Samus talk, though.
That was just about the coolest thing I have ever seen.
do want.
Excluding the Prime sub-series?
That poor baby metroid!
They did a very good job on that, ahhh waiting sucks.
That was very cool. Samus' voice sounds about how one would expect--cold, borderline emotionless. The voice of a bounty hunter. In any case, I still stand by my prediction that Other M is simply an anagrams for Mother
awesome
This makes me even more ashamed that I haven't played Super Metroid yet...
This is full of spoilers.
I advise you to at least beat SUPER METROID before watching this video.
Dragoon, I feel your pain.
Good thing I'm getting Super Metroid this week!
Thanks for the Heads up Skttr
Very cool recap, and I really like Samus' voice.
YAY! I've always pronounced Zebes right!
Holy Crapples... That was amazing!
lol, omg, I've been saying ZEEBS for ages!
The writing sounds way too much like a book and Samus is reading it to you.
Okay, now I'm hyped!
Also, I was saying Zebes the right way!
I refuse to stop saying Zeebs.
SWEET VIDEO! My excitement for Other M coninues to increased by everyday. I love Metroid and its by far my favorite long running Nintendo series (with exception to Prime games). Bring it on Team Ninja!
I always read "Zebehs", it's more natural in my language XD
@4. In the in-game timeline the Prime subseries comes after Other M, hence it's exclusion from this leadup video. (Check wikipedia for proof )
As for Other M itself I am amazingly pumped for this game, thanks go to Nintendo for releasing it here in Australia, the day after my bday!
epic
i also like how they reincarnated the end of super metroid in the with upgraded 3d graphics
I always pronounced it zeebeez, and yeah, I don't think I'll stop now.
However, zehbess sounds a hella lot better than zeebs.
@Mercenary55- this
Looks like I was saying it right the whole time. I Still prefer to pronounce Samus' last name "Uh-Ran" not "Aaron"
Omigosh, I thought it was pronounced Zee-bis!
that voice is pretty hot
I always pronounced it "Zebz"...I think I'll keep doing so, cause I like it.
That got me pumped though--might courtesy-play the 3 metroid games next week in anticipation...if I take any time off of Rytmik
@4.donth8: It looks like Other M takes place right after Super Metroid, so there's no need to go over the Prime series.
I watched this on the Nintendo Channel, pretty cool trip down memory lane. I like the merging of the in game SM ending cutscene with the Metroid Other M cutscene. Dang that infernal planet named Zebes, I've always called it "zeebeez". Ah well, I still think "zeebeez" has a better ring to it that "zehbehs", but I'll conform
I can't wait for this game. Only a few more days... ugh.
Why is there no story about the live action trailer?
It will forever be Zeebs in my heart.
