Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M get release dates
Nintendo’s Media Summit started today with some rather big news. Two of Nintendo’s biggest franchises have 2010 release dates, and what’s more, they’re relatively soon! Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released on May 23, while Metroid: Other M will arrive on June 27.
These two games were shown for the first time at last year’s E3, highlights of Nintendo’s press conference. Galaxy 2 surprised few, given the success of the first game, but Other M, developed by Team Ninja, is a peculiar surprise. It will mix 2D and 3D gameplay for something that should feel like classic Metroids while still holding onto something from the Prime series. With a speaking Samus Aran, the story also promises to be more involved than we’ve probably ever seen in a Metroid game.
Meanwhile, Galaxy 2 looks to be a lot more of the “same” we saw in the first game, except this time with Yoshi and new power-ups. And, I’m not complaining. More of the same is exactly what they should do. There's a trailer for Galaxy 2 after the jump.
