Metroid: Other M is exactly what is sounds like a video game. Samus Aran, protagonist of Nintendos Metroid series, is already known as one of the most iconic heroines in video game history. Now, with the launch of Metroid: Other M for the Wii system Tuesday, players are about to discover more about this enigmatic bounty hunter.This latest entry in the legendary Metroid franchise marks a return to classic form. The new game is a result of a collaboration between Yoshio Sakamoto, the director of Super Metroid, and development studio Team NINJA.

The Wii Remote is held horizontally but players can point at the screen to switch to first-person view.The story picks up just after the events of 1994s Super Metroid. As Samus, one of the first female protagonists in video game history, embarks on a mission aboard a derelict spacecraft, players uncover the truth behind a mystery that puts the entire galaxy in peril.Metroid: Other M retails for $49.99. The ESRB rating is for teens.
