Yoshio Sakamoto, Metroid’s co-creator, has spoken openly to Japanese gaming publication Famitsu regarding the next iteration of the Metroid franchise on the Nintendo Wii, Metroid: Other M.

“This time we’re strongly depicting the human side of Samus through such things as movies. She’s a strong woman, but she also has a fragile side. We want to make a game whose charms can be felt from the story areas and these human touches as well. It’s an action game, but it’s capable of having a clear emotional side. This Metroid is being developed with the aim of the ideal form of the old Metroid.”
