The game was originally intended to be released on June 27, 2010, but was delayed. [42] It is the only game in the Metroid series to have been delayed from its originally announced release date, as Metroid Prime 4 was delayed before a release date was announced. Many aspects of the original Metroid game came about due to technical limitations—he cited the Ice Beam as an example. They couldn't add any major changes to the code for upgrades, but simply changing enemies' color and collision settings led to one of the most iconic and dynamic features in the series. He sought to recreate these limitations in Other M's development by forcing the use of only one Wii Remote, hoping this would lead to inventive workarounds for issues rather than just powering through them like other companies do.

Stop to aim a few missiles at the hives to stop the bugs from respawning endlessly. Beware of the Fly Traps as well -- these carnivorous plants will gobble Samus up. Your recourse, should this happen, is to immediately go into Morph Ball form and detonate a bomb.Others criticized the authorization system for making the game significantly more linear than previous titles and preventing sequence breaking, as well as the fact that Adam inexplicably restricted the use of the non-offensive Varia Feature, Gravity Feature and Grapple Beam upgrades when they were first needed, with the Varia being authorized after Samus has taken a long trek through several superheated rooms. Additional criticism was directed at the authorization system's troubling implications for the personalities of Samus and Adam, in particular, Samus' willingness to restrict her abilities, even ones that Adam had not directly forbidden the use of. Considering Adam's derisive and secretive behavior towards Samus, critics felt that Samus' obedience was uncharacteristic and unreasonable. Similarly, Adam's tendency to authorize upgrades well after they were necessary could be perceived as being negligent, cruel or even abusive, contradicting the portrayal of Adam as the noble commander that Samus remembered in Fusion.

As a result of the sales of Other M falling quite short of Nintendo's estimates (they planned to sell millions of copies by the end of 2010), Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé wanted to know from fans what went wrong with Other M. [36] In 2017, Fils-Aimé was interviewed by the YouTuber ProJared, who called Other M as much of a waste of time as The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. [37] In 2022, Fils-Aimé said that he had believed Other M would be a "defining" or "killer" moment for Metroid. Following the game's failure, he suggested at a meeting with Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto that the first five hours of the game did not allow players to get invested into the story. [38] Canonicity Proceed through the northern doors and you'll find more Zoomers. Kill them and run up the stairs, ignoring the broken computer terminal. Exit the Navigation Booth room and run through the northeast passage. At the far end you'll get your first taste of the local flavor. The Biosphere is overgrown and overrun with alien beings. You'll first encounter Zebbos and their familiar hives.Numerous sectors split the ship into at least four distinct regions. The directions in this walkthrough will guide Samus through the ship, detailing her efforts to uncover the mystery behind the events of the game. Due to the exploratory nature of the game and the layout of hidden items, please note that these directions are only one of many ways to go about your business. Many years after Other M was released, Sakamoto stated that working with Team Ninja on this game was "surprisingly inspiring".
