E3 09: Metroid: The Other M Release Date Revealed?

Rumor: Samus Heading for March

by Coop





In Gamervision's new feature, Frame by Frame, we take an extremely close look at game trailers. Usually we find dozens of little hints and tips, but sometimes there's a bit more. When going through the Metroid: Other M trailer we found something that looks like it might be a release date for Nintendo and Team Ninja's action title.


At the end of the trailer, the targeted "2010" release date flashes on the screen. If you look above it, however, Samus's ammo count shows 3/25. March 25th, 2010 is a Thursday, an uncommon date for game releases, and March is a bit early for a title this big. Then again, Nintendo often releases games on strange dates, and Metroid Prime 3 came out in August.

So, what do you think? Oversight? Coincidence? Or a revelation in The Other M trailer?

    Wow. That would be an awesome catch. While that does seem soon, I do not believe that it is either a oversight or coincidence.

    I'll have to make sure I start watching the frame by frame series.

    I would believe it a lot more if the max missle count weren't a multiple of 5.

    Doesn't really make sense why they would hide this in the trailer and not just come out and announce it, but it could be true. Then again I could be Dracula, but I'm not telling.

    Metroid release dates are random but I'm addicted and most of the release dates are around the 25 of the month so I think this was put in here for someone to discover
