Nintendo is partnering with Team Ninja, not Retro Studios, for the newest outer space adventure starring Samus Aran, Metroid: Other M. The Wii game is a mix of first and third-person action. It looks spectacular.

Team Ninja looks like it will do wonderful things with the Wii hardware, giving Metroid fans who crave a return to third-person action something to look forward to. And the promise of Team Ninja artists and Samus Zero Suit action is practically too much to bear.
A trio of new screens is available after this.
DISCUSSION
1) So if Retro's not doing it what have they been doing for nearly 2 years now?
2) Looks exciting, but I don't think it's very Metroid-ish. This game looks loud, action packed, with explosions and epic music/CGI cutscenes, yet Metroid has always been about desolate exploration (sort of. The latest games have deviated away from that a bit). I'm sure Nintendo fans will eat it up, but AFAIK they were supposed to hate games like this.
