Sakamoto recapped some of what’s known about Metroid: Other M. For this new Metroid title, Nintendo has teamed with Tecmo’s Team Ninja and CG studio D-Rockets. Nintnedo and Team Ninja are working on the actual game content, with D-Rockets handling the movies.

Said Sakamoto, “This project between three companies, which we call Project M, is progressing extremely well.” It’s a big project, he explained, so there has been some trouble here and there. However, the development staff works through the problems together.

Sakamoto went into just a bit more depth when pressed by the magazine.

“This Metroid is being developed with the aim of the ideal form of the old Metroid,” said Sakamoto. Team Ninja’s know how is being put to use in creating the Metroid world and in moving the “2D jump action game” into “3D action.” Sakamoto believes the quality will fully satisfy players.

More intriguingly, he said “It’s a game that can be realized because of the Wii.”
