First off, it requires a system update to 4.3
Now about an hour or so in and just basically getting used to switching from 3rd to 1st person. In the words of Borat "It's nice". I have had it spaz out a few times when trying to go back to 3rd person (where it would go briefly in 1st again) once I've moved the Wii remote back to the horizontal position.
First thing that strikes you is that there's cutscenes ahoy! and a lot of them at the beginning. Mainly briefing you on what happened at the end of Super Metroid and some background exposition into Samus and what she's all about. You know, girl things. It kinda feels like some sort of kids programme in the form of 'Clarissa explains it all' in that she's constantly talking to herself and what emotions she's going through, and what she feels about this particular scenario etc.
Also some of the dialogue feels like it's lost in translation... "Baby's Cry"
Kinda reminds me of Ace Combat 6 and their constant abuse of "Fly with the Angels"
Indeed.
The blend of CGI cutscenes (they do look nice) merging into gameplay is very well done. Especially the run up to the training mode.
As for regular 3rd person controls. Very responsive. Metroid May Cry, or Metroid Gaiden if you like. Satisfying leaping about and spraying buckshot everywhere.
