Mario and Zelda are probably the two most important properties within Nintendo’s rich assortment of IP, but Metroid’s certainly no slouch, and the franchise has great appeal in the West. Nintendo’s taking an interesting approach with the upcoming Metroid: Other M (slated to launch in late June) by partnering up with Team Ninja. The game features classic, old-school 2D Metroid gameplay while still incorporating 3D elements. We’ve seen a number of promo trailers, but this newly released video finally dives headfirst into in-game footage. Wii owners will definitely be keeping an eye on this one. Check out the new trailer courtesy of GameVideos.com.
