So a little after a year since it was first revealed to enormous fanfare, Metroid: Other M is finally released to the masses. The changes it promised to bring to the Prime formula were much welcomed and I was extremely excited to get my hands on it. In the end, a lot of the changes represent bold change and a promising future, but some of the core ideals were lost in translation.
Other M is co-developed by Nintendo and Team Ninja who is of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive fame. The idea of turning Metroid into a fast-paced action game derivative was one that I thought was a slam dunk. While I certainly enjoyed all of the Prime games, they always felt foreign to me. They were clearly Metroid titles at their heart, but with the standard set so high and so early by Super Metroid, I always thought why they should try to mirror that title. With Other M, they get a little closer, but it's still not quite there. The game consists of pseudo-side scrolling sections and 3D action combined with the FPS elements of the Prime games. This works quite well, but the control implementation severely hampers the experience.

Just wanted to let you all know that there is about 40 new backgrounds for the signature generator.
Also the updating function has been fixed and should be working correctly. Let me know on the forums, or on the contact page if it's still not working for you.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that for right now temporarily, the signatures are not being updated. We are working on this and hope to have it back up very soon.
Creating signatures is still fine and will automatically be updated when the problem is fixed.
Sorry for the inconvience!
