![]() ![]() IGN: How is Project M separated between the teams? How big is the overall team? Yoshio Sakamoto: In addition to the members of the staff from Nintendo and Team Ninja, as you saw in the trailer, there are a lot of cinematics that help us tell the story within Other M so we're also working with a company called D-Rockets, led by a director named Mr. And our goal is to create the best Metroid: Other M that we can. Together, instead of being Nintendo and Team Ninja, we became Project M. They have the experience of creating action games. We have the experience of creating Metroid games. What I was looking for was a partner that could contribute their strengths and possibly balance out our weaknesses, assuming we could do the same for them. Granted, I appreciated the fact that they did have game development experience, but not specifically with regard to action games. During those initial meetings, I did not approach Team Ninja knowing that they were Team Ninja and had that experience behind them. When I was considering what I was going to look for in this partner, I not only wanted to find somebody who was going to understand my concept as it existed, but could also contribute based on their own experience and expertise and I was very fortunate when I proposed this idea to members of Team Ninja and they seemed to really be able to understand and grasp my idea and they were happy to jump on board as well. It was at that time that I realized I needed to find a partner help me realize my concept. ![]() My team and myself have had experience working on Metroid game, but it's all been in the handheld realm and it's all been in 2D, so we lacked both the experience and the manpower to create a 3D Metroid experience. Yoshio Sakamoto: I've been working on Metroid games for quite awhile, but in 2006, having seen the Wii, its capabilities and the features available through it, I wanted to challenge myself to see what I could produce for that particular system and it was at that point that I started mulling other concepts. We're wondering how the partnership with Team Ninja came about. IGN: Metroid: Other M was a huge surprise for us at E3 2009 and we're really excited for it. ![]()
