In a recent interview with famitsu magazine, Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto, talked a little about is up-coming title, Metriod Other M. There wasn’t very much in the way of “new” news coming out of the interview. There was a interesting tidbit about some of the cut scenes in the game.

“However, different from the rest of the series, this time we’re strongly depicting the human side of Samus through such things as movies. She’s a strong woman, but she also has a fragile side. We want to make a game whose charms can be felt from the story areas and these human touches as well. It’s an action game, but it’s capable of having a clear emotional side.”

How do you feel about Samus moving away from her cold persona and showing emotion?
