Snøft, snøft, snøft. Lige omkring sådan skulle det havde lydt, da Yoshio Sakamoto fik sine tegninger og mellemsekvenser at se, fra det kommende Wii-spil Metroid: Other M. I interviewserien "Iwata Asks" fortæller spillets producer om sin reaktion:
"I was so inspired I couldn't put it into words. I think anyone would become speechless if they were presented with storyboards that were so far beyond their wildest dreams," fortæller Sakamoto.
Da produceren senere fik mellemsekvenserne at se i animeret form, blev reaktionen endnu stærkere fortæller Ryuzi Kitaura, som arbejder med spillets design:
"He stood close to me, checking the monitors. When we'd shoot a particularly moving scene, I'd ask him 'How was that, Sakamoto-san?', but he'd be completely silent - again. I was really worried, thinking 'Oh no, he doesn't like it...' But then when I peeked at his face, his eyes were full of tears."
Vi glæder os til at se om Metroid: Other M også kan frembringe tårer hos andre, når spillet udkommer til September.
