Aug 26 2010Oh Hai Samus!: Sweet Live-Action Metroid Ad

metroid-commercial.jpg

This is an awesome live-action commercial for Metroid: Other M, which is dropping next week on the Wii. What's the other M? MOTHERBRAIN! Or maybe just mother. Or -- OR -- Moosetracks ice cream. Yes I just crushed a whole gallon and have the feeling it's gonna be a soupy stool day aside, great job with the commercial, guys. Also, I hope you know I was only kidding about the whole ice cream thing. It was Rocky Road.

Hit the jump for the must-see commercial, as well as two other worthwhile videos of Samus telling her backstory (with lots of old gameplay footage).

I am so excited for this game.

Man, Nintendo might as well just take my wallet this year. :|

Hawt

the other m is mooseknuckle.

Coolllllllllll, is it a pot movie???

wait metroid is a women ?

M = Missing Titties

I am very happy in my pants

I like Boobs :D

Woa! Child-friendly and boner-crushing Nintendo made this?

@5 No samus is a woman lol

I'm in lesbians with her.

@9, nope Team Ninja is making this.. :)

In the video titled "Samus Story" it goes straight from Super Metroid to The Other M....does that mean Nintendo is disregarding the "Prime" series as part of the actual story? That would be kinda cool....

sooo.... anyone knows who she is?
Looks familiar
The actress I mean, don't be smartassing me saying "she is Samus =D"

@13 All of the games in the series are part of the timeline. However this particular game takes place immediately after "Super Metroid" and before the Prime Trilogy.

The Metroid timeline is as follows:

Metroid (Zero Mission)
Metroid Prime
Mteroid Prime: Hunters
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Metroid II: Return of Samus
Super Metroid
Metroid: Other M
Metroid Fusion

Now you know. And that's half of, uh, something.

does any one else hate wii controls as much as i do?

Eh? That skinny, malnourished-looking chick makes for a very unconvincing intergalactic bounty hunter. Awful choice.

@5 Metroid is an alien, Samus is a woman.

@16 I've never known the timeline before. That's interesting. So where does "Metroid Pinball" fit into that chronology?

@18 Who cares she hott. STFU and enjoy the cosmic eye candy

@18 Clearly you couldn't see the video as you were trapped under the fat rolls of your ideal woman.

@11 You made my day haha.

Samus has a tight vag...just ask Tom Hanks

Her pipe-cleaner arms couldn't carry shopping, let alone a plasma cannon. It's called bad casting.

And no - her teenage-boy physique doesn't do it for me. Flesh is sexy, bones are not.

@17 Other M will get to be controlled like old school snes games
and not with the motion stuff... So i don't really get why you'd hate it

All that technology and she didn't know how much time it had passed?

@25 I have your sexy flesh AND bone right here!!

More like, Metroid, other KRATOS GOD OF WAR amiright? :-/ :-/

really though...who is that girl playing Samus? Not sure if its my lack of researching skills or if they just are not listing it anywhere.

Looks like Nintendo borrowed some stuff from God of War. Definitely not gonna complain.

@29 Absolutely, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the first couple flashes of gameplay in the first video.

Congratulations Wii gamers, you may have gotten your first big kid game.

@29 Absolutely, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the first couple flashes of gameplay in the first video.

Finally a reason to get a Wii? Maybe.

@30 She kinda looks like Bryce Dallas Howard, Ron Howard of Andy Griffith show & Happy Days fame daughter. I think Opie directed some shit to. Not sure why she would be in a Metroid commercial but the resemblance is uncanny.

Look what the catsuit dragged in...

@ the too skinny comments.... The suit handles all the crazy strength and agility.
The actress looks a lot like Bryce Dallas Howard. I.E. the girl from The Village and Lady in the Water. She's hella cute with or w/o a little weight in her.
Game controls like old school until it goes 1st person. That's when the motion crap comes in. Hate wiu, but psyched for this.

@DolbyFighter They have No More Heroes for the wii do your research before you make yourself look stupid. Fan boy.

@37 Don't forget Madworld

But don't ya'll think the graphics can be a little better? Just asking

@17 i hate them to! they are terrible! the gamecube controls were the best ones by far.

looks like a great game.

(In the live action commercial) Samus' suit is already super skinny for a heavy armored suit. The arms and legs of that thing are tiny! Can you imagine how skinny the person in that suit would have to be to fit it? XD

For all you chubby chasers complaining about her skinny arms and her inability to be a bounty hunter: she has Chozo DNA which gives her super strength.

i have a bonner

January Jones?

@41 thank you. you beat me to the punch.

I am THE biggest metroid fanatic and this game looks UNREAL. all those classic metroid moments in fcking amazing cinematics... I just jizzed, like a lot.

PUMPED.

"she has Chozo DNA " stfu nerd....the need to explain is retarded. Lets just go with its a dam video game and she is a hot intergalactic slut!

I hate the wii controls too.

That chick is FLAT!

Thanks for so beautiful posting.keep going,You have gained a new reader,

At least they caster Samus better than they did Prince of Persia.

@25 Yay for women who look realistic and not like barbies.

When is the movie coming out? I'd see it.

Samus is and has always been a women if i remember correctly.

i believe the actresses name is January Jones
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2322044672/nm0005064

I highly doubt it's January Jones. January is much bigger (she's in Mad Men and has to maintain a slightly fuller figure because of the era it's based on) and older looking. The woman is obviously very altered though - from behind everything about her looks fake. I'd say even if it is J. Jones, it's almost not right to say it IS her because all they've used is a few shots of someone's face and then gone and altered the crap out of them (and everything else).

OOh I just saw this on TV and my sister's like "Oh look, a female Iron man." and I'm like "Noooo it's Metroid! And that there is Samus. And it's a frickn' video game!"

her name is January Jones

Umm...i dont think thats January Jones at all...the chick in the commercial is hotter, thinner, younger, and her facial structure is different...damn i wish i knew this actress's name.

It looks like the girl from Cold Case, Kathryn Morris http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0606700/ , only a miniature version....

Isnt that Kristen Bell???http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0068338/

Has anybody found out who the girl in the metroid other m commercial is yet?

naaa. sems impossible to find out...

i wrote NOA customer service and got this in response:

Thank you for writing. I appreciate your interest in Nintendo and its advertising. While I would like to be able to provide the information you seek, we use a variety of advertising and talent agencies to provide the actors hired to fill the parts in our commercials. Therefore, we do not have access to any specific information about any of the actors.

Sincerely,

@Sven thanks for the reply. It is kind of odd that a company doesn't know the specifics on actors or actresses they use in the product's commercials.

Accoriding to another site and IMDb.com, the actress' name is Jessica Martin. Though personally, I think January Jones (at least from the pictures on IMDB) looks more like the girl in the commercial.
