How long of an adventure will Metroid Other M be?

Will it be short like the first three (6-8 hours) or longer like the Metroid Prime games (15 to 20+ hours). If it is short, will it deter you from wanting to purchase it? I know I'll be disappointed if it is, but I'll most likely purchase it anyway. Also, if there is any info on how long it is please enlighten me.

Dude, we dont have the game..... They havent told us anything really.C-Lee

I know that know one has the game, I'm just speculating, and just seeing if anyone has any thoughts or info on the length of it.

i actually researched for you... took like 4 hours...

i'm pretty sure that the story is gonna last at least 8 minutes. rough guess tho, i could be wrong.

Apparently speculating the length of the new Metroid game is uninteresting, so I will leave it at that. Sorry for the post.

Well because its a sidescroller/3d type game there should be more space on the disc to put more gameplay, and considering that its going to have a good story it could be longer. The prime didnt have a story that M is going to have, but it will have quite a bit of cutscenes so we could be getting a dual layered discs or they wont use dual layered, and that might cut the game short. Then again it seems to be using some nice looking textures aswell so maybe it might be dual layered meaning more space. They ussually aim for a single layered disc because its cheaper (even though it costs them like 7 cents per disc). Brawl was an exception because it had 3 gigs of orchestrated music. Maybe if the cutscenes, graphical data, and the possibilty of orchistrated music are put together then they will use a dual layered disc meaning more space to splap more gameplay on. Most likley no orchestrated music because its metroid which consists of computer generated tehno. Im hoping for dual layered. Simply put i believe it will be longer maybe around 10-20 hours because there is more focus on story this time around. (maybe i should have said that form the beginning before blabbering on about nothing, if u read this whole thing i congradulate u by awarding u with the Painguy Nonsense Tolerance Award) :D

I'm guessing it'll be standard length of a game, around 15ish hours?

Really, we don't know though lol. We barely know anything about the game.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and say that it's going to last anywhere from 30 seconds up to 80 hours.

I'm more curious to see how the game will actually play compared to length.

Is it going to be a mixture of sidescrolling/FPS/3rd person adventure. It confuses me and hurts my head

If I were to guess, I would guess it would be around the length of a Metroid Prime series.

I'm sure however long it is will be satisfying. Hell, I would have been happy with a new side scroller on WiiWare, so whatever Other M has to offer will be greatly accepted. If I were to take a gamble on play time, I would guess 20 hours on first play. The real question is what kind of replay value will this have. Do they want to bring back the obsessive speed runs that the core series is known for? If so, then replay could be hundreds of hours long, hehe.Michael-Smith
