Which developer co-created Metroid: Other M with Nintendo?

Team Ninja co-created Metroid: Other M with Nintendo. The project combined Team Ninja’s 3D action expertise with Nintendo’s Metroid direction, writing, and series knowledge.

Nintendo producer and Metroid creator Yoshio Sakamoto approached Team Ninja after deciding that the new game needed a partner experienced with 3D action. Team Ninja, the Tecmo studio known for Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, handled major programming and 3D modeling work. Nintendo SPD contributed to the project, and the broader development group was known as Project M.

Other M deliberately differed from the first-person Prime games. It used a third-person perspective for most play, relied on the Wii Remote, and placed greater emphasis on cinematic storytelling and Samus’s past. Players could also switch into a first-person view for scanning and certain interactions.

Retro Studios is a common wrong answer because it developed the Prime trilogy. Intelligent Systems and HAL Laboratory are Nintendo partners associated with other franchises, not Other M’s co-developer. The game released for Wii in 2010 and is set between Super Metroid and Fusion.
