I think the trailer was just going over the main series. You know, Metroid 1, 2, and 3. Other M is kind of like 3.5 or the would-be 4 if Fusion didn't come out before it. The Prime series is like a gaiden. A side story for the series, and I agree that it fits in well with the setting. I don't really buy the fact Nintendo is retconning Prime.

They had Retro work on the first game over and over till they got it right, a lot of money and work was spent on Metroid Prime. The Metroid Prime story arc is one of the most successful games in the franchise, I'm starting to doubt that this retcon is real. It could be that Team Ninja didn't do the research on the Prime games or just didn't bother referencing with them, since it would be easier to make references with the main series since it's easier for them than it is to establish everything from the Prime games.

Some comfort to those upset about the timeline malfunction for Metroid: Other M follows.

This Gentleman has gone through a painstaking effort of piecing the series and other arbitrary events into the timeline. Though he hasn't dwelled much on Other M yet, I suspect he will soon. In the meantime, it is still an interesting lead.

Actually, I think a lot of people jumped the gun when Other M didn't mention Prime. It's okay people, the Prime series is NOT retconned, so settle down.

Hmmm, it's kind of interesting to see a couple of you so upset. Whenever I run into problems like that with some of my favorite games/books/etc I do one of three things:

I work the storyline together in my own way. Like it would work if they reshuffled it so that the Prime series came after Other M.

I ignore all the little things that clash. I can't tell you how many times I have to do that with my character Trisha's storyline! Hahahaha.

I plug my ears and go "BLAH! BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH!!!" really loud.

Generally I don't care much about what's canon and what's not canon.

Except when its my stuff they make non canon. I generally always play the evil option in games where you can, and it pisses me off to no end when the developers always make the good ending canon.

No problem-o Aiko! I should have it done in no time at all and I'll PM it to you.

Trust me, you're not the first person to ask for a summary ;)

Edit: Actually you know what? I'm going to just post it publicly in case anyone else feels a bit lost.

Edit 2: Yay! Done! You can find it here http://s1.zetaboards.com/RealitysExile/single/?p=420073&t=696449

I just finished playing a copy of Other M owned by a friend of mine.

...

Alright, i'm going to just ask this once: Did anyone else here have Bella Swan repeatedly come to mind with her constant pining over Adam.

Seriously, I don't want to go into a rant about this but any element of badass about her seems to be stripped away. The only badass thing about her seems to just be her equipment.

My favorite cat has disappeared.

Normally I wouldn't be worried, as cats tend to find quiet places to sleep for days, but recently this cat ate some of one of the many plants sitting around and has gotten ill; This in conjunction with the cat in question being quite old is leading me to fear for the worst. If this is true than this will be a very, very bad weekend, because honestly I feel closer to this cat than I do to a good ninety percent of people I've met.
Takeoff.
