I have to say Im interested in Metriod again. I played Prime and it was fine, but I never ever have the urge to play prime 2 or 3 EVER 
I loved the side scrolling ones, and this looks like it has the best of both.  
 
Also, to anyone who thinks it looks terrible, you make me laugh.

" game looks decent, but i don't really trust the goodness of wii-mote's digital direction pad...  some reason i never felt good with both the wii and the NDS' digital direction pads. PlayStation on the other hand has a good digital pad, or so i felt. "
No worries. The Dual Shock D-Pad is actually worse than the ones on the DS and the Wiimote. If you can handle a Dual Shock D-Pad, the ones on those consoles shouldn't be any problem.

Lots of people had a good time playing Shadow Complex this past summer.  This takes what those developers did and takes it to the next level.  It brings it all back home since SC was inspired by earlier Metroid games.  This new look for the franchise is exciting.

I hope this is good. Graphically it looks okay, but I'm not big on some of the design choices. Granted, that is passable if the game is solid. What really worries me though is movement speed, first-person controls, and the terrible VO work. I may be old fashioned, but I liked it when Samus was silent or at least not shouting one-liners.

This game looks so good! I can't wait to play this and Mario Galaxy 2! If Nintendo can announce some more good games made for people who actually play them I would be more compelled to play things on their system.

This trailer actually made it look pretty sweet, I hope the final product does end up being as good as this trailer made it look.

Using only the Wii remote will probably suck when compared to a nun chuk set up. But we'll see.

If the level design is solid Metroid and the game plays as well as it looks like it does, it'll be the best Metroid game since Metroid Fusion. Otherwise, I fear it will be the worst game in the franchise.

Interesting fact: Team Ninja is only handling stuff like the controls, the 3D modeling, the combat, etc..
 
Everything else (story, level design, character design, basic gameplay design) is being done by the same Nintendo team that made Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Zero Mission.

As a long time Metroid fan I'm pretty excited for this. It looks like it has the potential to be pretty damn cool. The first person stuff looks a little "eh" to me. It'll kind of depend on how hard it is to switch back and forth I think.

It looks like there's an auto aim feature while running around, so what the hell is the purpose of going into 1st person. I suppose if you felt the game was playing too well and wanted the shoddy mechanics of first person shooting on the wii, it would be a welcome change.

Because some things can't be hit in third-person, or require a missile to hit (which needs first-person), or need to be scanned.

So basically this game is in good hands.

Japanese version of the trailer is up, and it shows some extra gameplay (melee attacks, freezing individual body parts, dodging, morph balling through rooms on different planes, BEHIND THE BACK PERSPECTIVE):

This reminds me more of the old Metroids instead of those first person takes on it. I think it looks great.

What's with her ugly ass birthmark thing (I refuse to call it a "beauty mark" as there is nothing remotely beautiful about a mole)? I don't remember her having that before.

Looks pretty OK. The oversized boobs in Zero Suit Samus are an obvious sign of team ninja's involvement.

Okay side scroll with the crude wii mote side-ways, okay Im in; but then running towards the background (basically 3D gaming) with a D-pad? no analog!? no way! so i would want to use a gamecube controller for this game. But wait you can't because it has the stupid looking first person thing so you need the wii mote... i won't hold my breath on this one. Maybe controls are dumbed down enough for this to work, but I'd rather they made a real 2D Super Metroid sequel and used the classic controller for it.

Two concerns: 
1) d-pad in a 3D space 
2) the frequency of the 1st person-required gameplay

probably the first time Ive been excited for a metroid game in some time. 
 
I personally like the 3d view shift.  the Primes always felt like 3d shooters that were forcibly limited  because they weren't supposed to be FPS game, they also felt somewhat clunky as a platformer.  Now you know when you are in 3d view its for precision and exploring.   
 
That line she says at the end was pretty badass too.
