Metroid and Me (by Samus Aran)

Metroid and Me (by Samus Aran) is a promotional trailer for Metroid: Other M.
It is a retrospective of the Metroid series. The video covers the events prior to Other M, in Metroid (curiously, instead of the remake Metroid: Zero Mission), Metroid II: Return of Samus and Super Metroid. It completely disregards the Metroid Prime series and Metroid Fusion (the latter is the chronological sequel to Other M). It features the Other M intro scene depicting Super Metroid's ending, with scenes from the original version placed in for comparison. After this, Samus is seen in her Star Ship; this is the scene where she picks up the distress signal "Baby's Cry" from the BOTTLE SHIP. The trailer is narrated by Samus, voiced by her in-game actresses Jessica Martin and Ai Kobayashi in English and Japanese, respectively; portions of her narration are similar to "The Story So Far" in the Other M instruction booklet, although there are minor differences.
On May 20, 2010, new footage was posted to YouTube. It was later revealed to be a retrospective on the Japanese Nintendo Channel, narrated by Samus.
On August 17, 2010, just two weeks before the release of the game, an English translation was posted on Metroid.com. It is relatively the same as before, although the game cartridges and systems shown have been changed, as well as the music from Metroid, due to regional differences. Other differences include the removal of a clip of Samus in Super Metroid, opening her eye. Another clip that was removed consisted of Samus destroying Mother Brain in the Other M recreation. The latter is replaced with an additional clip of gameplay throughout the series as Samus recounts that Mother Brain (Other M depiction), the Space Pirates (Ridley in Metroid is depicted), the Metroids (in their most recognizable larva stage in Return of Samus) and Zebes (Samus running on the Crateria Landing Site in Super Metroid is depicted) were eradicated from the galaxy forever.
Music from each of the four games plays throughout the trailer. This includes the Title theme from Metroid, Brinstar Depths, Title theme from Return of Samus, Surface, Theme of Samus, Crateria - The Space Pirates Appear, Big Boss Confrontation BGM (Kraid, Crocomire, Phantoon) and Mother Brain.
