The creator of the Metroid games, Yoshio Sakamoto, feels that his collaboration with Team Ninja and Yosuke Hayashi "feels destined". In an interview with Gamasutra, Sakamoto divulged the reason behind his decision to pick Team Ninja from among other developers for Other M.

"I had come up with the Other M storyline and the rough outline for the game design, but I realized that what we had around us was basically a team that had been working on handheld games for quite awhile and we were looking at trying to make a 3D game here, so we realized that we needed some help.

We looked out there at who’d be available and who’d be interested in both the concept and the storyline, and when we finally contacted Team Ninja they were very interested in the project and realized this was also a very good fit for them. Once we had a clear understanding of the shared goals, we were able to move forward."

As for his relationship with Hayashi-san, "One thing I especially appreciate about Mr. Hayashi is that he seems to have some sort of intuitive sense to understand me. Perhaps it's because we already have shared interests and similar backgraounds, but I feel like he just gets me.... There's something about this partnership that feels destined."

Metroid: Other M is now tagged with an August 31, 2010.
