The latest piece of release date news to escape from the Nintendo Summit today is that the Team Ninja-developed Metroid: Other M will release in late June in North America for Nintendo Wii.

Metroid: Other M will release on exactly June 27th in North America, and will represent a major shift from Retro Studio’s recent series of first-person action adventure titles as the franchise moves towards a third-person/2D action style, and more in line with the kind of gameplay Team Ninja (Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive) is familiar with.

For more information, screenshots and videos for Metroid: Other M, you need only check out El33tonline’s previous coverage of the game to catch yourself up.
