Controls [CN00]

Learn Metroid: Other M controls, including Normal View and First Person perspective, and when to use each.

There are two primary ways to hold the Wiimote in Metroid: Other M, each offering a different perspective:

• Horizontal Style: Hold the Wiimote horizontally, similar to playing Metroid on the Virtual Console or as shown on the initial screen. This mode presents the Normal View, which is the standard perspective where you see Samus and is used for general movement and standard combat.
• Vertical Style: Point the Wiimote directly at the screen. This activates Search View, offering a First Person perspective of your surroundings.

When to use Normal View:

• When moving around the room.
• When in standard combat.
• When in Morph Ball mode or to drop bombs.

When to use Search View:

• When firing missiles.
• When activating switches with the beam.
• When Samus needs to examine something.
