According to a recent press release by NOE, Metroid Other M will be released in Europe on September 3, 2010. The press release also gives us some new info:

"In another series' first, Samus is getting more physical in Metroid: Other M, with a range of melee attacks up the sleeves of her Power Suit. Jump on enemies to perform the powerful Overblast attack, use the 1 Button with precise timing to Counter-attack and finish off wounded enemies with a Lethal Strike. Other new moves include dodging enemy attacks with a well-timed Sensemove and performing a health-restoring Concentration move by holding the Wii Remote vertically and the A Button pressed. Then there's the new weapon, the Diffusion Beam, which will scatter Charge Beams after impact and hit additional enemies."

UPDATE 7/15: BOTTLE SHIP = BSL; An Hour of Cutscenes

It appears we've overlooked a key announcement from this press release, mainly that the Bottle Ship, an enormous Galactic Federation research vessel divided into biospheres, similar to the BSL Station from Metroid Fusion:

The Biosphere, for example, is a gigantic greenhouse containing a jungle complete with waterfall, rainfall and countless tropical - and aggressive - creatures and plants. The Cryosphere, by contrast, is a cold, snowy environment where the temperature is so low that entrances are often blocked by ice. Or picture the Pyrosphere, an area filled with volcanoes and magma. Some areas here have such high temperatures that Samus's health decreases if not equipped with the heat-resistent Varia Suit.

We also have names of Samus' moves that coincide with those on the Japanese Metroid homepage, including Overblast (leap onto an enemy and fry its brains out), Counter-attack, The press release also promises more than one hour of cut-scenes! You can read the original press release here -CapCom
