! Thanks for the video.
And actually I was talking about the baby metroid that they stole in the beginning of Super Metroid (you know, since we were talking about fighting things the enemy stole) And it looked like you were going to fight the metroid, but then it sort of just drains almost all your energy, runs off, and then….helps you....weird.

Ooooooh, that's what you were referring to. Thought you meant the Mother Brain.

Yep. Truth be told, Super Metroid was my first Metroid game and when I first played it I had absolutely no knowledge of the Metroid world. I did (and still do) know that Mother Brain was scary and frickin' bad ass though.
-
Have you seen her "Zero Suit"?! You're gonna get TnA, weather you like it or not!
ya, that was quite disapointing to me when they did that.
and thanks greg. i was just curios. i haven't played prine 3 yet, so i can't say one way or another.
-
Why? Samus can get away with a little sex appeal. When you're a badass chick, you can show some TnA, and still be awesome. Why? Because you're badass, that's how it works!
-
uh, because i think it's degrading, and every freaking character seems to have to do it to be "cool" i'd for once like a character who is cool, because of something other than sex appeal, and samus is/was it.
like i said already, you don't see indiana jones running around in a loin cloth. he's just cool being an adventurer.

I totally agree. Samus wasn't meant to be eye candy, and should never be.
-
Eh, Justin Bailey or not, Samus is still isn't that sexualized of a video game heroine. Actually, if you think about the Zero Suit is sort of a means of female empowerment, since it was that outfit that made everyone realize that Samus was a girl

@Mr.:

You do realize that in even metroid one, suitless samus was an unlockable?
Yeah, she sure wasn't meant to be eye candy. >_>
I'd understand if you guys were complaining about a character change, but this is how metroid has been from the GET GO. It's not like an image revamp that lara croft and sonic the hedgehog got.
Is it degrading? not really, it's not like she's some flirtatious slut bucket. it's just a reward for beating the game fast enough, and it's actually letting you know how the suit works. If you want to rage over female appearances in games, take that to soul caliber and bayonetta.
Samus stays well-clothed, for the most part. :P

only noobs and idiots don't know samus is a girl. as for the endings where she takes off her suit; i view that more as if batman was taking off his cowl. "oh cool, so that's batman, huh"

Or just ignore them all together.
-
Metroid is about exploration, destruction, and Ridley. Nothing more.
-

You're right, she wasn't. Just because she's a woman video game character doesn't really mean she was meant to be some play thing (even though there is a bikini cheat).

this guy knows what i'm talking about. this is samus! :) -
God, you people are like Paulie…
"LONG SLACKS! SAMUS NEEDS TO WEAR LONG SLACKS!"
Jesus Christ, you're desperate to keep her "pure." It's almost creepy. She's hot, and her uniform shows that off. Live with it.
-
Hey guys, Shmeckie said that a fictional character was hot.
What a freak.
-
It's not like I'm salivating over it (AHEM HALF THIS FORUM).
-
God, you people are like Paulie…

damn straight >:)

Yeah really Shmeckie, why can't you be more reserved in your "interests" like Nami and Robin fans?

This talk here almost makes me want to paste some bad Samus fanfic.
-Zera
-
I have to say I would prefer if Samus would be presented as… as non sexually as possible.
But, hey, Tomb Raider games were great. Or at least were great back when I was like twelve. I haven't really played a Tomb Raider game since the second one.
-
Here's the thing about Samus's sex appeal: she doesn't flaunt it (dear God, I'm talking about a video game character like it's a real person… holy crap I'm on an internet forum... and I'm posting!). It's okay for her to be attractive, it doesn't mean she can kick ass. Hell, that's why her games are popular. There are lots of video game heroines that rely on T and A to sell; not Samus. She relies on an arm mounted gun and kicking peoples' teeths in. Just because she also enjoys looking like a woman won't change that.

I can't imagine them being anything besides:
Samus explores planet -> Planet holds mysterious tentacle monsters -> ??????? - > Profit

yes and it needs to stay that way :) if samus ever goes towards the line of laura croft, …..i'll...go watch that new chipmunk movie...ya, that';s toutureous

I'm watching this with no sound because I'm in the midst of a class.
But even without the sound, my jaw has hit the floor.
I want this bad!
-
Is this game out yet? It needs to be out now. I want to play it. Now. I'm tired of not having this game in my hands.
-
Wow, when does this come out? It looks awesome and I wanna get it. If I do, this will be my 1st metroid game. Have I been missing out?
EDIT: It comes out June 27. \o/

You sure have been! You should at least try Super Metroid (on VC) which is one of my favorite game!
-

I think I will. I've had 700 points on the Wii shop just lying there for about a year or two. Might as well spend it on something good.
EDIT: Wait! I just remembered that I downloaded a metroid game on my wii. (Sorry, It's been a while since I picked it up), Though I think it might have been the first Metroid game.
-
I still don't get what in the hell Nintendo was thinking with the control scheme. Nunchuck + Wiimote works fine for side scrollers, with the added bonus of not being absolutely shit for 3D segments.
But holy shit, the game looks pretty.
-
-
I dunno about that…
It seems like they had to make some weird manoeuvres to add some extra moves in. Like tilting the wiimote forward or double tapping the d-pad to dodge.
And I can imagine that method of switching to first person mode can get annoying after a while, even if it is cool as hell.

Just one of the best action adventure series out there.:ninja: The very first game hasn't aged very well. You should get Super Metroid (VC), Metroid Fusion (GBA) and Metroid Zero Mission (which is a remake of the first game on GBA). The story line of Other M is set between Super Metroid and Fusion.
The Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii is pretty much a must have, but the games were made by an American team and don't have very much to do with the main story line.
-
Alright then it looks like I'm getting it! But, I'll probably get it in August or July the earliest considering I've been buying 5 volumes a month of OP. Ouch, my wallet is killing me. I need to get a summer job -_-.
-
AHHH! AHHH! AHHH! AHHH! hyperventilate
omg! >< I wasn't expecting much with this new one, but that totally rocked. it looked so much like a traditional metroid. they so got the style down. and a regular controller. thank god! I think that works SO much better.

Best Nintendo commercial since… I don't know, Majoras Mask?
Game should be out in a week or two. 6 fucking years since Zero Mission, CAN'T WAIT >_< -
That's it. I'm sorry Fire Emblem, but Metroid is officially my favorite Nintendo series.
My God, I cannot wait to play this game.
-
It comes out the day AFTER my Birthday?
Awesome.

Dang now I wish I brought a Wii with me to college. >.<

-
As if I needed another reason to buy this game. Goddamn this is gonna be awesome.
-
only noobs and idiots don't know samus is a girl. as for the endings where she takes off her suit; i view that more as if batman was taking off his cowl. "oh cool, so that's batman, huh"
What? Did you identify samus as female from the first metroid that you played? I say lucky guess.
After the morph ball everyone would think that she's a robot.
-
I think CO means anyone who doesn't know Samus is a girl by now is a yadda yadda yadda…
-
The game looks good gameplay wise and the graphics are great for a Wii game but I ain't a fan of the rubbery saturated art style.
-

ya, i thought that 30 years ago. welcome to 2010. the earth is also round.
-
Ads are pretty sweet, and so unlike Nintendo (at least the Nintendo I know)
I still think the control scheme is dumb.On a side note, I've never seen Captain Usopp being so condescending/sarcastic before.
She's not very good at it.
…Metroid isn't even 30 years old, is it? -
Yes, and not everybody is a videogame wiz, or has played metroid (or smash).
-
sorry. i think someone hit me with a grump stick this morning. I still say though, that you don't have to be a videogame wiz to know that samus is a girl. they flaunt that fact now-a-days. that's like saying you don't know who mini mouse is. I don't play a lot of games, or watch a lot of anime, but if they're main stream enough, I know of them. I don't play metal gear solid, but I know who solid snake is, and i get the box jokes, or the exclamation marks when someone is parodying it.

I Must. Get. Game.
