    I love that the entire reason that Samus is a girl is because they thought, "Hey, this would be a cool twist!"
    Still one of the coolest things Nintendo's ever done.

      +Goyagma I agree. The Wii version took a great game and made it worlds better. When I first tried it, I was so used to using a Gamecube controller, I kept telling myself "I'm never gonna get the hang of this." By the time I reached that first boss, I was very surprised at just how well the motion controls responded.

      Moreover,Metroid doesn't _needs_ the Alien movies to exist all in itself,they just made references throughout the first four games.

    • @elvampe13
      @elvampe13 9 лет назад

      Piibbish In essence, Fusion doesn't give you the freedom like previous Metroid games gave you. You have to collect the main powerups in a very, VERY specific order, which triggers the next cutscene/dialogue in the game. And if, somehow, you dont follow this linear path by using frame-specific tricks, or cheating/hacking, the game DOES screw you over. Why Fusion did this when previous Metroid games didn't is a mystery... Though the game is still decent.

  • @TheCeejReturns
    @TheCeejReturns 9 лет назад +15

    Samus was referred to as he in the instruction booklet, not because of an oversight, and only partially to make it a shock to the gamer. The story goes that not much was known about "him." Even the Federation didn't know she was a chick when they hired her for the first time. Yes, that story point was written to cover it up to the gamer too, because it was felt no one would play a video game with a female protagonist, but it WAS written in the story that they thought she was a man, so it's not like they're pulling a fast one or anything.
    Of course, this also means the prequels can't be canon, but that's a given since they're by a different writer anyway.

    • @TheCeejReturns
      @TheCeejReturns 9 лет назад +1

      The Ceej Also, let's be fair. You're going by the retconned version of the story.
      In the canon, the Metroid's home planet was Zebes. SR388 is where the
      Space Pirates moved them to after Zebes was destroyed. That's why they
      mutate on SR388. Because their bodies react negatively to the
      atmosphere.

    • @LET4M4RU

      I don't remember that passage. I just remember the booklet for the original Metroid was referring to her with male pronouns and saying "not much is known about him." It is possible that one of the non-canon games mentions that it was thought she was a robot, but I'm fairly sure that wasn't mentioned in the canon.

    • @LET4M4RU

    Both games are increasingly long and hard.... wait that didn't sound right o_o
    Paccet ("I'm your friend!") = Baby Metroid
    Masuyo Toby clone (In the final levels) = Dark Samus. Do I really have to mention her? =.=" XD
    ending of game: Masuyo takes off her helmet revealing she's a woman
    ending of metroid: Ms.Aran takes HER ENTIRE SUIT OFF Revealing that she is a woman
    I both thought they were boys
    I found out Samus was female during some Animated video called Brawl taunts that I watched with my dad when I was at least 8 or 9
    I found out *KISSY* was female back in 2011 from Screwattack's DEATH BATTLE: Bomberman vs. Dig Dug. And to me, it was a _BIGGER_ Twist and shocker. Just saying...
    OOH!
    Oh, I almost forgot to tell you

    I think the naming of the varia suit was a happy accident. The greek word βαρεία (pronounced "varia", with the i being the accented syllable) means something like "grave", or "heavy", or "severe", but also refers to the greek equivalent of the grave-accent mark like the english word "grave". So it works pretty well. That way it seems even more desirably impactful than "barrier"

    The "-oid" ending doesn't have to come from "android". It comes from the Latin "eidos", meaning "form or shape".
    Also, considering the history of the word metropolis (the long-form of metro), coming from "mḗtēr", meaning mother, and "pólis", meaning city; "metroid" could easily mean "mother-shaped". Ergo, it's not a weird name at all, considering her gender.
    Do you guys even research this stuff?

    Nightmare still remains one of the most freaky bosses ever featured in a Metroid game. I think I still have stronger memories of first playing the intro of Super Metroid in a store though. Super Metroid was in a whole new league over what came before, and I remember that by the time I'd gone through both Ridley and the space station escape, I was just trembling from the adrenaline rush. To be fair though, if I was that young when I played Fusion and fought Nightmare, it'd have been total WTF. D:

  • @1nintendofanboy1
    @1nintendofanboy1 11 лет назад

    Not to mention that the story itself is basically the same order of events as in Fusion. End up at a research lab, explore the different sectors, find out about Sector Zero where they are using Metroids as bio-weapons, fight a reincarnated Ridley, and even alot of elements are similar. You could only get power-ups in Fusion when those unnamed scientists said it was ok. I honestly wished they labeled Other M as a "What If" scenario. That way, it wouldn't retcon Prime (3 in particular) from canon.
