Ah, so it's just a reenactment of the mother brain battle. Pity, I was hoping for a second showdown.

I just dislike the waist, since it makes it look like she's about as big around at the waist as my thigh.

Did I mention I'm really thin?

Mi-mi-mirakuru Mikarun-run.

Watch it before Nintendo pulls it.

Team Ninja: "You know what Samus really needs? A magical girl transformation sequence! Fuuuuuck yeaaaaaah."

yeah i too hate this stupid sexualisation that only popped up post-super met-

SAMUS DIED COMPLETELY NAKED

Director Mr. Sakamoto got his image of Samus Aran
from actress Kim Bassinger.
From the film The Getaway (CIC Picture Video 8 Month Rental)
(c) 1994 Victory Company of Japan, Ltd. All rights reserved.

Which person is the image closest to; was there someone specific?

Sakamoto: Personally, I like Kim Bassinger from 9 1/2 Weeks and My Stepmother is an Alien.

Osawa: Yeah, I see that. When Samus gets hit, her voice sounds like her.

What about when she dies?

Osawa: In the first phase of development, she was naked. You can see her naked for one frame. We put a bathing suit on her, but there was a subliminal effect for just an instant when you could see her naked for one frame.

Sakamoto: She was only naked for one second out of sixty minutes. However, when we stopped and thought about it for a moment, we had to stop because this sort of thing is terrible in America. (Laughs)

Osawa: It was dangerous, but Yamane* put clothes on her.

Yamamoto: We used the voice more carefully. When she dies, Hamano did the voice, but it sounded too sexual so we couldn't use it.

Hamano: When we sampled in front of the mic, I spoke a number of times. I wasn't any good and completely failed.

Yamamoto: I have to say it was a failure. (Laughs)

Sakamoto: I have a special version of the ROM with that in there. (Laughs)

It's also fun to make fun of YOU.

Oh yes I remember where I said that- Wait, no I don't. I was just making fun of a trailer, on account of its fun to make fun of trailers.

Cause you know how well *that's* been defined.

I mean, they could at least have put the metroid from Super Metroid in instead of the same character twice...

Mo' like Team Titties amirite?

You can trace an undercurrent of stupid sexualization all the way back to "Justin Bailey" but at least so far it's an undercurrent.

I liked the Zero Suit segment in Zero Mission and the Brawl incarnation evoked that, so I liked it. There are people who couldn't get past the fact that it's a form-fitting catsuit and I can't just straight up tell them they're wrong.

Team Ninja has a reputation for two things: legitimately difficult games (Gaiden) and "Every man loves tits."

But good news, everyone! This guy is in control of scripting.

"One of my goals is to present Samus as an appealing human character, and that involves explaining a little bit about what happened in her past as well as the characters that influenced her. The story will play a big part."

He never comes out and says so but I'm pretty sure that the whole story thing is going to be his bag, and he's been with Metroid since the beginning.

My retort wasn't specifically directed at you, but rather at the general opinion that "Team Ninja is whoring out Samus" when Sakamoto himself is probably to blame for that.

Regarding that 2D-3D switch controversy back on the first page before we started talking about how hot Samus is, Shadow Complex had something similar and it being "Controid", no one seemed to have much of a problem with it and most people seemed to like it.

EDIT: Also they totally padded out that 100 Classic Book Collection with like twenty Shakespeare plays, AND included Call of the Wild and White Fang for Jack London but no Sea Wolf. I also see neither Dracula OR Journey to the Center of the Earth. Quite the farce indeed!
