I'm not convinced that it was Samus' voice at the beginning of Super Metroid. I think it was some computer or something. She did narrate the intro, though. The main reason I don't want to hear Samus talk is because I don't want anything distracting me from her massive boobs. As long as she speaks only when wearing the chozo armor (whatever it's being called, these days.......), I won't mind.
^^^The guy above actually knows what an etecoon is! I support any statement he makes!! And for the record, even though she didn't actually speak with a voice in Metroid Fusion, Samus wasn't a silent protagonist. Sometimes, she wouldn't shut the hell up!!

It is known as the Varia Suit (which is more well known than the starting suits before the release of Metroid Prime: Hunters).
To allow a cinematic game to flourish, narration and other forms of speech are vital. Samus is the narrator and using text will reduce focus on the cutscenes and gameplay, voice-overs allow the gamer (like me) to focus on both. The previous games were less cinematic, so text was used.

Well actually, the Varia Suit has been in 90% of the Metroid games, including Metroid 1 on the Nes, Metroid 2, and Super Metroid. It's just the name of the power up that gives Samus the big shoulder thing-a-majigs and makes the armor stronger/cooler looking. She got some sort of Metroid DNA Armor in Metroid Fusion, and Phazon Armor (and some other armors I'm afraid I can't think of atm) in the Prime Series.
