One area where Other M can't compare to Retro Studios Metroids is in boot-up sequences. I don't mean that in a very derogatory way; I just thought of it because my wife is finally sitting down to play Corruption (on Trilogy, no less) and the way the game boots up in very elegant and feels extremely powerful.
I guss one thing I have to accept is that the Prime Samus is the one I was thinking of as the canon version of the character, when she actually isn't. I think it highlights an intrinsic difference between the way Easterners and Westerners see Samus.
Why do I think I remember Sakamoto and Team Ninja referring to Samus as "Samus-chan" in an interview?

Wait, what?
Are you saying that the Prime Trilogy isn't canon?

I don't know. I don't care about Metroid canon in the same way I don't care about Zelda canon. Discussions of timelines actively offend me and I'd rather not get into it.
I'm saying that the Samus in the Prime series and the Samus in Other M are very, very different women with very, very different perspectives, treatments by other characters (and the authors), and reactions to situations.
Prime Samus isn't the "real" Samus, but it's how I always thought of her.
