The Official Metroid Other M Thread

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.

I see.  I don't care much for timeline discussions either, but if it is in the game, I consider it canon.  I think the Prime Samus has as much right to be considered the "real" Samus as any other Metroid game's Samus.

I always thought that the Samus from Super and the Samus from the Prime games seemed the same to me anyway.  If Other M's is so different, that one is going to feel like the outlier to me.  I've never played the portable Metroids.

Anyway, Amazon says Other M is "Shipping Soon".  Hopefully it will go in the mail tomorrow.  After that things always seem to get here pretty fast.  Maybe I'll have it Monday.
