You saw Samus as a female Duke Nukem, and you accuse Sakamoto of being a sexist? Geeh!! There is truly no logic on the internet. 

You left out the very obvious and relevant MINUS part. Presumably deliberately, since your entire argument with Other M (that it could expand the Metroid fanbase beyond the "hardcore" fans) was proven wrong and you are left with desperate ad hominem.

I wasn't being selective. The minus thing doesn't matter. The point is that Duke Nukem is a compleet non-character, even without the sex. He's fun, but utterly... utterly brainless. Wasn't Samus supposed to be deep and stuff...? She's supposed to be an intelligent, skilled bountyhunter.  

And second:

What... desperate... me...? Nah! I don't derive my self image from games, nor their sales. Do you?

Anyway, i said that Nintendo wanted to expand the Metroid audience, but... that it clearly wasn't off on a good start. You' re being selective there. And seeing at this point: Other M won't reach the 2 million they projected. A bit of a fail for the expanding part. 

Still miffed about the fact  that Nintendo wanted to shed some of the old purist fans...? They wanted to do it. I meerly pointed out the reasoning for it. But cheer up, they are just - or in the process off - failing their goal. Doesn't that make you happy... or you need a man to tell you to feel happy?
