| Ninpanda said: Honestly, I'm pretty much indifferent to her. As a character, she (like most video game characters) just isn't all that interesting to me. Well, not since I got past the initial 'OMG I WAS PLAYING AS A GURRLL?!' phase. I really wouldn't care if Nintendo decided to replace Samus with a new protagonist. In fact, I'd encourage it, since the Metroid canon is starting to get way too convoluted. (Though Sakamoto would probably fight to the death before letting that happen. |
)Honestly Metroid canon isn't that convuluted, at least as far as them making a new game is concerned, because at this point they've fairly exhausted any options aside from a chronological sequel to Fusion, and the only story stumbling-block that would have to deal with is whether the weird look of the Fusion suit is permanent or not (and it would be easy enough to come up with any number of explanations for why Samus yet again reverted back to a normal looking suit)
Given that Other M was a prequel to Fusion, it largely just served to fill in more of what Fusion set forth (that some guy called Adam Malkovich used to be Samus' CO, meaning Samus used to be in the military, and that said Adam died at some point, all of which Other M fleshed out and resolved)
While we're exploring back-stories, i'd like to see the next game address her time with the Chozo in some way (or at least moreso than Prime did)
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
